Bibliophile? I mean, I guess a book lover could be someone who wants to bone books but I don't think it is usually used that way.

Yep. Bibliophile, cinemaphile, electrophile, nucleophile, hydrophilic... in contexts where such terms are actually going to be understood, your audience isn't going to assume a sexual interpretation of them.

-head.

Like a gearhead.
Moviehead, I dunno. Doesn't work for all things. I would just go with "fan" and make it two words.

doesn't seem to be a good single word for that, since the one you're thinking of has already been taken.

There isn't one. It's always implied. The closest might be 'burger enthusiast', but that can easily be taken as a euphemism for burgerphile.
