Question of the Week – hard question, but I guess Giallo, with the exception of 'Amer', 'The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears' and 'Berberian Sound Studio', and probably (jungle) Cannibal movies?

Genres that suffered horribly? I'm gonna go with fantasy for starters: Those Hobbit movies weren't all that good The actors did what they could with what they were given, but what they got didn't amount to much (especially in the cases of Aidan Turner & Evangeline Lily) No worse romance than forced romance.
