In general a philistine is someone who doesn't like, and makes sure you know it, the books or movies that you happen to like. I suppose we are all philistines with respect to someone else.

I think a philistine is generally a person who is uncultured. I've also heard it used to refer to people who are unintelligent. It seems all relative to me. There are people who I might consider philistines and there are people who would consider me a philistine.
