Categories
A vain attempt to categorize films by genre, style, or characteristics.
Action & Adventure
Those films which prominently feature explosions, escapades, and entertainment of the pulpiest order.
Comedy
Those films which prominently feature jokes, gags, sarcasm, or other attempts at humor.
Comic Book
Those films which prominently feature superheros, outlandish madvillainy, and other creations from the cheap paper pages of a graphic novel or novella.
Crime & Mystery
Those films which prominently feature murder, suspects, or other elements of intrigue. May overlap with Film Noir.
The Culture
Those films which prominently feature a link to the complex tapestry that is hip-hop, whether it has a rapper-actor, a musical/artistic connection, or serves as a foundational film for lyrical references.
Documentary
Those films which fool the audience into believing they're experiencing a bit of reality.
Film Noir
Those films which prominently feature some combination of: a morally ambiguous protagonist, crime that doesn't pay, a dame who's more trouble than she's worth, and chiaroscuro..... Whatever that means.
Musical & Concert Film
Those films which prominently feature singing, dancing, or other melodic spectacles.

Politics
Those films which prominently feature the backroom deals, slimy representatives, nationalist idealism, and lust for power that characterize our understanding of government.
Religious
Those films which prominently feature considerations of the Divine and worship of the Divine. May include holiday films.
RomanceThose films which prominently feature lust, love (unrequited, requited, spurned, churned, and burned), and the poetic connection between peoples.
Science-Fiction
Those films which prominently feature far-out settings, novel devices, and characters and themes that may not be so alien to our contemporary society.
Thriller
Those films which prominently feature suspense and keep you on the edge of your seat, maybe even making you fret that there's a ticking bomb underneath it.
War
Those films which prominently feature soldiers, battles, missions, and a reminder of atrocities.
WesternThose films which prominently feature gunslingers, blackhats, and the might, untamed West. Divided - by my analysis - into Classical Westerns, Psychological Westerns, Spaghetti Westerns, and Funereal Westerns.
