Thank you
Is there no chance that #2 is available?
Statement #2 also came out right after the event(watching a movie together) ended.

@hhoc2000 No because that action is now in the past so watch should be in past tense.

It is possible to say #2, but that would be a command. It would mean “I disliked watching this movie with you so much, I’m never going to watch another movie with you. This was the last time!”
