Closest taste

Jaccard overlap against every other visit, counted on what came off the shelf rather than on films, so a shared box set counts once rather than as the films inside it.

403 visits compared · 31 filmed-together pairs excluded

Nobody close enough to name

A visit needs at least 5 choices to be compared at all, and a pair at least 2 in common to count as close. This visit took 4, so it sits out of the comparison.
