I have no doubt that "virtually everyone" think they know why they enjoy this or that movie, but I also believe that virtually everyone is wrong virtually all the times when it comes to explaining our own acts or opinions.
Science, and especially social sciences, often give this impression of being looked down at. It's like, we lost being the center of the universe, we had to admit that we are just one species of ape, that we have unconscious thoughts, that some decisions can be predicted before we take them, that we can easily be manipulated in many ways, but at least can we not decide for ourself why we like some benign entertainment such as watching a movie or commenting on HN? :)
