[ch-ching] <- sound of 2-cents worth being added...
I think its all experiential. Meaning, I think value is ascribed to something (a film, or the definition of 'love' or 'like') as it is observed in SpaceTime rather than to the thing itself.
It's similar to how I like Blade Runner, but am in love with The 5th Element, I think...but what's the difference?
YOU are the difference.
To be Zen about it (and in Minekura-sensei's words actually, although not verbatim), the you of today is not the you of yesterday. And if everything is seen BY you, then the way you see changes with the way you change. In 5 years, considering that you won't be exactly the same person as you are now, do you really think that you'll think about 'love' and 'like' and Ridley Scott vs Luc Besson films in the same way as you do right now? I guarentee not (although you may still be confused about how to describe some of them!), but right now, for the you that you currently are, 5th Element speaks to you where Blade Runner doesn't, and 'love' seems to be stronger than 'like'.
You're only befuddled because you're trying to put a static value to something that is constantly changing and shifting ie the Today that you are standing in. Life is a temporal media. You should be down with that, considering your passion for video.
