Are there any genres that blend better than others?

So, I’ve been thinking about how some movie genres mix better than others. For example, sci-fi and horror seem to naturally work together, but I’ve seen some weird combos, like rom-com/action that just didn’t click. What do you guys think? Are there certain genres that are always a good match, and others that should just stay in their own lane? Would love to hear any examples of crazy genre mashups you thought worked (or didn’t work at all)!

It's interesting how some movie genres blend better than others! Sci-fi and horror make a great pair since they both explore the unknown, creating thrilling experiences. Movies like *Alien* showcase this mix really well. However, some combos, like rom-com and action, can feel forced, as seen in films that struggle to balance the humor and excitement. Ultimately, the best mixes find a way to harmonize their elements without losing their unique charm. What are some genre mashups you've enjoyed or found odd?

For sure! Sci-fi and horror are like peanut butter and jelly, while rom-com/action can feel like a bad blind date; I mean, who thought “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” was a good idea? Some mashups, like “Shaun of the Dead,” nailed the blend, but others are just a recipe for cinematic disaster!
