What do you call the music in movies?
Both, but each in different circumstances. If it's music specifically written/orchestrated for JUST that film by the original film's composer, it's a film score. (Such as Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc.) If it's a compilation of songs featured in the film (music previously released, separate from the movie), it's a soundtrack.
Why are movies called movies?
Short for "Moving Pictures," it refers to the process of photographing a subject numerous times at a controlled pace, then presenting (i.e. projecting) those photos at a fast pace. The subject of a series of still photos then appears to move- Like a flip-book. When sound was introduced to film it was called a "Talkie," I'm not sure why we've reverted to the original term "movie."

What do you call movies that have 8 or 9 films?
While there are several different terms, the term that comes to mind for me is Saga. Such as the Star Wars Saga, the Star Trek Saga, etc. Coronals could be another term uses, such as Coronals of Narnia.If the movies are not connected as a single story but a number of stand alone films with the same characters, such as a 007 James Bond, you might say Anthology, Collection, Series, or Adventures.Some people may just refer to the movies as a common title, such as Harry Potter.Trilogies are a special term for a set of three movies, such as Indiana Jones (Pre Crystal Skull), back to the Future, Lord of the Rings, Godfather.If you have a movie that is split into several smaller sections, such as many Stephen King movies like It, The Stand, etc. You would be dealing with a mini series. Often this is done for movies or adaptations made to be shown on TV in hour long time frames.

What do you call names of the cast that appear after a movie?
The original question is:What do you call names of the cast that appear after a movie?Answer:Two types of credits are used in films and television programmes. They provide attribution to the staff involved in their productions. While opening credits usually display only the major positions in a production's cast and crew (such as creators, producers, and lead actors), closing credits typically acknowledge all members on the staff that were involved in the production.Credits which scroll either left-to-right or up-and-down are also known as staff rolls, which comes from pre-digital days when the names were literally on a roll of paper and would pass in front of the camera. Standard film credits move from bottom to top, and are often called credit crawls. Industry traditions, guild rules, and union rules generally dictate the order and placement of specific names and job titles. Increasingly, post-credit scenes are being added to the end of films.Credits for motion pictures often include the names of any locales (cities, states, and countries ) used to film scenes, as well as any organizations not related to the production (schools, government entities, military bases) that played a role in the filming.
What do you call someone who loves movies?

Why do Americans call films "movies"?
Serious answer: It's short for “moving pictures.” Also, while most credit the first feature length film to be in 1906 and was from Australia, since 1910, America (and more specifically Hollywood) has dominated the film business. Since it's America's business, it seems to me they have the right to call it whatever they want.Not so serious answer: If you think you get to call them “films” when the creators call them “movies,” then I get to ask “why some other countries call wrenches (which literally wrench bolts or pipes into place) “spanners,” when they don't span anything?”
What is a movie, a cinema and a film? Why do we call a single medium with different names?
They all mean something...cinema (n.)From French cinéma, shortened from cinématographe "motion picture projector and camera," coined 1890s by Lumiere brothers, who invented it, from Latinized form of Greek kinemat-, comb. form of kinema "movement," from kinein "to move" (see cite) + graphein "to write" (see -graphy).movie (n.)1912 (perhaps 1908), shortened form of moving picture in the cinematographic sense (1896). As an adjective from 1913. Movie star attested from 1913. Another early name for it was photoplay.film (n.)Old English filmen "membrane, thin skin," from West Germanic *filminjan (cognates: Old Frisian filmene "skin," Old English fell "hide"), extended from Proto-Germanic *fello(m) "animal hide," from PIE *pel- (4) "skin, hide" (cognates: Greek pella, Latin pellis "skin"). Sense of "a thin coat of something" is 1570s, extended by 1845 to the coating of chemical gel on photographic plates. By 1895 this also meant the coating plus the paper or celluloid. First used of "motion pictures" in 1905.There is also the term talkie which came into use when movies with sound were invented, to differentiate between those and silent movies.As for how they're used - it's kind of interchangeable though cinema is mainly used to describe the place where 'films or 'movies' are watched (cinema seems to have come to refer to the projection side of it, whereas film is the medium that is projected).The term movie is more synonymous with a feature film. I would say it's more commonly used in America. In Britain the term is hardly ever used, you wouldn't say "let's go and see a movie" you would say "let's go and see a film" or "shall we go to the cinema". What you might say though is "have you seen that new David Fincher movie".Film tends to be more synonymous with more 'artistic' productions (the Cannes 'Film' Festival etc). If someone is saying that they're a film (or cinema) lover, it usually means they're into less mainstream stuff. To me movie has connotations of Hollywood blockbusters. I've read that this is because the term movie was originally a slang term and more informal.Short films are usually known as just that, you wouldn't normally say short movie (perhaps for the reason just mentioned).By the way, if you want to know the origin of a word the term for that is it's 'etymology'. Just search that and google will tell you.
