I feel you! My boyfriend is rather picky, while I like to watch most everything but have limited time as I'm doing FOSS stuff also.

No real advice from here. Maybe initiate a 'classics' tradition - like every Saturday that you're not away you watch a classic movie. For cultural education not just for fun – meaning this might include genres or specific movies that might seem uninteresting. That's what we're going to try and I definitely will sneak in some personal interest in there 😄
