The following are examples of Orbis subject headings for books about (and sometimes examples of) films of various genres and types.

• Be aware that books about genres (etc) will receive these subject terms, but the movies themselves might not -- practices are irregular.
• Notice that unlike other topics on cinema, many of these subject headings use the term films, not motion pictures.
• "Genre" is sometimes also used to cover series, such as Star Wars, and films focused on particular characters, like James Bond.

A film genre isn't its theme or topic, but there may be overlap. SEE ALSO Themes, Subjects & Characters
