With books, I prefer non-fiction, particularly biographies, autobiographies and historical documentaries. With movies, I am pretty open. I'm just not a fan of the contemporary romance genre.
Books both informative and poetic. Books about nature.
As far as motion pictures I would say those that tell a poignant story true to life, uplifting generally, and with a wealth of detail.

Generally well written mind candy for books, Say Baldacci, Vince Flynn, Donna Leon (my favorite) in the fiction categories. Non-fiction depends on the topic Investing, and Biographies top the list
Movies anything but Horror, most Woody Allen or anything with Adam Sandler.
