Rand, Walter and Brook—I have not lost my mind, nor have I had too much gin (my only weakness)—I’m planning on Bride of Frankenstein being in the 30s SiFi category.

 

[Jim_K]

Good lord!

After going back and perusing this thread I have to say I found myself amused & puzzled with some of the choices for the action/adventure category.

Not surprising.

Here's some help for those who need it.

Action Films have tremendous impact, continuous high energy, lots of stunts, possibly extended chase scenes, rescues, battles, fights, escapes, non-stop motion, spectacular rhythm and pacing, and adventurous heroes - all designed for pure audience escapism with the action sequences at the core of the film.

Adventure Films are exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales. Adventure films are very similar to the action film genre, in that they are designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the film viewer. The viewer can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, and situations that confront the main characters, actual historical figures or protagonists.

yeesh.

Help me out Jim. Which ones don’t fit?

Naturally there are a good many films that fall in multiple categories, but I did not notice ones that I thought were wrong. There has already been a discussion as to whether films like The Red Shoes properly fit into the ‘musical’ category (I was considering it as a possibility myself and the discussion persuaded me that it did not fit). So I’m quite interested in your comment—what should change?
