Subgenres should not be types of Keywords
A year ago I posted this thread. In it, I argued that IMDB should transition to an upvote/downvote system of applying keywords for titles. It was mostly disliked and rejected by commentors there for fear that factual keywords would be voted off of profiles (a possibility, albeit under that system an

Picking keywords for similar movies
I wish there was a feature where when you go on the keywords that belong to a movie, you can pick multiple ones you like that will link you to similar movies instead of being only able to click just one.

The specifics on how this works could be up for debate, but currently the only way keywords get removed is via users manually putting them through a removal process.
