A difference between fiction and drama is themanner in which they are used, pluswhen and where.

What is the difference between a drama and a movie?

In the broadest sense Drama includes all the theatrical arts- including cinema ( Movies) and television fiction. Properly it is serious fare as opposed to comedy. The Greeks invented Drama as we know it- in those days there was either Tragedy or Comedy- and sad and comic masks as trade badges. The modern concept of ( comes out OK) serious drama is in part a product of the Movie industry- did not exist in classical dramas which were either tragedy or comedy.

Types of genre?

There is romance, realistic fiction, mystery/suspense, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, fairy tales, myths, and poetry.
