Also:

U.S = pants
U.K = trousers

U.S = shorts
U.K = underpants, or pants

U.S = panties
U.K = knickers (old word, more polite, or used as mild insult, panties is modern, though may be seen as less polite)

U.S = candy (covers both sugar sweets and chocolate?)
U.K = sweets, though sugary/sour/gummy ones distinct from chocolate

U.S = cookies
U.K = biscuits (cookies are a type of biscuit)

U.S = sidewalk
U.K = pavement

U.S = apartments, an apartment
U.K = flats, a flat

U.S = pictures (building)
U.K = cinema

The US is big, so there are definitely variations from one part to the other. As for your last point though, I've never heard someone in the US refer to a cinema as pictures. It's always cinema or movie theater. Theater itself is used interchangeably between movies and stages (think ballet, musicals, opera, etc.).
