You could ask people "What did you like about this movie?" and they could tag various things they liked about it, e.g. "was smart," "cheesy humor" or "had Jennifer Lawrence."
Heck, that sounds like something that might be worth building, a tag-based movie recommendation engine.

As for who will enjoy what etc., there are entire industries that spend their efforts on knowing that, like Nielsen and Rotten Tomatoes.
One category listed here is Pursuit:
> the fugitive flees punishment for a misunderstood conflict. Example: Les Misérables
By this logic, 'Les Miserables', 'Mission Impossible', and 'Catch Me if You Can' are all just rehashing the same basic idea. On an existential level, sure, but is there any practical use to a category that broad?
