About Genre's

"Genre" is notoriously hard to pinpoint because there is so much cross-over between genres and there are so many sub-genres. Rather than debate the point, I offer this list as nothing more than a beginning measure of reference. As I've used it here, genre is intended to suggest broad moods, not to classify the genus and species of a particular film. I have included each film in as many catagories as I felt were warranted.
