Thought this would be a fun little thing to do. Not necessarily because the movie's story revolves around that genre per se (e.g Whiplash - Jazz) but more because the feel it captures is similar to its musical counterpart, to you. I know comparing two different art forms doesn't make a lot of sense, but still.
I'll start with a few ones:
Jazz - Breathless
Classical music - Citizen Kane
Hip Hop/Rap - Do The Right Thing
Punk - SubUrbia
Early indie/underground rock - Shadows
Heavy Metal - Mad Max: Fury Road
Shoegaze - Lost in Translation
Country - Easy Rider

I associate the French New Wave with much post-punk music actually - particularly Elevator to the Gallows and Breathless with the music of say The Go-Betweens in the case of the former and The Only Ones in the case of the latter. Now that's a simple connection because it's image wise but it fits I think - a certain romance of style. The Smiths too.......
Country maybe Nashville (again, simple but......)
Rap/Hip Hop I would say Menace II Society which makes a lot of key points slyly in the plot about what fathers do to sons to perpetuate a life of crime and which was a key lyrical motif in the Jay/Nas/90s era.
American indie-rock as what I consider the peak era of 81-87 (Replacements/REM/Husker Du/Mission of Burma) gets a lot of its tangled feelings of love, anger, frustration, and sensibilty from films like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Dog Day Afternoon..........a sort of "we're f*cked anyway" sensibility.
You could by extension conflate those with Punk but for me the punk era had a British streak in movies and it comes out in films like "If" or angry young man kitchen sink 60s stuff (Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner) and Clockwork Orange.

Hip Hop/Rap - 8 Mile.

also The Addiction has like some hip hop in the score ig but it really encapsulates abstract hip hop in general; weird, conceptual, lots of big words, atmosphere over logic, great stuff

American Honey - Lana Del Rey
Sadcore to the max. Even though I think American Honey is a very 90s film at heart, which is the peak era of sadcore, go figure. That's all I got, man.
