Cooking enthusiasts: What varieties of rice have you found to be good other than the "common" rice?

Last night I stayed home and made New Year’s eve dinner for myself. I wanted the starch to be rice, but I ran out of “common” rice. I had on hand a small bag of Jasmine rice, and it was very good with dinner. This morning I took the leftover cooked rice and added some 2% milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, raisins and an apple and made a great, stove-top rice pudding. I think Jasmine rice will be my new rice of choice. I googled it and found it’s less starchy and hence less sticky than other rice varieties. I also found out there are 40,000 varieties of rice from all around the world.

What rice varieties have you cooked with that you found to be good for your recipes?
