Flick
Significado: Casual, slightly dated slang for a movie, used since the early film era.
Flick is a casual, slightly retro way to say 'movie.' It can describe any film but is often used for lighter fare — action flicks, chick flicks, horror flicks. The term carries a fun, unpretentious connotation. You wouldn't call a serious art film a 'flick.'
