Movies can be categorized into genres based on their narrative elements or the emotions they elicit in viewers. Some common movie genres described in the document are: action films which feature a heroic protagonist facing dangers and challenges through violence and feats of action; animation films produced through gradually changing drawings; comedy films designed to elicit laughter through humor and exaggeration; horror films which play on primal fears using themes of the macabre and supernatural; musical films where songs are incorporated into the narrative; mystery films focusing on solving crimes or problems; romance films depicting passionate romantic love stories; and science fiction films using speculative science concepts like alien lifeforms or futuristic technologies to explore philosophical issues.

1. MOVIES GENRES
A movie genre is a motion picture category based on similarities in either the narrative
elements or the emotional response to the film (namely, serious, comic, etc.). Most theories of
film genre are borrowed from literary genre criticism.
Actionfilm is a film genre in which the protagonist or protagonists end up in a seriesof challenges
that involve violence, close combat, physical featsand frantic chases.Actionfilms tend to feature
a resourceful hero struggling against incredible odds, which include life-threatening situations, a
villain, or a pursuit which generally concludes in victory for the hero.
Animation film produced by photographing a series of gradually changing drawings, etc, which
give the illusion of movement when the series is projected rapidly
Comedy is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on humour. These films are designed
to make the audience laugh through amusement and most often work by exaggerating
characteristics for humorous effect. Films in this style traditionally have a happy ending (black
comedy being an exception). One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent movies
were comedies, as slapstick comedy often relies on visual depictions, without requiring sound.
When sound films became more prevalent during the 1920s, comedy films took another swing,
as laughter could result from burlesque situations but also dialogue.
Horror is a film genre seeking to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on
the audience'sprimal fears.Inspired by literature from authors like Edgar Allan Poe,BramStoker,
and Mary Shelley, horror films have existed for more than a century. The macabre and
the supernatural are frequent themes, and may overlap with the fantasy, supernatural
fiction and thriller genres.
The musical film is a film genre in which songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the
narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing.
Mystery film is a genre of film that revolves around the solution of a problem or a crime. It
focuses on the efforts of the detective, private investigator or amateur sleuth to solve the
mysterious circumstances of an issue by means of clues, investigation, and clever deduction.
Romance films (or romance movies) are romantic love stories recorded in visual media for
broadcast in theatres and on cinema that focus on passion, emotion, and the affectionate romantic
involvement of the main characters and the journey that their genuinely strong, true and pure
romantic love takes them through dating, courtship or marriage.
Science fiction film (aka Sci-Fi movie) is a film genre that uses science fiction: speculative,
fictional science-based depictions of phenomena that are not fully accepted by mainstream
science, such as extra terrestrial lifeforms, alien worlds, extrasensory perception and time travel,
along with futuristic elements such as spacecraft, robots, cyborgs, interstellar travel or other
technologies. Science fiction films have often been used to focus on political or social, and to
explore philosophical issues like the human condition.
