My dad has a big collection of country / blues / folk stuff, that's mostly what he listens to. He's into some classic rock too, mostly stuff like Lynyrd Skynrd and CCR. He usually digs anything I play for him though, so he's open to new things.
My mother is weird because she has to have everything sound 'nice' or 'jolly', apparently, and always criticises me if I'm listening to Bad Brains, SY, Wu Tang, whatever- then praises me when I'm playing De La Soul, Pavement, Violent Femmes, etc. Generally she listens to shit like Whitesnake and Def Leppard, so I have really no idea of how to decode her taste.
As far as films go, my dad watches a bunch of arthouse stuff as well as more mainstream 'indie' films, Wes Anderson, Coen Bros, Michel Gondry, et al. My mother rarely watches films unless they're in black and white.
