Musicals have certainly slumped in popularity.

About the war movies: true--except for the current war... I wonder what that means?

Do you mean the war on drugs or the war on terror? ;)

It would be interesting to go through all the movies and classify them according to the war they are about. Unfortunately there are over 5000 of them. You might be able to automate it to some extent by looking at plot keywords scraped off the imdb, although older movies aren't keyworded so well.

Very interesting! Is this data of movies released in the United States only or world-wide?
