Abstract
Movies are classified by genre. Evidence has emerged over time that some genres tend to be consistently more successful than others. The popularity of specific genres, however, can often be subject to changes in public tastes and cultural fashions. It is important that a movie can be clearly placed in terms of its genre to enable audiences to determine what kind of movie it is and also how good it is of its type. Movies must stay true to their genres and not contain elements that for audiences seem to make a bad fit given the type of story they are expecting.
