I don't think that 'I have seen more movies than you' is correct sentence. Actually in oral english we say the same, but in written it is not accepted.

In such cases you are allowing reader to assume anything. As a reader I can read this sentence as 'I have seen more movies than you did/make/created', Such a freedom I think is not correct.

First rule of GMAT is that sentence should be crystal clear and unambiguous.

HTH!!!!

I have a small doubt.

There is something called ellipse construction. Where you omit some words in the repetition. Can't we omit had here? Which will make "A" and "B" also among the choices in the race for winning position.

Why something like below does not apply in this sentence:

"I have seen more movies than you."

The above I think is a grammatically correct sentence and we are not specifying the activity seeing again in the second part of the comparison.

Please tell what I am missing here.

Thanks
