Question

Types of films

Action – These types of movies are high octane, big budget movies

that show many physical stunts. If there is heroism, fights involving

guns, swords or karate moves, horseback action or any destructive

forces of nature, your keyword is Action.
Adventure-They are similar to action films but the action may be less

and more weight will be given to experiences.

Comedies-They are loved by young and old for the feel good content.

A comedy can be based on innocent humor, exaggerations, facial expressions or downright crude jokes.

Crime and Gangster Films- Such films trace the lives of fictional and

true criminals, gangs or mobsters.
Drama films- They are sensible movies with a strong plot. Dramas

depict true stories or real-like situations. The character development is

note-worthy.
Epics/ Historical films–An epic involves elements like war, romance

and adventure. The sets are created carefully to reflect the time period. Historical movies tend to pay homage to a legend or hero.
Horror- You either love them or hate them. These films expose our fears and give rise to nightmares. For some, horror films provide catharsis but

others can barely sit through a movie, due to the violence and gory

scenes.
Musicals/ Dance films–These are entertaining films that are based on

full scale scores or song and dance. They can either be delightful, light-hearted films for the while family or contain a dark aspect (Sweeney

Todd) that is explored through music.
War films-These are very true to real life and often depict the waste of

war. Attention is given to acts of heroism, the human spirit,

psychological damage to soldiers and the pain of families waiting at

home.
