Talk:blue film

RFD discussion: July 2018–March 2019
Open to argument, but this doesn't convince me. "Blue movie", which is a lot more common, might perhaps be felt as a set phrase, but "blue film"? It feels to me just like blue + film, especially since it can be turned around: "The film was a bit blue" (sounds very dated, but this kind of usage is or was common). You can also have blue jokes, a blue novel etc etc. Ƿidsiþ 06:47, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: Both "blue movie" and "blue film" are commonly used terms for the same thing, i.e., a pornographic film. While 'blue movie' is now an outdated term, 'blue film' seems to be a more common usage over the world. I've commonly seen it used in media over the world when referring to a pornographic film/"blue movie", some recent examples: New Straits Times, The Copenhagen Post, Times of India. This should probably be submitted for an RFV than deletion.


 * PS: Also looks like 'blue movie' only became popular after Andy Warhol's movie of the same name, 'blue film' seems to be the older term.[1 ] Gotitbro (talk) 18:49, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
