http://www.movietome.com/most_popular.html - According to this website I found out that the most popular film genre for 2010 is suspense/ thriller . I think that this particular film genre is the most popular due to the use of advanced technology such as the use of CGI , animation and voice overs that are made louder during the editing stages of that particular film . More people are being driven into suspense /thriller films as they provide the most form of entertainment to the young generation of today .
The rise of colour film technology in the 1930's bought the so called 'Golden age of Hollywood ' , with a popularity of film genres such as : gangster films, musicals, newspaper-reporting films, historical biopics, social-realism films, lighthearted screwball comedies, westerns and horror . I think that these particular film genres were popular because people during that era had just witnessed a new style of film making - colour technology therefore a rise in the number of people watching certain genres of film went up , people wanted to see something new that would bring some kind of entertainment . Such as horror , people wanted suspense in a film in order to keep their attention and bring a sense of excitement.
Due to the ongoing war , the film industry decided to launch films that were war based which makes sense seeing as a real life battle war happening during that time (1940's) .
