Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Exactly the Gangster Groups Of Naughty Bad Men Movie I thought of when I got to the 20th century thing!

Mostly I was amazed that they had "animation" and "epic" as genres. @@
And "horror" isn't. Or doesn't make top 10 genres. Or something. @@@@@@@@@@@

The size of James Cameron's ego?

AFI defines "animated" as a genre in which the film's images are primarily created by computer or hand and the characters are voiced by actors.
AFI defines "sports" as a genre of films with protagonists who play athletics or other games of competition.

Un-snarkily for a moment, a lot of truly great European animation has little or no dialogue at all. And a hell of a lot more stylistic variety than the nothing but Disney/Pixar list that AFI came up with.
