You know I experience that too.
I've also noticed that I feel somewhat of a connection to people if they like the same art/music/film I like. It makes me feel like I have something in common with them that goes beyond words. I don't know if that makes any sense.
I know my ENFJ sister doesn't really get it...she's like "those are just sounds, and pictures, and colors...it all comes down to how someone treats you"...and yeah, there's truth in what she's saying too, but she doesn't get it.
Although I have some ENFJ friends who get it (I thought it was rather NF...maybe not), and we bonded over it.
I love this quote from High Fidelity (the movie): "What really matters is what you like, not what you are like. Books, records, films - these things matter."
I've actually had to tone down my feeling there - it too easily becomes snobbery. It became a means of isolation instead of connection... But the general feeling always remains intact.
