My favourites
*Appeal to Authority
**This shouldn't be confused with putting one's trust in a scientific consensus: individual scientists can be fallible, but the scientific community, in a robust and rigorously researched field, is fairly trustworthy
*Argument Ad Hominem
*Straw Man
*Argument from final consequences
**A theory is wrong because bad things will arise from it (or is right because of good consequences).
*Argument ad populum
*Lottery fallacy
**I haven't found the proper name for this fallacy, but it goes something like this: there are million-to-one odds for Bob winning the lottery, then he wins. The odds are so steep that there ''must'' be a conspiracy to make him win. This is obviously false; there are a million people who purchase a ticket, someone is going to win.
