We've used tags to accomplish this very successfully. One of the features we requested very early on was a display by tag menu item for this very reason.

Items can have one and only one parent category. This could be changed at the database level, but would require substantial reworking of code, when as others have pointed out, the required mechanics to support this already exists in tags. I don't see any reason for this to be changed. K2 lets you have it both ways -- a strict hierarchy of categories, as well as a many to many relationship between a "tag" and "articles".

Look at this example- You have website for movies and you are adding new movie in category named "horror". But the movie is also funny and you want to add it to one more category named "Funny movies". I can't see how the tangs can do it.

You have tags for "comedy" and "horror".
