For more than six months, I dated someone whose favorite movie was "The Room." He brought it up on our first date, waving the red flag right in my face. I should have known better. Maybe I'm generalizing, but I think the movies we like reveal something essential about us. They can show us our fears, the feelings we wish we could experience, the problems we're anxious to avoid or the person we'd like to be. If we're obsessed enough, the dialogue leaks into our daily conversations, a secret code that only other fans will be able to hear.
