Alternatively, the process of defining these global definitions exposes exactly this conflict and leads to common definitions of "Files", "Contracts" and "Watchables" instead of 3 conflicting definitions of "Movies"?

The conflict will definitely help define the terms. Maybe they will all choose "Movie", maybe not. Just there is no universally ideal term that represents a concept for all users for all time. It's a common error to seek such universal definitions.
