Here's what I say...

Death metal - Evil Dead series

Power metal - Lord of the Rings

Prog metal - V for Vendetta

Traditional metal - Biker movies, war movies

Thrash metal - Macho tough guy action/martial arts movies

Goth metal - The Crow

Stoner metal - Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

I look forward to seeing what you guys think. Add different genres of metal if you want to as well.

"River's Edge" was a pretty good movie for thrashers.

Strange how The Prestige is mentioned for prog. My second choice for prog was The Illusionist, a movie also dealing with magicians, released at a similar time.

HOW ABOUT BLACK METAL?!

Black Metal - I'd say a movie somewhere along the lines of the Exorcist, or some kickass Viking movie, but the movie names escape me:P

Power Metal-The Beastmaster, Willow, Konan The Barbarian/Destroyer, and Clash Of The Titans
Death Metal-The Living Dead Movies, Friday The 13th, and Saw
Black Metal-The Exorsist, any number of satanic based movies, The 13th Warrior, and Pathfinder.
Goth Metal-The Howling, Dracula, Underworld, Queen Of The Damned, and Blade.
Progressive Metal-Dune and any number of Sci-Fi movies (for spacey music like Luca Turilli's Dreamquest and Ayreon); strange artsy fartsy films (Vanilla Sky, Twelve Monkeys, and Children Of Men)....Progressive metal is not an easy genre to pick a movie equivalent for so I will stop there.
Thrash-Mortal Combat, Fight Club, Steven Segal movies, Jean Claude Van Dam movies, etc.
Southern Metal (C.O.C., The Showdown, Down, etc.)-Deliverance, Waterboy, and Without A Paddle (anything that takes place in a swampy area or has deranged hillbillies).

I would also associate Blade Runner with prog-metal.
