I am confused about "have much in common" and "have many in common".
I have searched and I know the phrase "have something in common".
If I want to convey that between Jack and I both like many stuffs and have the same tastes,such as movies,songs,games and so on.
How should I say it correctly,by this way?
Jack and I have much in common so we become good friends
Jack and I have many in common so we become good friends

While 'much' can go without any direct reference, 'many' does require it.
is okay.
But...
required 'things' to follow many.
Thus, if you use 'many', you may need to add 'what' in your sentence. Maybe, many 'things', 'hobbies' or the like.
One of the references I could find (quickly) is...
You may call those all as 'things'. It's fine.
