Filmographies by Genre / Type (Part 2)
Here are books and websites containing films categorised by genre (eg. Horror), themes within genres (eg. Vampires) or film type (eg. Animation or 3-D). More can be found on the previous page (A-M).
Other themes, which I haven't placed within a genre, are on the following page: Filmographies by Subject / Setting / Theme.
The majority of these books / websites contain filmographies or simple lists but other academic studies are also listed.
