Movies are subdivided into different genres. One category can be subdivided into multiple subcategories.
From the lists given by different movie outfits and Wikipedia, I will enumerate some:
1. Action/Adventure - these two genres often come side by side. When I go to shops that offer movies for rent (though these shops are almost extinct) or visits streaming/download sites on the net; this categorization is very popular. Personally, I prefer watching movies of this genre because it keeps my interest until the last part of the show. The adrenaline rush factor is the core attraction.
2. Comedy - humorous in nature. It uses actual experiences of people that embarrassed them and became a laughing stock. Some satire can be injected to the plot to make it more entertaining to watch.
3. Crime/Mystery - another interchanged genres that keep their audience on the edge of their seats. Solving a puzzling occurrence is very engaging and mind-blowing.
4. Drama - heavy for the heart. Sadness is such a burden and yet, many people watch these movies. If you want some realization and contemplation, watching drama is recommended.
5. Fantasy - magical and supernatural. The rich mind of the writer makes the impossible, possible. The stress and chaos of reality makes us turn to fantasy movies whenever we have the chance.
6. Historical - a narrative story of a real person or event. This genre is not very popular as observed though it pays to know in-depth recounts of people and incident.
7. Horror - Ghost stories, monsters and devils are the gist of the film. Vampires and other scary characters add twist to the story lines. It revolves around the "Fear" a human experiences as manifested by the petrifying creatures that show up in a blink of an eye and accompanied by disturbing sound effects.
8. Romance - stories about lovers, regardless of gender preference. Shows and narrates events (struggles and triumphs) of the characters. The relationship can be a success or a failure.
9. Science fiction - sometimes linked to fantasy but it explains how worlds function. It may be about the earth, other parts of our galaxy or the whole universe that humans still want to explore.
10. Suspense/Thriller - a combination of excitement and fear. Action, adventure, mystery, horror and sometimes drama rolled into one. Common plots are disasters, psycho killers/crime and technology misuse.
