I like him most. vs I like him the most.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. "I like him most." is used when comparing two or more people. "I like him the most." is used when expressing a superlative preference for one person. The addition of "the" in the second phrase emphasizes that this person is your top choice.
