Great idea.

Genres that might also be considered: Western, Epic, Documentary

Genre that should be combined with another: isn't Romantic Comedy (e.g. 500 Days of Summer) just a subgenre of Comedy and Romance (e.g. The Notebook) a subgenre of Drama?

Genres that shouldn't be combined: Horror (e.g. The Omen, Hostel) and Suspense/Thriller (e.g. North By Northwest, Basic Instinct)

That's what I was thinking earlier; I belive that romance is simple an element of a story rather than its own genre, and movies that are considered romantic could fall under other genres. Most romantic comedies are comedies in essence. Tragic romance stories could classify as dramas. Somebody mentioned "Casablanca" earlier, but I always considered that as a film-noir crime crama rather than pure romance.

I like the idea of a 64-movie tournament.

There are obviously problems deciding how to pick the 64.

My question would be what is the overall aim of this tournament? We already have an idea of what is popular from the threads already started by Romulus (although no direct competition between genres).

Are we trying to highlight movies that some of us haven't seen so that we can benefit by seeing them?

Are we trying to see what the consensus best movies are?

Are we looking for the consensus favorite movies?

If we go by popularity - stuff that everyone has seen - we will come up with a very familiar looking list. Nobody will really benefit from it other than seeing their favorites do well. Not that I am saying it would be a bad thing. I just think we should decide what we are aiming at as it would directly affect which 64 we start with.
