The most prominent genres seen in modern films are western, crime, war, comedy, science fiction.
Genre means "kind" or "type"and played a crucial role in literary theory before film. After the introduction of film, genres helped differentiate between films. Hollywood especially took advantage of the genres films have developed. Genres provide a framework for production decisions, making it convenient to follow certain stereotypes with the genre. Developing a film based on a certain genres allows the filmmaker to predict the turnover. The audience is more likely to be interested in a film that is associated with a genre they already enjoy. Genres are also important to film theory, contributing to the idea of appealing rituals and ideologies.
