I am trying to find a rather comprehensive source of words to describe movies, books and tv shows
- words like romance, horror, adventure, sci fi, etc. I have googled and found some sits but they
were lacking considerably. There also was some contradiction in the words they used, so I just
tossed the sites and moved on.

I wouldn't throw out those sources just because of a few contradictions. Those contradictions may
reflect actual usage. For example, fantasy books are often listed as science fiction in English.
Of course it's better to use the word "fantasy", but it's useful to know that fact.

You might find browsing Douban helpful. The tags are all user generated so they can be a bit
messy. Example: 另类, 前卫.

Incidentally, the Last Temptation of Christ is listed on Verycd under disaster movies. Which in a
way, I suppose, it was.
