Sure.
Sounds good.
Sounds like fun.

That’s the one identifies something or someone. It could be interpreted as, for example, “That’s the book I was referring to” or “That’s the person who mugged me” (said by a victim pointing out a suspect in a line-up). It wouldn’t make sense as an answer to “How does a movie grab you?”
