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.
Post-2010s list, what should the next countdown be?
In the Horror countdown the eligibility rule was: if the movie was tagged Horror anywhere on the IMDB page then the movie was eligible. So yes that included Plot Summary tags & Genre tags, as long as it's tagged somewhere on the IMDB page.
Actual the Horror countdown started out with the host deciding what was and wasn't horror...which caused a big fight that ended only when the host agreed to use Horror tags on IMDB pages. I think the tag idea solves a lot of hassles for the host and stops a lot of potential fights.

some movies on there that didn't even belong only because it goes with the element of horror or because there's a plot keyword tag that says it's horror O_O.
Heck if we re did the horror countdown, I wouldn't mind since I missed the last one, I think the countdown needed more care imo.
Yea there's gonna be some fights when restrictions are lifted but seriously if some schmuck wants to pass in a ballot of a movie that's clearly a thriller movie and not even close to horror then it should not be eligible. If everyone wants to move on from Horror I understand too.

Also bear in mind that Citizen is talking about the 2019 Horror List, not the original one. There are two MoFo Horror Lists (and we are so not redoing it again anytime soon).

Which films exactly don't belong? If anything, I think if anything there are some glaring omissions that were excluded due to the rigid eligibility parameters.

There were a few other movies but since IMDB has the horror tag, I guess we can give them a pass.
That's the list that I'm talking about, the 2019 one.

Movies like Perfect Blue when IMDB has it under Animation, Crime and Drama, Letterboxd had it under Thriller and Animation.

Though I have to say, I agree with the inclusion of Perfect Blue and probably voted for it.

Not sure what happened there, perhaps the tags have been edited since 2019? The Horror Countdown Voting thread states "If the movie is tagged HORROR on IMDb, it is eligible for vote on the countdown. If the movie is not tagged HORROR on IMDB, it is not eligible for vote."

What I was trying to say is the best method for determining movie qualification for a genre countdown is the method that causes the least amount of problems. Of course that decision is up to the host and Yoda.

I know there are a lot of sequels, but most of them are terrible. Absolutely everybody complains about how prevalent and generally awful and uninspired sequels are. Why on earth would we want to make a list celebrating and cataloging incessant, cash-grabbing mediocrity?!? Just to get to the ten or fifteen that don't suck and everybody already knows and agrees on?
Sounds like a good reason to do a list of the good ones....not just the bad ones but also the ugly ones.
While the top ten is fairly obvious (Aliens, Blade Runner 2049, Silence of the Lambs, The Godfather Part II, Terminator 2 Judgement Day, Toy Story III, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, The Dark Knight, Avengers Endgame, Dawn of the Dead, Goldfinger, and Empire Strikes Back)

I'd like your guys input about doing: smaller and simultaneous countdowns, so that we could produce more 'focused' genre list.
The reasons I mention that is as we drill further down the choices of genres the remaining choices won't have broad support, but are still worthy of being done and will have supporters....and...as people start wanting to redo some of the existing list, that will then reduce the chances that some of these genre countdowns ever get done.
I could see two genre countdowns at the same time, it means more work for Yoda so he would have to green light it. But it would be a way to produce more defined genre countdowns.

I couldn't hate that idea anymore to be honest. I think eventually every genre will be represented if will continue the back and forth pattern. I feel like some lists deserve re-dos but others there seems to be no real reason to do all over again. Let the people as a whole decide what they want.
If you do something smaller I feel it's a slight to the countdown. The action countdown is what comes to my mind right away.

For not wanting to invite a nightmare, another comic book movies countdown?
When I did the original one, it was for movies that were based originally on comics, tabletop novels, graphic novels, comic strips and picture books like Addams Family and Where The Wild Things Are were eligible... but Unbreakable and Super (2010) for example weren't eligible.
Just a thought, considering there's literally hundreds more comic book movies to choose from today than there were back when the original one took place.
The headache would be what constitutes "comic book movie" if you go from the parameters I set on the original list.

Maybe you can consider Medieval movies too. Also, I support noir,best picture (nominations maybe), war, animation or comic reboot and LGBTQ would be nice actually but I don't think I've seen enough so most probably I can't participate
Yeah, I'd rather do best picture nominees than winners.

For all of the bitching and moaning people do about how awful and irrelevant the Oscars are their choices mirror this site's A LOT. Since they are already widely and routinely recognized why would we need to make a separate list?

If we reboot an already countdown, I suggest to be fair that we also do a genre countdown that hasn't been done at the same time....OR do a reboot countdown during the watch period of a genre countdown.

The problem with rebooting already done countdowns is that means other countdowns won't get done and people who have been waiting for countdowns like musical or romance, etc won't get a chance.

The 90s list is a decade old this year and I noticed only about 20 or so current posters participated in that edition, newer posters different results, but that would be in the fall. This current one could crime or action maybe.
