         Main Definitions

1. 
   movie genres |n| are categories that classify films by style, theme, or tone—such as action, comedy,
   horror, drama, and science fiction. These categories help define a film’s narrative structure, setting, and audience expectations, with many modern movies blending multiple genres to create complex stories. (From Google IA. May 5, 2026.)
2. film genre |n| a stylistic or thematic category for motion pictures based on similarities either in the narrative elements, aesthetic approach, or the emotional response to the film. Drawing heavily from the theories of literary-genre criticism, film genres are usually delineated by "conventions, iconography, settings, narratives, characters and actors". One can also classify films by the tone, theme/topic, mood, format, target audience, or budget. These characteristics are most evident in genre films, which are "commercial feature films [that], through repetition and variation, tell familiar stories with familiar characters and familiar situations" in a given genre.
