Maybe also True Story. I like using a tag I created called DocuDrama.,. Series of events based on actual fact with a bit of ol'hollywood thrown in for the Drama part. Films like Titanic / Birth of A Nation / Raging Bull /The Right Stuff /Apollo 13 /Schindlers List /The Great Escape and a whole lot of other war movies based on fact / westerns based on fact/ criime dramas based on fact i.e. Helter Skelter - In Cold Blood -Boston Strangler.. etcetra .... I vote for DOCUDRAMA to be used instead of True Story or Historic.. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

I vote for DOCUDRAMA to be used instead of True Story or Historic.. Isn't a docudrama already a specific type of film, though? Its a documentary filmed with parts of it presented in dramatic recreation which is supposed to be accurate in detail. You see this type on the History Channel and Discovery quite frequently. For example, I recently saw one on the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. It was narrated in documentary fashion with dramatic battle recreations playing as a backdrop to the narration. That is as opposed to an historical drama, such as 'The Blue and the Gray' which was historically accurate in that it portrayed how the Civil War tore families apart, but it was fictionalized dramatically. | | | John

Exactly !! .,., that is why I think the term Docudrama is the perfect name, it is already used in areas as you describe.

I'd like to differ erotic movies from XXX movies (as a genre!) in some way. Erotica, would have suggested it too, but could only say 2. |

| | Posted: | | | | Since we're into the whole genre updating business, could we please have "Classic" removed? I don't see how anyone should be able to judge a movie as a classic. To me, it seems that a movie made before 1980 is sure to get it and especially if it is B/W. Throw it out, it has no use!

/Mikkel Definitely agree with this! Casablanca and Night of the Living Dead having the same genre?!  |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, please do remove 'Classic' and 'Special Interest' and anything else that isn't a genre! I also support the 'Live Performance' idea. Makes sense.
Tlevel's suggestion of local genres, reminded me of a feature idea I posted ages ago. I'd like to see the genre list kept to a minimum, but then have an open text field for local keywords. Then you can enter, and search on, whatever you like. MattyJames suggested 'Zombie', which I don't think should be a separate genre, but he would be able to enter it as a local keyword. Same goes for 'War'; you could locally add 'Vietnam', 'WWII', etc. | | | Jon
