This article needs some TLC and fresh eyes

I have tagged this article for OR and needing more RS for verification. It has gone mostly unedited for years and IMO become quite sad. Jump in and let's edit the F out of it. —አቤል ዳዊት^?(Janweh64) (talk) 07:38, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is my proposed re-write

[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anon, a mouse... (talk • contribs) 4:49, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

I deleted the text that "Anon, a mouse" had pasted here because all the formatting displayed wrong, and I included a permalink to their sandbox which properly displays the correct formatting. Secundus Zephyrus (talk) 16:38, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the rewrite is a really great start, and I especially like the lead section because it's clear and easy to understand. However I do think there is a lot of good information on the current page, and I think that whole sections from the current article could be added to your rewrite (e.g. "History" "Pure and hybrid" "Categorization"), even though they as well need to be significantly edited. Also, maybe some information from the article's current lead section can be incorporated into other sections of the new draft? -Secundus Zephyrus (talk) 17:18, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possible misplacement

Shouldn't Thriller be placed separately outside of Drama? Anubhab030119 (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Film Genre article has issues

On the template it said that the article referenced in the title had multiple issues. I am a child, and I probably should not be doing this, but can someone older fix it please? 101.98.24.246 (talk) 04:04, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
