That's interesting; I didn't know that. It's a fun movie for sure. No way I would put it on my own top 10 list but I respect the conviction of whoever did.

Musicals/Noir (or Crime)/War make sense to me. Sports feels more limited to me, but maybe that's because I'm not as interested in the (sub-)genre. Romance would work better for me.
