Extinct movie genres

Erotic Thriller



Times have changed, actors rarely get naked on screen anymore.

Beat-Em-Up Comedies



A genre made popular by Italian actors Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, spawning countless imitations. It was a 1970s thing and slowly died during the 1980s.

Can you think of other extinct movie genres?

You don't see too many musicals anymore. NOT that I'm complaining! Beyond the odd Busby Berkley and ROCK AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL, not a big fan of musicals.

what about those 70s 'government paranoia' type movies like 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR and MARATHON MAN... do they have a modern day equivalent?

There used to be a lot of movies where real people would interact with cartoon characters, but you don't see much of that anymore.
