Of those, my favorites,

1. Western
2. Musicals
3. War

Those graphs are sending me a message

Would have been better (for me at least) if the left graph % was the same for all graphs. Anyway, what is the difference between "thriller" and "action"?

I like documentaries and am surprise that it has been kind of recent that they have gotten more popular.

I also like musicals, and they are not very popular. Surprise also that there were musicals in the 1910's (silent movie time).

I wasn’t even aware that they still made comedies any more.

Yeah, but I think today's "comedies" have a different meaning than what you're thinking of.

Help me think of something that isn't mainly bathroom jokes and vulgar language and stupid stuff that isn't funny.
