Filmsite has selected a Top 100 Films (see further below) comprised of the top 5 films for each of 20 different genres (including some sub-genres and other categories). The links directly below are to Filmsite's essays on Film Genres.
The unranked 100+ film selections (below in chronological order in each category) are based upon popularity, critical reviews and awards, box-office appeal, memorable films with the best screenplays (characters and stories), and classic status in the genre (or sub-genre) category. Some films could have appeared in more than one list or category of genre, due to their hybrid nature, but each film was only allowed one listing. See also Filmsite's other detailed version of Top
Films By Genre, Greatest
Films - By Genre Type, The
Guinness Book of Film's outdated Top
100 Films by Genre Type and AFI's somewhat dubious The
Top 10 Films in 10 Genres. |
