Live Polls: IMDb Poll Board Favorite Genre Movies

@Maxence_G​ Spy?

@Scholle2008​ 

North by Northwest

@Maxence_G​ Superhero movie, mafia movie and horror comedy?

@Scholle2008​ 

Superhero: The Return of Captain Invincible (1983) I prefer a bad film to an insipid film.

Mafia: The Godfather (1972) I wish I could also pick Part II

Horror Comedy: Call Girl of Cthulhu (2014) Same as my reason for The Return of Captain Invincible. I do not want to promote insipid mainstream Hollywood films.

@Jessica​ Thanks

@Scholle2008​ 

Jessica is admin, so she will guide you very good.

@Scholle2008​

@Breumaster​ Spy?

I guess there were only 23 genres registered on IMDb. (It's 26 genres!)

TV-Series would be one of them, doesn't match with the term movies,

TV-Show wouldn't either.

Mafia isn't a single genre on IMDb, it's crime. Also Horror-Comedy isn't listet as genre.

It's Horror or comedy, or both, but then it's in two genres.

@Breumaster​ But there's already a poll about horror movies and I love good horror comedies

@Breumaster​ 

I just searched for the listed genres on IMDb: Genres.

You can see it there.

Action

Comedy

Family

History

Mystery

Sci-Fi (Science Fiction)

War

Adventure

Crime

Fantasy

Horror

News

Sport

Western

Animation

Documentary

Film-Noir

Music

Reality-TV

Talk Show

Biograpy

Drama

Game-Show

Musical

Romance

Thriller

I would prefer to keep the single characteristics of genre to simplify it. Mixing it could make it complicated, while it's very clear to take the given. So if you have horror and comedy, you can pick one movie twice. Once in horror and once in comedy. But I wouldn't mix it. Because someone could say: "I love that war-thriller or I especially like that horror-romance.  I think that's somehow clear, isn't it?

Btw.: My music-choice would be Amadeus.

@Breumaster​ yes, I'll do it loke you said meaning choose a movie for two lists

@Breumaster​ Spy movie?

@Scholle2008​ 

Thank you for asking. I guess the spy movies would be listed under action, thriller, or something like that. But there is no clear genre "spy" or "spy movie". You took 'Goldfinger' as a spy-movie ... great choice by the way. It is listed in the genres action adventure and thriller. Just look at the tags under the movie poster on it's IMDb-site and you can read the genres it is tagged to.

@Scholle2008​ 

I guess you want to do a poll for each genre? Like BonafideBOSS did for each letter of the alphabet?

Then you can take one movie on two of your lists, right. Maybe you do one list for horror and one list for comedy, you can put your horror-comedy on both lists, sure. But then both genres are occupied with this movie, except you define special rules like e.g. "2 movies per user per genre", or something like that. :D

@Jessica​ 

Oh yes, that's better. I'll take that.

Fantasy: Pans Labyrinth

@Breumaster​

Exactly that!

@Breumaster​ 

You picked a different movie for Mystery in Paok's suggestion., so please post there if you want to change it:

@Jessica​ 

Thank you, Jessica. You are my conscience. Without your intervention I would instantly turn to an uncsrupulous scoundrel. ;) ... or I just didn't remember and picked one title spontaneously. ;D

Yeah, Jess is right.

I'll pick Hereditary.

@Breumaster​ Hi! May I ask? How do you make movie titles clickable in your comments?

​ You're missing a straight on horror list as well.

And musical poll exists already.

@riverotter​ Maxence_G chose Apocalypse Now and The Searchers, you have to choose other movies for War and Western

@riverotter​ You forgot the genres Spy, Superhero and Horror Comedy

@riverotter​ The Magnificent Seven from 1960 or 2016?

@Scholle2008​ is this a serious question?

1960

@Scholle2008​ updated

@Jessica​ 

Again: There is no genre "Spy" at IMDb, a fact that would have been thrown into my face, when I entered the poll board. But if I would add a spy movie to the suggestions mine would be: The Sum of All Fears

@Jessica​ 

... p.s.: same for "Mafia".

@Jessica​ 

... wouldn't it be time to add a genre "Superheroes"? It's a rush since 15 years!

@Breumaster​ 

... wouldn't it be time to add a genre "Superheroes"? It's a rush since 15 years!

That reminded me of this poll: Should ''Superhero Movie'' Be a Genre on IMDb?

@Jessica​ 

The backlink of the poll is broken.

@Breumaster​ 

>The backlink of the poll is broken.

That is because the author deleted his account. 

@NYVKE​ 

>The user who made it probably stirred too much sh** and got him or herself ba**ed.

He did nothing like that. He left the poll board for personal reasons.

@Jessica  . deleting my idle speculation. You can edit your post accordingly

@Jessica​ 

Done

@Scholle2008​ 

You haven't added the discussion links. 

@Scholle2008​ 

Bump.

@Jessica​ 

Done

@NYVKE​ 

That hurts, so many bad and overrated movies like Joker, Fight Club, Pearl Harbor and The Day after Tomorrow 

@Scholle2008​ 

🤬

@NYVKE​ 

😁 NNoRa_FoKa chose already Fight Club

@Scholle2008​ 

@NoRa has good taste.

I'll take Ex Machina (2014) as my Drama pick.

@riverotter​ 

There is already a live poll about Musicals: IMDb Poll Board Favorite Musicals

@jaf_ismael​ 

War for the Planet of the Apes isn't a war movie, please choose another one

and put Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in Adventure category
