http://en.wikipedia.org/ ? :o)

Seriously, when it comes to category, you might want to set up a top
category and have your main categories attached to it.

Something like:

[[Category:Index]]
 \--> [[Category:Comics]]
 \--> [[Category:Movies]]
   \--> [[Category:Thriller Movie]]
   \--> [[Category:Romance Movie]]
 \--> [[Category:Video Games]]

You can use templates to easily maintain several articles wich shares
the same content, for example a table containing informations about the
movies like year of production, director, main actors ..

It's really up to you :o)
