to watch for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Drama all the way. A well crafted drama is some of the best cinema out there. No genre draws me in more and makes me think more about it when’s it’s over.

Drama has always confused me a little bit as a genre because to me, every film is a drama.

Crime films are dramas, thrillers are dramas, Sci-Fi's are dramas etc.

I choose science fiction.

I’ve never looked at it that way. Sure on the outside you can say everything has drama, but Sci-fi is just that to me. I don’t watch 2001 and feel I’m watching a drama. Same thing with a thriller which is pretty easy to define as keep as its own. When I say drama I am talking Green Book, Shawshank Redemption, 99 Homes, There Will Be Blood, Manchester by the Sea, etc.... I’m not exactly sure what else I should call those besides a drama.

While I agree that there are a lot of lines blurred, I consider a pure drama to be a film focused on a character's (or a person's life) and nothing more. How else can one categorize films like Citizen Kane?
