Automatically classify films into genres?

Has anyone come up with a post-processing script or other solution to auto-classify films by genre?

Take a film like "The Princess Bride", for example, it could be classified as Comedy/Romance/Fantasy

I would like it to be moved to Movies\Comedy\The Princess Bride, and symlinks created from that to Movies\Romance\The Princess Bride and Fantasy\The Princess Bride.

This would allow browsing by Genre for systems which do not support this directly (e.g. via PS3). Similar symlinks could allow browsing by year / director / actor.

Has anyone developed a system to do this?

For anyone interested in this - I am currently using a tweaked Perl script from http://hashbang0.com/2011/02/02/film-sorter-script/ which does the job, but am looking into Filebot as an alternative solution.
