Heh, one of my personal "best" movies is Plan 9 from Outer Space... With that, here's my trick to find books/movies/music in more specific (or somewhat peculiar) genres: look for reviews or go shopping for the ones you already like/have. IMDB has related movies/suggestions as well as Amazon (read the comments also, there might be more mentioned.)... sometimes you find other gems along the same line you were thinking. Look at the production company, director, author and see whatever else they are attributed to. One place I can recommend to finding a good movie blind is looking through the "Criterion Collection" videos and DVDs (Hulu has many of em, but not all), which is like the ultra-fan special edition of classic films, most of those are notable for some reason or other. Lastly there have been several threads here on great books movies, do some searching and you will find em. For music (besides amazon) - if you like particular genres check out some streaming radio stations - i.e. for the jazz fan Play Misty For Me radio or Luxuria... There's a streaming station for just about any interest. Shoutcast is a good place to start hunting for streaming stations.
