I can watch dark films anytime, be it horror, thriller, black comedies or film noir. I like dark stories, especially with plot twists. Films that are a little bizarre and artistic (Lynch is a good example), I would also through into this category.
Plot is very important though, I can't get through a film if it doesn't have a substantial plot or character development. I spent way too much of my youth watching bad movies on late-night cable and there are just so many great films out there that I don't want to waste time on the bad ones anymore. I will watch a movie if I like the trailer though, but I will stay away if the reviews are really bad.
I'm also a fan of foreign films and other obscure films. I get some sort of weird satisfaction watching something that the mainstream knows nothing about.
Sometimes mood does affect what I watch and I also really love comedies too. Most of these movies are from the 80's when I grew up and some of the movies that have come out in recent years as well. There are a few old ones that grace my collection though,
Some Like It Hot is a good example.
I do like to collect DVDs as well though I try to limit my collection to things that I will view many times and ultimately end up memorizing most of the movie lines, which I repeat when viewing the film again much to my husbands annoyance. :p
Dramas and Chick Flicks are definitely my least favorite genres. I tend to stay away from these movies because I tend to find them boring and uninteresting.

As do I. I am an only child and had to learn how to entertain myself growing up, so I would immerse myself in a good movie/book.
