Huh

Ummm, a lot of these intersect. Do these charts take that into consideration?

thrillers going up? I had the feeling they peaked in the 80s and 90s. what kind of thrillers do we have nowadays? Shit like The Informant is the last one I can think of.

Horror is the biggest reddit genre. You know someone is a soimouth when he is a horror fan.

>>211634680 (OP)
this doesn't show popularity, it shows studio production.

>graph starts at 1910
>supposedly there were some musicals made around that time before completely disappearing until the invention of sound
Where the fuck are those supposed musicals from before the invention of sound?

I bet they put in Edutainment garbage in there. Compare a documentary from the 70 & 80s with today's history channel garbage. It's worlds apart.

The 20s was when they invented films with synchronised sound, but even as far back as 1900 you could make a silent film and record the audio on a phonograph, print out the film and record and try and play them at the same time, there's loads of very early short films with sound as a result

interesting. do you know of any of the musicals this graph might be referring to? I'm interested in checking them out now. I just assumed the graph was wrong

>>211635476
This is the data it used for the numbers, all musicals from 1910 to 1919:

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?release_date=1910-01-01,1919-12-31&genres=musical

And that YouTube video I linked is an example of one that still exists (unfortunately most early films are lost because the physical film was highly flammable).

You mean like that documentary about lemmings where the director pushed them over the hill to die and since then people think they commit suicide?

Megan 2 and the other movie about a killer sex doll the other movie about a woman growing on the back of another woman, the other movie of a killer clown.

>>211634680 (OP)
we need more horror documentaries

>>211634680 (OP)
Nice scale, retard

>>211635695
that was done by Disney kikes in 1958.

This makes me sad, I love musicals... singing in the rain, tommy, jesus christ superstar, the blues brothers, west side story... now there's this trend of casting actors to sing, with obvious results. Chicago sucked, Les Mis probably sucked, moulin rouge etc.

Hey, how about we hire SINGERS to sing in our musical??

>>211634780
it should only have one data point, in 1982

>>211635842
im assuming the rise of music videos made them totally irrelevant despite the genre being more than just music and dancing

>>211635695
don't care, it inspired real kino

such a strange world

>both games involve watching NPCs die hilariously
not strange at all

>>211636274
yeah strange wasn't the right word

What happened in 1929 that made everyone momentarily hate fantasy?

Comedies have plunged, so I don't know what's up with those graphs.

>>211635842
>Les Mis probably
It's pre good though, people only tease Russell Crowe for his singing but it's not that bad
Musicals always be lowkey goofy

>>211636485
Broad (straight) comedies have, but there's loads of romcoms and action comedies and horror comedies so the dip isn't very noticeable.

>>211635842
this guy is gay

>>211634712
thank you. the amount of people who swallow up graphs without questioning the methodology or context or anything is crazy.

Musicals and Westerns have collapsed. Maybe Hollywood and Nashville should team up and cast some country music stars in action-adventure films to jump start both genres simultaneously.

>>211634680 (OP)
Comedy isn’t accurate. It should look similar to westerns but with the drop off shifted farther to the right.

>>211634680 (OP)
We need more mystery movies, and to recognise mystery as its own genre that doesn't necessarily contain horror/thriller/crime elements.

>every year over 100 “horror” movies come out and not a single one is scary or even tries to be

>>211634680 (OP)
I refuse to believe crime is not only that low but keeps going down.
