The working definition of a "TV show" is a series with regular installments/showings overtime, or at least many shorter length shows. A "movie" is the opposite, with just one production film. This is flexible, of course, as a movie can have later installments, but it is not its primary purpose. There are many "movies" that never make it to the Cinemas because of bad production value, ie bad movies!

Your definition would call Netflix's recent film "Bright" a show, which of course it is not. Cannes is being ridiculous.

So would the Marvel Cinematic Universe series be a show or movies? How about James Bond?
TV show episodes aren't released years apart. TV seasons are.
MCU releases "episodes" every few months
They release less than 2 a year most years
