According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a genre
is a “category of artistic, musical, or literary composition
characterized by a particular style, form, or content.” We would add the
idea that nearly any form of media (written, auditory, or visual) can
be categorized by genres. It’s just one of many different ways that a
person can discuss books, television programming, short stories, movies,
and more. Over the next few weeks, we thought it would be fun to look
at over a dozen different film genres (ranging from animated to
westerns), briefly defining certain characteristics common to any film
in that genre, and then listing some of our favorite movies from the
given category. We’d love to have your input, as well! Share with others
what your favorite films are from each genre are and why. We look
forward to being introduced to new-to-us titles, or being reacquainted
with film ideas we had forgotten!

14,200,000 results. 14,200,000! That’s how many results my computer
pulled up when I searched for an answer to the question, “What are the
advantages of listening to music?” Needless to say, I didn’t research
all of them. Honestly, I got to page three and gave up. Some sites were
totally irrelevant to my goal. Others were promoting styles of music
with which we disagree (no, I don’t believe there can be Christian rap
that is more effective than any other style of music in elevating my
heart to worship God). And some sites were beyond my four-year-degree
comprehension. But most of the relevant results upheld the theories many
of us already have regarding music listening.
