What Else Is There To Watch?

The way I see it for the world of cinema, you can choose how you want to be entertained, you choose how you want the film to effect you

But finding they film in the cesspool of genres where the cinema isn’t categorized, that makes it tough to make the gamble. You might feel the same as I do that the genres needed to be more specific.

Its just endless scrolling with your family or your partner, believe me I’ve been there, done that too many times. I got tired of the same genres, so I made my own

You might find some familiar titles on here that’ll jog your memory that you wanted to watch it. You may have seen the title and thought, “I’m gonna watch it”. But the genres aren’t very specific to find that something to watch. I made something like that and I call it “the movie menu”

My friends know me as the selector for movies, but when my chance comes up I tend to draw a blank, and thus, I made the movie menu. So when my friends come over, they look at the selections, go to the one selection that intrigues them and we have found our movie.

Let me take you through a new list of genres, couple things to address before you see my cinema genre list that will give you some ideas for what to watch.

There are some movie titles I used for multiple genres, for two reasons,

1. most of the titles came from my shelf to be shared for how it fits into a genre, and because movies have endless possibilities for how you can be entertained.

2. I found that some of these movies had more than what they were made to be originally viewed as.

You don't have to see this list as something only for the cinema lovers, it's a wide plethora of anything that would be interesting to you. This was just a fun list to make to broaden the ideas for what can be watched.

It's up to you how you see this list and if the title of the movie within my genres appeals to you, like I said, you choose how you want to be entertained.

Before I send you onto this list, there is one more thing to address. Most of these films will have a side synopsis next to it just to explain why it is a part of this list. Most of these films, I can't explain because it just needs to be watched. The rest is up to you to know why it's listed in the genre.

This creation of the sub genres of the sub genres will continue, I do plan on making a TV show version of this list. I hope that this list has helped out that tedious search for something interesting to watch or finally giving a chance to that one movie you debated on before you saw it categorized differently. As the timeless saying goes, it's all about perspective. I hope that my perspective of the idea to see beyond the original intent of the movie's purpose to see something else like I have.

Some of these films on this list I have created commentary articles for on my Vocal page. After you've done some watching of some of these films, you might be surprised to find one, two or ten articles about the movie you just watched.
