Leaning towards movies that feature the more philosophical, sociological, or horror aspects of war than the standard blockbuster.

I generally don't like romcoms, because the comedy detracts from the movie IMO

Romance

Mostly Sci-Fi, but included some things that may not technically fit. There's also some Sci-Fi stuff not on this list, but I tried to include my favorite stuff.

Philosophical conflicts / Moral Dilemmas 

Time travel, warped memories, hallucinations, and/or dreams (or the possibility of one of those). Basically anything twilight zoney (plus some fun time travel stuff).

Mind / reality bendy

I'm somewhat particular with horror. I don't like gore, and prefer psychological thrillers, suspense, and mysteries.
