"would rather"

You would rather go to a movie than study.

Can this sentence be used??

The reason why i ask is "would rather" express "preference"

I don't know your preference.

If any, I think to make it is so weird.

How about??

I think we can judge some other people's preferences.

This could be a parent talking to a teenager who is supposed to be studying for their exams, but is not working hard and going out with their friends instead.

Yes. If you know this preference from previous experience, you can truthfully say this. If you are not sure, you can place I think (that) or It seems (that) at the beginning:

I think you would rather go to a movie than study.
It seems that you would rather go to a movie than study.
