Ok so how do you class a movie as being a typical Hollywood movie? What factors are considered etc?

Big budget; aimed at 9 year old kid's mental level; edited by someone with ADHD for an audience with very short attention span; over-reliance on SPFX spectacle over content; cliché-ridden dialogue; loud and dumb.

I'm more thinking along the lines that many films are not filmed in Hollywood, yet are given the name. Is this because of distributors, production, crew, stars or otherwise? Perhaps it's just a generic term for American films as Bollywood is for Indian movies.

I've seen A Clockwork Orange referred to as a Holywood film yet it was set and filmed in the UK and had British and Irish actors. Even the director Stanley Kubrick, although American, had lived in the UK for 10 years before filming commenced and would do so until the time of his death. The only American thing about it would appear to be WB.

I would never say that A Clockwork Orange was a Hollywood film.
I think the person that did that clearly doesn't know what they were talking about in that instance.
I think the term 'Hollywood film' is just becoming a catch-all term, as you stated above, Matt.
It's influence is so pervasive it can't really be understated. It's as much a product of what it is as what it isn't, which is where Bollywood and European (or art-house) cinema comes in.

I think 'Hollywood' is just more or less synonymous with 'popular'.
There's a hint of inverted snobbery about it as well.

Looking at it a little more I tend to agree, and Hollywood film on wiki redirects to Cinema of the United States.
