Re: The term 'genre movie'?
Just to throw my hat into the ring...
I've always been told it is more of fantasy, sci-fi or horror film/story.
I've also heard it in regards to thrillers or action films. I don't think it's a term of poor quality. Just something that doesn't cater to a wide fan base like a blended genre film (like, Action/Comedy might cater to comedy fans and action fans, whereas an Action film really only caters to action fans.)
This brings up an interesting point... the term "genre" could mean that it's a story that focuses more on the genre then on the cast.
I still think that the term "genre" applies to Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Horror films.
