Mine is a bit niche. Male anti hero protagonist revenge movies. Usually takes place in england. Always has a heavy criminal element, a good bit of violence and the lead usually dies in the end. Recent favorites include "Bull" "Avengment" and "Villan". Not sure if this specific type of movie is a genre or not but there's plenty of them.

Japanese monster fighting movies. Godzillas especially but it needs to be guys in rubber suits doing stunts shot in slow motion. If you have that, I'm there. No matter how bad the acting no matter how bad the story, no matter how horrendous the dub. Give me big rubber monsters fighting and I'm there.

no matter how horrendous the dub

You willingly watch dubbed movies!? Now that's the first answer here for which I really understand the guilt.

Some movies are genuinely more fun in the dub. Not better tho

I like both. But a ridiculous dub can add a lot of fun to an already ridculous movie.IE All Monsters Attack

Great answer! Kaiju movies are awesome.
