The movies Katie-Bar-The-Door and I wind up watching over and over again are The Thin Man, The Maltese Falcon, The Thing From Another World and Rio Bravo -- easy-going pace, men in danger but not so much danger they can't wisecrack nonstop and a smart, interesting, no nonsense woman. In fact, I'd say Katie likes those movies even more than I do, if such a thing is possible.
I do like films that deal with film making, those are great. Otherwise my favourites genres are probably Crime, Dark Comedy, Samurai and pretty much anything from the Hollywood New Wave.
Films involving dysfunctional families and makeshift families: Magnolia, The Ice Storm, Boogie Nights, Six Degrees of Separation, The Squid and the Whale, Micmacs, etc.
Time Travel. Ever since I first saw Back To The Future as a kid I've loved time travel. Can't get enough of it. Even the bad movies are worth watching.
I really enjoy psychological thriller type movies - films that have to do with the mind. Some of my favorites include Fight Club, Memento, The Matrix, and most recently - Inception. Great question!
LOVE music films...CONTROL, THE BLUES BROTHERS, MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL, ONCE...love 'em!

I used to enjoy romantic comedies but with the crap actors doing comedies these days I prefer dramas, biopics or thrillers.
