Genre/Not-Genre

Standard

Would you consider “road movies” a genre? I find it hard to reconcile movies as disparate as FANDANGO, WIZARD OF OZ, and THE SURE THING as a single genre.

I’m thinking it should be considered a setting, but Westerns are a genre that are defined by its setting.

What about movies set in a courtroom?

I’m curious to hear what people think about this.
