My Top 10 favorite highly specific genres of movies

  1. Movies about weird people falling in love (Science of Sleep, Eagle vs. Shark, Silver Linings Playbook, etc.)
  2. Coming of age movies about weird/outcast teens (Rushmore, Ghost World, Juno, etc.)
  3. Movies that are just one long deep conversation (My dinner with Andre, Before Sunrise-trilogy, etc.)
  4. Psychological thrillers (bonus if “erotic” and/or from the 90s)
  5. Girly teen movies (80s/90s/00s) 
  6. Rom Coms (especially the 90s ones)
  7. Extremely fucked up movies dealing with uncomfortable subjects like rape, pedophilia or self-harm/suicide in a kind of way that doesn’t feel inauthentic or like trauma porn (think Todd Solondz movies)
  8. Atypical horror that is more focused on fucking you up psychologically rather than with gore (Ari Aster movies, Jordan Peele movies, etc.)
  9. Movies about dysfunctional families that are both devastating and hopeful (think Little Miss Sunshine, Kajillionaire, etc.)
  10. Documentaries about artists or musicians

Honorable Mentions: Screwball comedies from the 30s/40s, many different documentary sub-genres, mockumentaries, christmas movies, movies about queer people that are actually made by queer people, movies about dreamers (they’re almost always autistic-coded lol), classic murder mystery movies, stoner films, movies about music nerds,
