I'm sort of wary of admitting to my answer because the movie genre I've watched most movies in is one I know many fellow answerMuggers really dislike. :)
horror (and I'd include suspense in there, too)
I don't watch horror movies so much anymore. But there are many horror movies that I admire.
A few come to mind at the moment:
"Psycho" "The Birds" "Let the Right One In" "Blow Out" "The Exorcist" "Love Object"
and the original "Carrie"

EDIT: I am writing this after I wrote the following. I did not intend my comment to be so long! Ha! :)
I so agree, Purpleface! A great movie on all counts for me. And the cast is simply superb to me. Whoever was the casting director chose with dead-on accuracy. Sissy Spacek as Carrie and Piper Laurie as her mother, wow! But truly the entire cast is so remarkable to me!
I first saw this movie when I was in high school. And, since then, I've sometimes thought of how accurate the feeling was in this movie for the high school experience. (No, events like this don't happen but it "felt" like high school.) And the scene from which this gif was taken - - breathtaking. And I may be mistaken, but I believe much of this scene in the movie, including this gif part, takes place in slow motion.
"Carrie" was the first novel I read by Stephen King. It remains my favorite of his -- besides maybe "The Regulators" (I think he wrote as 'Richard Bachman' for "The Regulators.") My point? To me, a good argument could be made that the original "Carrie," directed by Brian DePalma, is the best film adaptation of a Stephen King horror work. I delineate "horror" because I also think "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" are excellent films based on King works.
Oh, and I have no desire to see the remake of "Carrie," yet, Julianne Moore plays Carrie's mother in it. She would be the single reason for me to maybe watch it. Moore is phenomenal to me in anything I've seen her in.

I can't narrow it down to any one genre, because my tastes are too wide and varied. Here they are in no particular order:
8. Film noir 7. Action movies 6. Cop dramas 5. Westerns 4. Thrillers 3. Comedies 2. Dramatic (fictional) war movies 1. HistiricallyHistorically accurate war movies ~
