Child ghost horror (The Changeling, The Devil's Backbone, The Others etc.)

Slow, scifi love stories (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Solaris, maybe even Dark City (not really a love story, but very romantic))

Comic book movies

Quirky romantic comedies (Secretary, A Room with a View. Strangely, I hate most romantic comedies and find them neither funny nor romantic, but a certain type, usually the type that doesn't do that well at the box office, appeals to me.)
