agree  Dina El Kassas: Je suis d'accord. Etre cinéphile ne signifie pas nécessairement que l'on soit incollable en cinéma. Or selon la définition de Film nerd, il est question d'une personne qui "can usually recognize and name the film title, cast, crew, directors/producers"

agree  kashew: I think this is the spot-on, nuanced translation: cinephile and accro are too ordinary (classique).

  -> Thank you Kashew :)

il y a dans nerd quelque chose d'affligeant. Cela implique une connaissance encyclopédique au détriment d'autres aspects de la vie. On peut être cinéphile sans connaître nécessairement le nom de l'éclairagiste de All About Eve, par exemple (premier numéro des Cahiers du Cinéma).
