I have some films they are not true documentary, but they are documentary. I will have like false/fake documentary:

- Forgotten Silver. (Peter Jackson rewrite the story of cinema and more...)   I put few time ago to a classe, and more than 3 people think that was true.
- State Confederates of America (Sececión war finish very diferent)
- The Dead of a President (False asesination of Bush)
- F of Fake (Orson Welles created a true documentary about false documentary of false falsificator who mades false falsifications )        

They are not alwais comedy, but I think I must not put they like a Documentary, are similar narration tipe, but they are not true.

This is definately what the customisable local genres were designed for.

If we all wanted our own little quirky genres in the main database genre list, we'd have about 5000 to choose from and be arguing all day on what suits each dvd better.

If you need an explanation on how to use custom local genres please shout

I don't even want to think about the contribution wars we could get with Michael Moore, Ben Stein, etc if this was added as a public genre.

Mockumentary to me would be like... Spinal Tap

But I like to use a Tag I created called DocuDrama..
Some of my titles in no particular order look like thus:
Pianist
Roots
Fly Away Home
Beyond The Sea
Right Stuff
Born Free
Walk the Line
All the Presidents Men
Raging Bull
Titanic
Life and Death of Peter Sellers
Schlindlers List
Apollo 13
Patton
Seabiscuit
JFK
Amadeus
Great Escape
Grace of My Heart

As you can see.., fiction mixed with fact ..
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

I just thought of three that aren't listed on the Wiki link, and they are:

Rubber Johnny
BabaKiueria
Alive in Joburg (available on Stash 16* DVD, or video streaming sites, but hopefully will be  a bonus feature when District 9 gets released).

* Stash
Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!)

I was just looking through the documentaries in my collection, and spotted A Short Film About John Bolton erroneously labelled as a documentary. It's interesting viewing, particularly for fans of vampires.

That's the problem. When you used filtres, is title is tagged like fiction+documentary will be listed like documentary... but you must used tagged documentary, because used the same narrative elements.

But I don't like mokumentaries put only like fiction, because they are diferent of tipical fiction films, because they used documentary elements for narration, they are more than only fiction, and not all are funny.

For me, Mockumentary is a one gener independent of others, a gener few peoples know that it be.
