Outter Join

Can someone look at my code and give me a little direction?

Like before, bring back the movie 'title' and genre 'name' but use the correct OUTER JOIN to bring back all movies, regardless of whether the 'genre_id' is set or not.

Code:

SELECT movies.title, genres.name FROM movies FULL OUTER JOIN genres ON movies.genre_id = genres.id;

I'm still pretty new at this, but I think a LEFT OUTER JOIN would work, as it would contain all the movie titles even if there wasn't a genre_id associated with every one of them.
