No. Resist the temptation to create a landslide of endless new sub-categories. In fact I agree that the director category is rather useless on this site. Initially it made sense when we were curious as to how many 'gun' movies certain action directors made, but then there are so many general DIRECTORS who are not action or cop movie or thriller or war movie style directors who just happen to have guns in their movies. For one I could care less about how many Stephen Soderbergh movies have guns in them because I know that Soderbergh is not a 'gun' director. Milius is a gun enthusiast, fine, but then Cameron or Bay are good at action sequences, but they truly don't give a rat's ass about guns.

I had this argument with new members a while ago and it always sticks its head up again , like the proverbial Hydra.

One thing I DO recommend is that we clarify the genres. We need to separate the various media in each category. For instance, if I'm looking for how many Zombie movies are listed, I type in zombie, I get ALL ZOMBIE related stuff, video games, anime, TV shows, etc. It renders the search useless.

Now if we have 'zombie movie' just like action movie, crime movie, thriller movie as well as 'zombie anime' or zombie Video game' or zombie Television show / Crime movie, Crime Anime, Crime Video Game, Crime Television show etc. I support that.
