Since we're into the whole genre updating business, could we please have "Classic" removed? I don't see how anyone should be able to judge a movie as a classic. To me, it seems that a movie made before 1980 is sure to get it and especially if it is B/W. Throw it out, it has no use!

I completely agree too. Weather or not a movie or a TV show is a "Classic" is very much a matter of subjective personal opinion. I don't think it is really a legitimate genre and so it should be removed.

David:

ALL Genre are subjective and in the eyes of the beholder. Ken added Classic from Day ONE of the program. I do not favor removing anything, he can add but don't remove.

And BTW David because the Genre and even the Ordering of genre is subjective is why we wrote the Rules for genre as we did.

Some of us David, find Classic to be useful as we do Television(also not a genre)

Isn't everything that is rated "G" also considered "Family" genre?

I doubt many kids have any interest in watching 'The Straight Story'.

I guess it all depends on what you think of as "kids." My three still were home when it came out and they loved it as much as I did.

Something for Movies about Countrys and continents

What do you mean? Disaster movies? Documentaries about nature?

It would be good to have an update from Ken on which avenue he feels he wishes to pursue with this, either increasing the number of genres available on the database, or making them all local settings?

Ken:

I've said that endlessly and repeatedly, it doesn't help.

There's almost no end to the number of possible genres, and for every requested genre there's someone who specifically doesn't want that one.  The tag system fits well for this since it is heirarchal and completely personal.

That's what I do for the ones I want that don't exist but tags cannot be displayed in the collection list and used to sort.....my two cents anyway....well since I already posted in this thread I'm up to 4 cents now
