What's a movie (or series) that lies about its genre? (self.asklemmy)

Like, a horror movie that instead of scare you makes you laugh more than a comedy.

Also, thanks to the people that answer the post, this is the easiest way to find new series and movies to watch 😁

A lot of people think Star Wars is science - fiction. But it is fantasy.

Why do you think that? To me it's a science-fiction film because it seems to happen in the future

Science fiction usually tries to stick to realism to a degree in how it uses futuristic tech and ideas. George Lucas didn’t really try to do that. He always called it a space opera
