This document discusses several subgenres of drama films. Romantic drama focuses on elements of romantic love. Melodrama appeals to heightened emotions through crisis-filled plots involving relationships, families, tragedy, or hardship. Comedy-drama balances humor and serious content equally. Psychodrama is an action method used in psychotherapy. Docudrama dramatizes real events but uses actors rather than real people. Horror drama focuses on characters dealing with struggles in a horror setting. Historical drama depicts dramatic events from history. Crime drama and legal drama involve themes of law enforcement and the legal system.

. . Drama – sub genres Romantic drama: a sub-type of dramatic film which dwells on the elements of romantic love Melodrama: a sub-type of drama films that uses plots that appeal to the heightened emotions of the audience. Melodramatic plots often deal with "crises of human emotion, failed romance or friendship, strained familial situations, tragedy, illness, neuroses, or emotional and physical hardship." Film critics sometimes use the term "pejoratively to connote an unrealistic, pathos-filled, camp tale of romance or domestic situations with stereotypical characters (often including a central female character) that would directly appeal to feminine audiences."[3] Also called "women's movies", "weepies", tearjerkers, or "chick flicks". If they are targeted to a male audience, then they are called "guy cry" films. Comedy-drama: a film in which there is an equal or nearly equal balance of humor and serious content Psychodrama: an action method, often used as a psychotherapy. Docudrama: the difference between a docudrama and a documentary is that in a documentary it uses real people to describe history or current events; in a docudrama it uses professionally trained actors to play the roles in the current event that is "dramatized" a bit. Not to be confused with docufiction. Horror drama: a film that focuses on imperiled characters dealing with realistic emotional struggles, often involving dysfunctional family relations, in a horror setting. The film's horror elements often serve as a backdrop to an unraveling dramatic plot.  Historical drama (epic) (including War drama): films that focus on dramatic events in history. Crime drama and legal drama: character development based on themes involving criminals, law enforcement and the legal system.
