Curious...favorite genre'...and...

[hifiHigh]

Just thinking out loud here - what's your favorite genre' and can you list 10 of them?

For me I think it's Horror.
Off the top of my head I'd say:

The original Carrie.
The Grudge.
Hellraiser.
The Prince of Darkness.
The Omen.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Hollowman
100 Feet
The Seventh Seal
Silent Hill

[Groot]

Fantasy:

The Lord of The Rings
The Hobbit
Labyrinth
The Princess Bride
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
Groundhog Day
Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Wizard of Oz
Legend
Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone

Some genre/films over-lap and could be considered fantas like Star Wars, MCU, POTC, etc. I tried to stick with those most commonly associated with fantasy first.

[Mandalorian]

My favorite genre is Sci-Fi.

District 9
Children of Men
Jurassic Park
Inception
Alien
Avatar
2001: A Space Odyssey
Planet of the Apes
Terminator
12 Monkeys

This isn't a top 10, but it's 10 that I love nonetheless.

[DanTheMan]

That's tough. It's between animation and crime/thriller, but I'll go with the latter:

Se7en
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Prisoners
Heat
Gone Girl
Goodfellas
L.A. Confidential
Leon: The Professional (if that counts)
Mystic River
Nightcrawler
Sin City (if Leon doesn't count)

No particular order.

I like both comedies and horror movies. But since no one said Comedies. I'll choose that. This will include Comedies and Romantic Comedies. These are in no certain order.

1. Silver Linings Playbook (I'm counting it as a comedy. Plenty of funny moments)
2. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Step Brothers, Superbad, Pineapple Express, Anchorman, 40 year Old Virgin, Knocked up, Bridemaids and Trainwreck. (Basically anything that Judd Apatow has his name on it. Whether it be writing, directing or producing)
3. The Hangover Trilogy
4. There's Something About Mary
5. 21/22 Jump Street (I'm counting those as 1. )
6. TED
7. Dumb and Dumber
8. The American Pie Series 1-4 (I'm also counting those as one. I know. I'm cheating a lot. )
9. Take Me Home Tonight
10. Love Actually

Also a list of honorable mentions.

Begin Again
Grandma's Boy

Adventure land

Horrible Bosses
She's Out Of My League

I know most of those are newer. But what I could think at the moment.

Me, too; I'm a very indecisive person in many ways.
