lengthy nattering about media subgenres; request for contributions!
Earlier today, I was watching a (surprisingly good) CineFix listicle about the narrator's favorite ridiculously specific film microgenres. So I threw one of my own while I was bored at work, figured I might as well share it.
I'm definitely keen on recommendations for further films that fit these subgenres, and I'm VERY keen to hear about your own favorite tiny, ultra-specific genres of media!

In webcomics there has emerged a genre I call "post-apocalypse ensemble": Dead Winter, Endtown, Bearmageddon.
And @troodon recently linked "Namesake" which I am grateful for because the genre of "serial where Wonderland, Oz, Neverland, etc. are all real in a serious shared multiverse, and you binge what there is of it and then forget the title and never try to find it again" has got to have at least 20 examples and most of the others aren't that good.

@zebratron2084 Visually nigh perfect movies which fall apart due to writing; Mortal Engines, Point Break, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Hellboy the Golden Army
Animated movies which SHOULD have been huge and weren't cause the studio never really hyped them; Iron Giant, Cats Don't Dance, Treasure Planet

I would watch more Color Filter Psychedelic Horror.

@anthracite I have so much of it. :O I should show you Berberian Sound Studio once we're settled-- it's got a lot of gorgeous fake-retro graphic design, a big Saul Bass love letter essentially.

VITAL DISCLAIMER: I like the above _genres_. I don't guarantee that any individual _film_ is on the list is any good!
And for the record, I made this disclaimer almost entirely because of The Number 23, which is godawful. :)
