A genre is a division of a particular form of art or
utterance according to criteria particular to that form.
In all art forms, genres are vague categories with no
fixed boundaries. Genres are formed by sets of
conventions, and many works cross into multiple
genres by way of borrowing and recombining these
conventions. In film theory, genre refers to the
primary method of (commercial) film categorization.
A "genre" generally refers to films that share
similarities in the narrative elements from which they
are constructed.

Three main types are often used to categorize
film genres; setting, mood, and format. The film's
location is defined as the setting. The emotional
charge carried throughout the film is known as its
mood. The film may also have been shot using
particular equipment or be presented in a specific
manner, or format.
Crime - places its character within realm of criminal
activity
Film noir - portrays its principal characters in a
nihilistic and existentialist realm or manner
Historical - taking place in the past
Science fiction - placement of characters in an
alternative reality, typically in the future or in space
Sports - sporting events and locations pertaining to
a given sport
War - battlefields and locations pertaining to a time
of war
Westerns - colonial period to modern era of the
western United States
A crime film, in its most general sense, is a film that
deals with crime, criminal justice and the darker side
of human nature. Stylistically, it can fall under many
different genres, most commonly drama, thriller,
mystery and film noir. Films focused on the Mafia are
a typical example of crime films.
Twelve Angry Men (1955)
Before the Fact (1932)
Suspicion (U.S., 1941)
The Big Sleep (1946)
The Avengers (1960s)
77 Sunset Strip (1958-1963);
Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish
Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those focused on sex and
corruption. Hollywood's classic film noir period is generally regarded
as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this
era is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has
roots in German Expressionist cinematography, while many of the
prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from
the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United
States during the Depression.

Science fiction film is a film genre that uses
speculative, science-based depictions of imaginary
phenomena such as extra-terrestrial lifeforms, alien
worlds, and time travel, often along with technological
elements such as futuristic spacecraft, robots, or
other technologies. Science fiction films have often
been used to provide social commentary on political
or social issues, and to explore philosophical issues,
such as "what makes us human."

Blade Runner (1982)
A Trip to the Moon (1902)

The war film is a film genre concerned with warfare, usually
about naval, air or land battles, sometimes focusing instead on
prisoners of war, covert operations, military training or other
related subjects. Sometimes they focus on daily military or
civilian life in wartime without depicting battles. Their stories may
be fiction, based on history, docudrama or occasionally
biographical.
The term anti-war film is sometimes used to describe films
which bring to the viewer the pain and horror of war.

The Western is an American genre in literature and film.
Westerns are art works – films, literature, television and radio
shows, sculpture (particularly that by Frederic Remington),
and paintings – devoted to telling stories set in the 19th
Century American West (and sometimes Mexico, Canada or
the Australian Outback, during the same time period), with
the setting occasionally portrayed in a romanticised light.
While the Western has been popular throughout the history
of movies, it has decreased in prominence since the late
1970s.

Musical
Action films, or movies, are a film genre, where
action sequences, such as fighting, stunts, car
chases or explosions, take precedence over
elements like characterisation or complex plotting.
The action typically involves individual efforts on
the part of the hero, as contrasted with most war
films. The genre is closely linked with the thriller
and adventure film genres.
Under Siege (1992)
Air Force One (1997

The Adventure film is a film genre which has been a
popular one in the history of cinema.
Although the genre is not clearly defined, adventure films
are usually set in the past or sometimes in a fantasy world,
and often involve swordfighting or swashbuckling. Unlike the
modern action film, which often takes place in a city, with the
hero battling drug cartels or terrorists, there is an element of
romanticism attached to the adventure genre.

A comedy film is a film laced with humor
or that may seek to provoke laughter from
the audience. Along with drama, horror and
science fiction, comedy is one of the most
common film genres.

A drama film is a film that depends mostly on indepth character development, interaction, and
highly emotional themes. In a good drama film, the
audience are able to experience what other
characters are feeling and identify with someone.
This genre could be especially useful by challenging
the ignorance from stereotypes or any other overly
simplistic generalisations by bringing it down to a
more personal and complex level. As well, such
movies could also be therapeutic by showing how
characters cope with their problems, challenges, or
issues, and to the extent the viewer can identify with
the characters with his or her own world.
This film genre can be contrasted with an action film
which relies on fast-paced action and develops
characters sparsely.
Fantasy films are films with fantastic themes, usually
involving magic, supernatural events, make-believe
creatures, or exotic fantasy worlds. The genre is
considered to be distinct from science fiction film and
horror film, although the genres do overlap.
Harry Potter
Eragon
Wizards (1977)
The Chronicles of Narnia
Nanny McPhee
Films from the horror genre are designed to elicit
fright, fear, terror, disgust or horror from viewers. In
horror film plots, evil forces, events, or characters,
sometimes of supernatural origin, intrude into the
everyday world. Horror film characters include
vampires, zombies, monsters, serial killers, and a
range of other fear-inspiring characters.
Dracula,
Frankenstein
The Mummy
The Wolf Man
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Mystery film is a sub-genre of the more general category
of crime film. It focuses on the efforts of the Detective,
private investigator or amateur sleuth to solve the
mysterious circumstances of a crime by means of clues,
investigation, and clever deduction. The successful
mystery film often conceals the identity of the perpetrator
until late in the story, then adds an element of suspense
during the apprehension of the suspect.

While most films have some aspect of romance between
characters (at least as a subplot,) a romance film can be
loosely defined as any film in which the central plot (the
premise of the story) revolves around the romantic
involvement of the story's protagonists.
Another prerequisite is that the film have a happy ending
(or at least bittersweet) and many would argue that no film
with a sad ending may be correctly defined as "romance;"
however, this second prerequisite is admittedly disputable
and many screenwriters and directors will push the
boundaries of the genre in this aspect.
Sleepless in Seattle
Love Story
Random Harvest
Bridget Jones's Diary
While You Were Sleeping
The thriller is a broad genre of literature, film, and
television. It includes numerous, often overlapping
sub-genres.
Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent
action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the
plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains.
Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings, and
cliffhangers are used extensively.
The Count of Monte Cristo
The Thirty-Nine Steps
Heart of Darkness
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

The musical film is a film genre in which several
songs sung by the characters are interwoven into
the narrative. The songs are used to advance the
plot or develop the film's characters. A subgenre of
the musical film is the musical comedy, which
includes a strong element of humour as well as the
usual music, dancing and storyline.

Children's film — films for young children; as opposed
to a family film, no special effort is made to make the
film attractive for other audiences.
Family film — intended to be attractive for people of all
ages and suitable for viewing by a young audience.
Examples of this are Disney films.
Adult film — intended to be viewed only by an adult
audience, content may include violence, disturbing
themes, obscene language, or explicit sexual behavior.
A children's film is a film for young children. As
opposed to a family film, no special effort is made to
make the film attractive for other audiences. The film
may or may not be about children.
Typically, live action children's films are designed to
make it appear to children that other children can save
the world or fight crime. These films tend to involve
bumbling and incompetent adults as their enemies.
Although most films tend to "bend the rules of reality",
this applies even more for children's films. They often
contain elements of magic or fantasy: things
improbable or impossible in real life.
A family film is a film genre that, like a children's
film, is suitable for young children, but with the
difference that a family film has been carefully
written, directed, cast and acted so that it will appeal
to all members of a typical family (or if not typical, at
least representing the cultural ideal):
Father
Mother
Teens
Small children
To meet these contradictory requirements, producers
sometimes look for scripts whose plots depict
problems that all these types of people might identify
with.
