And what about Bollywood? I know I am always banging on about it, but surely that's a genre in its own right?

Kind of but then within Bollywood you get all of these genres so it's more of a language thing, what do you think?

Perhaps! I'm not qualified in it either!!!

I think it was phunkygal who did something film related in her degree, or was it film? :shifty: I forgot. :|

Perhaps she would know.

Init though, I totally agree!

I've never even seen a documentary film - can't say I'd want to though!
March of the Penguins and Man on Wire were both documentary films and they were both very good!

Too generous, offering us three votes, Spanner. Thrillers, dramas and action movies do it for me, but since I've joined this site, I'm up for most genres, as you know. :D

I like a strong narrative but preferably violence-free and set in the present day. Not really confined to one genre but Andrews has summed it up pretty well with "thrillers, action and drama.". Comedy is welcome but not too broad and it doesn't have to be a comic film, just a film with some humour, especially if it relieves tension or suspense.
