[Mr. Grady]

Thanks for responding. On the HDC Sub-Genres 100 list, there are a few films that I was surprised to see there (some were listed at the end as honorable mentions under sub-groups): Blue Velvet, A Clockwork Orange, Memento, The Manchurian Candidate, Schindler's List, Diary of Anne Frank, Jurassic Park, King Kong, Deliverance, and maybe one or two others. With all of these, I can see the argument for categorizing them as Horror, simply because of the nature of the content being disturbing to most people, or having some kind of biological "monster" involved. I think what I am curious about is where the line is drawn- for example, there is a sub-category titled "Human Atrocity"- would a great war picture fit in? Would a film such as Full Metal Jacket have been put into consideration for that sub-genre?

Keep in mind that my intention is not to introduce myself by jumping into an argument, but just to get a bead on how wide the net is cast- clearly the horror genre is larger than average film fans might assume. It's really a debate over semantics, but is nonetheless interesting.
