I never understood the appeal of them. What is the purpose of them? who sits down to watch them and walks away thinking,"Well, that was enjoyable." What do you mean by classical natural disaster movies? Natural disaster films as in Armageddon, deep impact, volcano, day after tomorrow, twister etc San Andreas came out a few years ago. I think Geostorm just came out this year.

Sorry, no, keep spoof movies (though more and more there's been things wrong like the Disaster Movie/Vampire Sucks people using spoofs of trailers, though in Vampires Suck an actual Twilight story spoof was used..personally I like ANY spoof films.)

Anything with homophobia, gay slurs and gay jokes. We have had enough of those to last us a lifetime.

Natural disaster movies used to require an all-star cast. That was one of the draws of it.
Will Fred Astaire sell the useless real estate?
Will Leslie Nielsen avoid the tidal wave?
Will Walter Matthau fall over drunk?
Geostorm's cast:
Oh yes, the mesmerizing star power of Adepero Oduye, Robert Sheehan and Zazie Beetz....

Any remake, they are just boring. And no more westerns that glorify the murders of native americans or any movies like that.

Not all movies are meant to be enjoyed. Some are meant to depress you and/or shock/disturb you. Imo a movie that shocks/disturbs can be just as satisfying as a movie that entertains.

That's the problem I had with Dwayne Johnson's San Andreas. With one blink-and-you-miss-it cameo by Kylie Minogue (I think) and only one character who's demise you were rooting for, it was much better to call it "The Rock Saves His Family" with a "special guest star" credit for Paul Giamatti.

Horny teen comedies with tons of titties. What was the last one? I don't even know. That's how you know they need to make more of them. Yeah! What happened with those? It seems like there hasn't really been any since the early 2010s. The last ones I remember are American Reunion and 21 and Over. Wonder why they are no longer made. Good choice, I agree. Either gangster or war films. Not forever though, just until there's a good idea for one. We've had too many of them.

Found footage. There's been way more bad than good.

I'll echo torture porn and found footage. I was starting to think the latter would never end.

Your argument only holds true if the torture/porn movie is made to inform and not tittify some sick idiot's baser nature.

Genres? None. There are no good or bad genres. It all depends on the execution. Same with sub-genres. However, sub-sub-genres are about very specific situations. Reading through this thread, a lot of users have mentioned sub-sub-genres. Off the top of my head, the sub-sub-genre that shouldn't make a comeback is "Nerds who get back at the evil popular students." It stopped being relevant 10-15 years ago, but I still it done from time to time. It's not uncool to like nerdy things anymore. One could argue that the movies of this sub-sub-genre have remained popular tp this day that students have seen them and learned from them. Sure, every high school still has a form of hierarchy, but students have to know that high school drama won't matter once they graduate (unless we're talking about true bullying). And they have to know that, if you're popular, it's because people like you, so how could you be a jerk? Those should make a comeback. The genre kind of died because the more mainstream spoofs were bad. Yeah! What happened with those? It seems like there hasn't really been any since the early 2010s. The last ones I remember are American Reunion and 21 and Over. Wonder why they are no longer made. I think it's because studios prefer to make PG-13 comedies to make more money. Sure, there are still plenty of R-rated comedies, but they're usually about adult characters. Movies like AMERICAN PIE are in theory targeted at teens, but they're not allowed to watch them.
