Möchten ist höflich, wollen ist fordernd, wenn man etwas von anderen erwartet. Man kann auch möchten in Form von wünschen und wollen in Form von auf jeden Fall erreichen anwenden.
Ich möchte gerne ins Kino gehen (Wunsch nach Kinobesuch, ob man dann geht oder nicht, ist offen)
Ich will ins Kino gehen (auf jeden Fall)
Ich möchte gerne ein Brötchen haben (freundliche Frage nach einem Brötchen, was man in dem Fall auch will)
Ich will ein Brötchen haben (fordernde Aufforderung)
Kindern bringt man idR bei, dass sie bitte zu möchten und nicht zu wollen haben 😉
Veralteter Spruch dazu: Kinder, die was wollen, kriegen was auf die Bollen. (Im übertragenen Sinn: kriegen was auf den Po)

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- German
"Wollen" drückt einen direkten, eher starken Wunsch aus, "möchten" ist im Vergleich die zurückhaltendere, höflichere Variante. Wenn du beispielsweise in einem Restaurant etwas bestellst, solltest du "möchten", nicht "wollen" benutzen.
