(Can you tell I am a bit of a film snob?) - While quirky isn't a genre (genre generally describes a film that follows the rules of a certain kind of film, but doesn't mean that the film will suck. It simply means the film is designed to appeal to a specific audience, and provides this audience with certain basics. for ex. horror is a genre, but within the horror genre lies much room for originality, film noir is a genre, western is a genre, romantic comedy is a genre. Drama is not a genre, because almost any film is expected to have some sense of drama, whether it's tension, emotional, etc.) - Schools out, class, keep up with your assignments: reading Crotchety Old Man's blog, watching good films, and check out my blog and the hipsterdufus.com for more reviews.
