Huge movie buff here.  In addition to classic horror and sci-fi, I like a LOT of other stuff. 

Marx Brothers,  Abbott & Costello, 3 Stooges.  W.C. Fields.  Bergen & McCarthy. Tarzan.  007 (though I'll pass on most of the Moore entries).  Exploitation/Drive-in schlock -- esp. if Robert Thom worked on the screenplay ("Wild in the Streets," "Bloody Mama," "Death Race 2000") . Hitchcock. Kubrick. Early DePalma (esp. "Phantom of the Paradise").  Harryhausen.  Romero's zombie flicks. GODZILLA!

Russ Meyer's movies ("Faster Pussycat...") and other "oddball" stuff such as "Forbidden Zone."  Anything in 3-D!

"Adventures of Robin Hood." Film Noir/crime -- esp. Bogart and Cagney (White Heat!).  "Kiss Me Deadly." A lot of Westerns -- "The Searchers," "Ride the High Country," "Magnificent Seven," all the Leone/Eastwood flicks -- and many other "spaghetti westerns." 

Martial arts/Samurai films (Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, "Lone Wolf and Cub!")  John Woo's Hong Kong flicks and many other HK films.  I seem to like a lot of "mockumentaries" -- "Zelig," "Spinal Tap," "A Mighty Wind," etc.   I may be the only person who loves the movie version of "Cannery Row. "  I know I'm the only one who's favorite Spielberg movie is "1941."

Early Disney features "Pinocchio" especially (my first movie, at age five).  Miyazaki ("Spirited Away").  Pixar/Brad Bird. I can always be lured into watching "Treasure of the Sierra Madre," "Zulu," "Raising Arizona," "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou," "Willie Wonka (the original)," "Wizard of Oz," "A Hard Days Night," "The Man Who Would Be King,"or "Local Hero."

I like a good bio -- "Man of a Thousand Faces," Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Beyond the Sea," "Walk the Line," Notorious Bettie Page." Vintage 30s musicals -- esp. with performers like Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, or a dance number by the amazing Nicholas brothers.  I could go on, but  you've got to stop somwhere....

Seems like we all have a lot in common on these lists!

  Along with the spy movies, I also like super-hero movies ( Iron man, X-Men, F.F., ect.) and  Goldie Hawn movies.  Put me down for the Three Stooges as well, don't know how I forgot about them.   Any movie about Sinbad the sailor.

A lot of 60's TV...Gilligan's Island, The Avengers, Addams Family, I Dream of Jeannie, and others...70's TV also, but to a lesser degree...earlier stuff too, like Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, Life of Riley, Honeymooners.

Musicals from the 40's through 60's (but also some 70's)...Rodgers and Hammerstein stuff, and others.  Certain disco-based musicals like The Apple, etc.

Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon.  Fun movie.

Educational films of all kinds, the cheesier the better.

Beautiful moving, shifting colors!
