A propos of the ongoing film list thing, I recalled today a comment made by a sci-fi nut friend of mine years ago "You have to see it. It's the classic giant ant movie!"
The same sentence with appropriate substitutions could well come from No Good Boyo concerning lesbian vampire films or me about cult comedy films (note that I restrained myself from citing This Is Spinal Tap as being too obvious. I also fought down the urge to include Irma Vep or anything by Tony "look at me I'm a Gyppo" Gatlif, on the grounds that they would be giving away too much information about myself. A deficiency I've just corrected, in the psychological equivalent of shooting myself in the foot. Ah well...)
My daughter's favourite film is Whale Rider, which hits the entertainment needs of her demographic with bulls-eye accuracy.

I suspect that the modern world belongs to specialists plowing a single furrow, and I applaud your giant ant afficianado for choosing a good road and sticking to it. The title of Gatlif's film Latcho Drom also translates as "good road", I believe, and he certainly hasn't deviated too much from that path. But what does Irma Vep tell us about you?!
Maggie...
There's an entire genre of women in catsuit films, many involving Joan Severance - the American Amanda Donohoe d'un certain age. But Irma Vep has so much more.
As for giant ants, Them! stands alone. I'd also recommend the delightful Mant if you've not seen it.
Gadjo bor - it tells you that I have a weakness for Oriental women in catsuits. And where did Mrs Byard's velour/lycra catsuit go after I married her, I might ask? Such is the crushing unfairness of life...
