Here are some popular movie genres, visually boiled down to their basic components. I especially love the last element of the Alien Invasion Movie Recipe!
It’s interesting to see how many of my favorite films follow these recipes to a tee; I guess it just goes to show that formulas for success exist for a reason.
Does your favorite movie fall under one of these genres? Does it fit the bill?

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.

















haha. Those are cute. I don’t think any of my Top 10 movies follow any of those formulas though. But that’s because I usually like unconventional movies with twists: where the guy and girl don’t get together or the enemy is not the enemy you thought. Thanks for sharing this.
I also LOLed at the Alien one. So true, I think you could even simplify Hollywood further with the plot formulas. Learned about it in film studies at Hopkins.
Super adorable depictions. That egg… haha!
