I like all genres except horror. Almost every horror films I've seen have been pretty lame and not scary at all. Exceptions that I really liked were Alien (first one) and Scream.
If you're going to make a poll of favorite genres, include others besides the usual action/comedy/horror/drama/romance.
You forgot Musicals, Silent Films, Westerns, and Mysteries.
You could include Screwball and Film Noir, but they are closely related to some other categories.
There are plenty of older films that I like (30s - 50s) but sometimes it's hard to look past the bad acting. Not that the acting itself is bad, but it's the wrong type of acting. When the "talking picture" first came out, people weren't used to acting in front of the camera. They were used to acting for the stage: loud, exaggerated movements and projected voices. So they carried that over into films.
Maybe it's just me.
Basically, if the movie has good story or style, I'll generally like it.
