Genre

Every film is categorised into different genres in order to be suited for their target audience.
There are many genres such as:
- Action
- Adventure
- Comedy
- Crime and gangster
- Drama
- Historical/ Epics
- Horror
- Musical/Dance
-  Science Fiction
- War
- Westerns

The above genres are broad in order to fit every film that has been made but film catergotries are never precise.
