You're welcome.

They are types of films, not TV.
When you add a movie to IMDb, you have to select the "Title Type", then the "Sub-type":
In IMDb's form Adding a new title, you're first asked to pick a Type:

If you select "Film",
then you'll be also asked to specify the Sub-type
Sub-type

If you select Type: "Made for TV", instead, you'll be presented with different Sub-types:
