Is it really easy not to come up with the desired explanation here? It seems like the most obvious possible answer, that people tend to watch the types of movies that they like. Actually it seems to provide almost no information unless their hiring pool is mostly candidates who utterly lack common sense.

I recall reading that someone found fizzbuzz (with nothing fancy) to be a highly effective filter for programming interviews

Hiring pools tend to be filled with nonsense candidates
