I'm sure you're talking about an extremely specific situation. I imagine that it's very rare to find situations where two people find they have such drastic differences in taste when it comes to mainstream movies, so much so that there's a 1% chance one person will actually like the same movie as his friend with different taste.
It's not, I come across situations like that literally every day of my working life.

Enjoyment in any form of art is personal, and another person's opinions can go fuck themselves regardless of how many times tastes have differed before.
Sure but estimating what one will like and what one will not based on opinions on previously watched films is very doable and surprisingly precise, there are websites built around it.
sure it's not 100% accurate but it does a very good job.

Simply not seeing a movie because "my friend liked it, but I hate movies he likes" is cunt-like stupidity.
It's not, I didn't even watch films at all before I discovered the tools that allow me to filter out shit. If I followed your advice I would watch at most 1 film a month.
