EVERY film fits in some "genre" including the OP's "straight or realistic genre". Film_ GENRE per Wiki
The mystery of the meaning of this thread deepens.

It's simply about enjoyment... drama types of movies just tend to be more interesting then straight comedies and the like. sure, you can find some quality straight comedies but they tend to be few and far between. if you count those movies that combine a solid balance of drama/comedy blend, that raises the comedy count some but not all that much.
so I don't really think it's about bias... it's just the simple truth on what I said above and apparently I am not the only one who feels that way. because I ultimately rate movies based on how much I like watching them and the further they get away from that the lower the score. I don't rate movies lower just because of whatever genre they are in, it's always about how much I enjoy watching a movie. movies I enjoy as much as I can get a 10/10 and then it scales back from there. a 6/10 is my minimum score for a Thumbs Up(re-watch worthy). there are some quality comedies out there, but like I was saying, they tend to be minimal in comparison to Drama types of movies.
I like to laugh at movies here and there but ones that have the strongest all around emotion/feeling tend to be more serious. because I always say that movies ultimately come back to some sort of feeling/emotional response they give the viewer on what determines whether they stand out or not.

Thus every film is genre film. Thus making the term redundant. Just as I suspected.

Anyway, I don't want to get into a debate about other stuff. If you disagree with the premise or don't know what I'm talking about, move along.

Rudeness and attitude are strong in you today... moving along as ordered . I explained that in the first post. If you don't know what I'm talking about or you disagre with it, then presumably you're not going to have a theory for it . . . which is all I'm interested in. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I'm not sure what the reason is for the bias. So I was hoping someone else who has thought about it for some time might have a theory about it. I mean, "I don't know what you're talking about and/or I don't agree with you, but let me think about it for forty-five seconds, despite never having thought about it before, despite having no experiences with it to go on, and I'll come up with a plausible theory" might be how a lot of folks basically think/operate on the Internet, but the idea of that is kind of stupid.

BATouttaheckI completely agree with you. but whether that particular emotional response/feeling makes it stand out to a high degree or not varies from person to person. for me, while I do like to laugh here and there, in general it's going to be quite a bit more difficult for a comedy type of movie, especially a straight comedy, to stand out to a high degree for me. like drama types of movies are capable of 10/10 status where as I have yet to see ANY type of comedy score higher than a solid 8/10 for me. but don't get me wrong a 'solid 8/10' makes a movie within my Top 56 movies straight up, so obviously I think pretty highly of it, but when comparing it to my 9/10's and 10/10's, they don't quite evoke a emotional response from me to a degree that movies top out at.

The mystery of the meaning of this thread deepens. Yes but quite often films that fall into what may be considered more low-brow genres (action, horror, western, sci-fi) and sub-genres (martial arts, zombie) are referred to as "genre films". It possibly goes back to auteur-theoy vs genre-theory. At it's most basic level auteur-theory seeks to find similarites in films by the same director, regardless of genre. Genre-theory discusses similarites in films of the same genre regardless of director.

Fox in the Snow Now THAT's ^^^^^ a post that explains what is actually being talked about. Had the OP posted an introduction like that, an actual discussion could have followed. Thanks for that concise description.
