Overrepresented / Underrepresented Genres In Your Blu-ray Collection

[evilive]

I actually just came across the 'statistics' feature on this site and thought it was cool to see the statistics on my blu-ray collection . So what's everyone's over and under in your collection?

My collection's pretty small, but here's what I got so far:

Strongly overrepresented: War
Overrepresented: Crime, History, Horror, Period, Supernatural, Thriller
Underrepresented: Comedy, Fantasy, Martial arts, Sport
Strongly underrepresented: Animation, Anime, Biography, Comic book, Coming of age, Documentary, Erotic, Family, Imaginary, Music, Musical, Nature, Other, Romance, Short

[Foggy]

Strongly overrepresented: Coming of age, Dark humor, Film-Noir, Heist, Psychological thriller, Surreal
Overrepresented: Crime, Erotic, Mystery, Period, Teen
Underrepresented: Animation, Family, Other, War
Strongly underrepresented: Anime, Documentary, Music, Musical, Nature, Short

I think mine sort of capture my personality nicely. A bit introvert and immature but cynical and imaginative.

Strongly overrepresented: Comic book, Supernatural
Overrepresented: Action, Adventure, Horror, Martial arts, Sci-Fi, Thriller
Underrepresented: Comedy, Drama, Family, Melodrama, War
Strongly underrepresented: Animation, Anime, Biography, Coming of age, Dark humor, Documentary, Epic, Erotic, Film-Noir, Foreign, History, Music, Musical, Nature, Other, Romance, Short, Sport, Surreal

Weird that "comic book" is at the top. That doesn't appear to be the case from just looking at my collection on the shelf.

It'a probably the Batman and Marvel titles.

Seems I need to work on my erotic nature gap.

None of that is particularly surprising. Actually, maybe "Heist" in the overrepresented area might be a bit surprising. Otherwise, it all sounds right.

[Abby is Q]

Strongly overrepresented: Dark humor, Horror, Psychological thriller, Supernatural
Overrepresented: Coming of age, Musical, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Teen
Underrepresented: Biography, Erotic, Film-Noir, Heist, History, Martial arts, Melodrama, Romance, Sport, Surreal
Strongly underrepresented: Anime, Documentary, Music, Nature

Surprised that romance and melodrama are considered underrepresented, while apparently I have an overrepresentation of musicals and teen movies (which normally deal with romance and melodrama).

Otherwise, this looks right. I have a little bit of everything in my collection except the ones strongly underrepresented.

Actually, that may have been me. But the thread died, so no reason not to start another one.

[Strapped4Cash]

Here's my Blu-ray stats:

Strongly overrepresented: Comic book, Teen
Overrepresented: Coming of age, Documentary, Epic, Fantasy, Period, Sci-Fi
Underrepresented: Dark humor, Psychological thriller, Sport
Strongly underrepresented: Animation, Anime, Erotic, Family, Foreign, Holiday, Music, Musical, Other, Short, Supernatural

Which I like to contrast with my DVD collection info:

Strongly overrepresented: Coming of age, Teen
Overrepresented: Comedy, Drama, Erotic, Mystery, Romance, Sport
Underrepresented: Animation, Anime, Family, Martial arts, Music, Surreal
Strongly underrepresented: Documentary, Foreign, Nature, Other, Short

At least some of it makes sense in context, where I was more likely to wait and/or upgrade to BD certain categories like Documentary, Epic, Fantasy, Sci-Fi and comic book then I was some of the others.
