Default I like the cinema/I like the movies/I like films

I think I am translating directly and have definitely been living here too long:

I like the cinema.

I like the movies.

I think both mean you like going to the cinema and watch movies. I wonder.....I am not sure anymore "I like the cinema" is the exact wording we use in Spanish.

Whereas: I like movies/films: you like watching films, anywhere, DVD, Video, cinema...


Thanks for your input.
