Taste of Cinema: 10 Great Movies That Deconstructed Their Genre

From Tasteofcinema:

"Genre theory in many ways can be illustrated as a series of blue prints, aimed at understanding the reasoning for categorization in narrative story-telling. In filmmaking, studying these outlines helps identify common themes used, and why they are persistently reimagined in certain modes of story-telling.

Some filmmakers will attempt to navigate around cliches in order to make their films stand-out within their respected genre. While others choose to embrace conventions fully in order to comment directly on the category of story-telling it has been sorted into. The audience is then allowed to reflect directly on the conventions of genre story-telling in order to deconstruct and explore it fully."
