This study tries to clarify whether, when applied to film regarded as a popular form of culture, the classical distinction between highbrow and lowbrow still makes sense or not and if yes, to what extent cultural capital influences people’s movie preferences. In cultural sociology, researches on taste hierarchy starts with a question: why the preferences which appears to be a matter of individual choice, tend to have collective characteristics and why the process of cultural socialization corresponds to that of cultural stratification(homology hypothesis). Bourdieu and his colleagues’s theory explaining unequal distribution of tastes based on high-status cultural exclusiveness is criticized by their transatlantic counterparts saying that today’s cultural consumption is mostly determined by the breadth of cultural activities, rather than just based on the high-culture items(omnivore-univore hypothesis). First, using data on cultural practices from the 2006 survey performed by KISDI, we tried to assess the hierarchy of taste of the haves and the have-nots in economical and cultural sense. Secondly, while showing the important role that cultural capital plays in shaping the preference of movies, we also make clear that some groups distinguishable in terms of ‘high-culture’ participation, not in terms of ‘cultural knowledge’ are exclusive in their movie-tastes. We concluded that although the breadth of taste is one of the most important signals that show people’s eliteness in cultural terms, the implication of homology theory is not to be rejected. The symbolic boundaries dividing social groups are not weakened but complicated so that the homology theory and omnivore-univore theory are to be regarded as complementary rather than opposite alternative.
