Crime movies have more Extroverted and less Agreeable fans, mirroring these traits’ links to actual criminal behavior. Liking sci-fi and fantasy movies is related to higher Openness, lower Extraversion, and lower Conscientiousness, indicating that fans of these genres are imaginative, reflective, and spontaneous. More Agreeable fans like family movies, and horror movies have fans that are less Agreeable and Extraverted and more Neurotic. Surprisingly, the genre most strongly associated with all AFPP dimensions is sports, whose fans are lower on Openness and Neuroticism, and higher on Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Agreeableness. The latter two traits were previously found to be higher among sports fans. Of note, liking for sports movies was not assessed in any previous studies of personality and media preferences.
That's all pretty broad. When you get down into a person's particular movie preferences you can probably only say that they are the kind of person who likes those particular movies. -

I believe they do.
For example, if a person digs horror films, they are much more likely to be metal fans. Guaranteed, in fact. I have a friend who married his wife due to the shared passion for metal. Admittedly, she isn't too much of a horror fan. Not all metal fans are horror fanatics, but all horror fanatics are metal fans.
