I don't think any of Michael Moore's movies are drama documentaries in the sense you describe. I'm not sure why IMDb lists them as drama.

Thanks Peter. I checked the wikipedia again and based on the characteristics I have edited the intro. I believe that covers the Michael Moore's movies.

Does it look ok?

I'm not sure. It's hard to define such things.

Are you referring to the Wikipedia page called Docudrama? I'm not sure this matches the list, which seems to be based on films that IMDb lists as drama and documentary.

I was referring to that page, but as you said it is hard to define it accurately. The examples on the wiki page includes non-documentary titles as well.

So, I have changed the details as per IMDb genre help page. If this is still not enough, I will remove it altogether.

I tagged it thusly as it has the same storytelling/documentary format as Waltz with Bashir.

FYI. It's now listing drama in its drama section. I had to make a special thread with two other requests that were also denied with the Data Issues and Policy Discussion forum.

I've tried to find Hoop Dreams for years, think about it, it was 1994, the year of Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Lion King etc. and yet it was Hoop Dreams that both Ebert and Siskel listed at #1.
