Which would be fine if everything was easily defined.  Which genre does
Alien belong to, Horror or SF?  How about Aliens: SF or action/adventure?
Is The Blues Brothers a comedy or a musical?  Is The World 
According To Garp a comedy or a drama?  How about The Sting?  The
Purple Rose of Cairo?  Hannah and Her Sisters?  Crimes and Misdemeanors?
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest?  Etc etc etc.
