True, and I've being using tags for exactly this purpose (among others), with 3rd-party app and Keywords scraping from TMDB and IMDB as tags. 

My system is crammed with thousands of tags, what it allows (between other uses) is  'term' searching - or Category search, as per OP - and subsequent grouping as well (Playlists or Collections - if inclined so) as opposed to Title search only. Very seldom do I find a term that I don't have a movie or two (or 10 or 20) of. 

Example of the terms in the screenshot above:

You can make a Collection out of it and grab the artwork from URL yourself?

Collection need to stay collections mixing it with tags will be confusing and playlist has been made mostly for music

Collections are exactly what the name says, groups of items. They can be auto-created (TMDB Movie Sets) or custom-made, by the criteria anyone sees appropriate. Which may - or doesn't have to - include any common denominator. Tags in this case are used just to narrow down that denominator. You ain't mixing anything there.
