Which movie got you hooked on your favorite genre of film?

TRON: Legacy. LOVED the way this movie could take you to a whole nother world that's all around you.

Raiders of the Lost Ark got me hooked on action/adventure, but I like other kinds of movies, too. The old Hitchcock movies were on TV when I was a kid, and they may have gotten me hooked on mysteries and weird stuff.

The Abominable Dr.Phibes. Vincent Price. Saw it when I was like 5 or 6. Hooked ever sense.

Indie films for me a single favorite Idunno

[i]Goodfellas[/i] got me hooked on crime drama, esp mafia movies.

CHARLIE CHAN IN EGYPT

Back to the Future

The Godfather

Chucky

I actually have a lot of favorite genres.

For Japanese horror it was Battle Royale, a classic.
Cyberpunk it was Strange Days (the one with Juliette Lewis.)

The list can go on lol..

The book The Lathe of Heaven and the subsequent 1980 movie really got me into Sci Fi.
