Do you had other genres for documentaries? |

| Posted: | | | | This isn't a topic about whether or not to submit a profile with another genre along with Documentary (I won't), but am curious if others do. |

| Posted: | | | | Rarely, but sometimes I do. Mostly "Music", for documentaries like Ron Howard's 'Eight Days a Week', a documentary on The Beatles' touring years. In such a case, "Documentary" and "Music" both seem very appropriate. |

| Posted: | | | | I think any documentary about any war that it would be sensible to include the War Genre. |

| Posted: | | | | I agree with sometiimes. And I for one see no reason to submit them on those that it works for. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | Sometimes, like Sports, Music or War, if the documentary deals with such topics. I have a number that are marked Television, but that isn't really a genre and I wish there was another field for that information.
I do, however, HATE seeing "Special Interest" as a companion genre and remove it locally every time. It's such a vague term, and could realistically apply to every film out there. Personally, I wish that it was defined in the rules as "anything that doesn't fit in another genre." | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. -- Thorin Oakenshield |

| Posted: | | | | Sometimes for me as well, in combination with Music, War or occasionally Sports. Television may come in as well, although I agree that in fact this is not a genre and should have a different field. |

| Posted: | | | | In profiler I have all of them as documentaries and - if availabe - with adds like war, music, sports and so on. But when my collection - and the number of documentaries in it - was groing I had to find a way to separate them, at least in a list.
So parallel to profiler I got all my movies in Excel. This had a load of reasons from average price to counting the running time and so on, and this way I simply gave the documentaries another column to show their differences like: Animals, History, War, Film & TV, Astronomy and so on.
To transfer this ideo into profiler you could simply use tags! If you then want to filter, you even don't need the genre-filter anymore but could simply use the tags to just filter all movie- or war-docus |
