Liberty Valance. (Had to look this one up myself. )
Damn it! Fixed that too.
I want to add one more category: films that do not fall into a category, or are their own category. Like my favorite movie of all, as I posted in the favorite movies thread, “Night On Earth”. It’s the best film about people driving through the night in taxis in five different cities of the world. It’s also the only.
That would be a Documentary, wouldn’t it? Slice of Life?

ETA: Hmm, I quoted EinsteinsHund to get the template and it seems that even after I remove the quoting, it keeps the link,
An Anthology, then.
Yes, or an episodic movie about a very special subject. It’s one of a kind.
Anthology
Pulp Fiction. (Though it isn’t really, once you assemble the scenes in the proper order.)
I had the same issue when I copied the OP as a template and clicked “Reply” at the bottom of the thread. I had to cancel this, post anew and paste it. Some weird quirk of discourse.
