The Movie Genres Recipe [Infographic]

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!

There’s only a week and a half left until The Dark Knight Rises hits the theaters! Is anyone else as excited as I am??!!!
