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)
- I can't remember now, but I wouldn't rule it out, it has the same definition as blue movie. This term would be rather dated and I think this needs to go to RFV, to see if anything can be found in Google Books. DonnanZ (talk) 07:44, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
- It's attestable, though it doesn't seem particularly common.

- Delete: film is predominantly used in British English as opposed to movie in American English. However even in British English you would refer to a blue movie as a set phrase and not a blue film. -Stelio (talk) 19:45, 3 August 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 While 'blue movie' is now an outdated term, 'blue film' seems to be a more common usage over the world.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)
