有人說To see a movie 和 To watch a movie 兩種說法也可以，而事實的確如此，但原來這兩個動詞的用法也有細微的分別。To see a movie 一般隱含To go to the cinema and see a movie的意思。而To watch a movie則表示 To watch a movie at home (可能是DVD、電視或電腦)。
去(電影院)看電影也有很多說法︰
To go to the movies (不說To go to a movie或to go to movies，要說a movie則要改成To go to see a movie)
To go to the pictures (不說To go to the films)
To go to the flicks (比較舊的英式用法)
To go to the cinema
根據以上例句，the movies/ the pictures/ the cinema這三個字前面一定有the，因為這是英文的習慣用法。建議大家the movies 看成一個字，如果只說movies 而沒有the，意思就會不同了。
邀請朋友看電影可說︰
How about a movie?
Care to see a movie?
Would you like to go to the movies?
Would you like to go to the movies?
Let's go to the movies!
Why don't we grab a movie?
Fancy a night at the flicks?
另外， to go to的後面一般緊接一個地點，如果沒有特定的場所，則要注意。
To go on a guided walk
To go on a date
To go on a journey
