I had many movie coming with the genre "Ouest" it seems to me this is a bad translation
the correct genre would be "Western" instead of "Ouest" for french language.

Perhaps 'Adventure' would be a better fit. I believe adventure is closer to the meaning of quest than western.

it's 'ouest' not 'quest' ouest in french meaning WEST in english is a bad translation probably Those movies belong to a french genre that is named "Western" so "Ouest" should be renamed "Western"
Other solution that will tai a long time is remove the genre 'Ouest' manually 'Ouest' means nothing in the genre criteria
Hope i was clear enough, my native language is french not english and i like this kind of movies we call in France "Western" ;-)

Oh! That's interesting! Thanks for correcting me. I must have read your thread too quickly and assumed your O was Q.
