- Valkyrie. Sure it has Tom Cruise, but who wants a history lesson?
- Fatal Attraction. This should be banned from any date night.
- Waiting to Exhale. See above.
- Basic Instinct. Watch this with someone you want to tie up and it will never happen. (Don’t ask me how I know.)
- Sleepless in Seattle. This movie is corny and if you’re a woman it will cause erectile dysfunction in your date.
- Any Rocky or Terminator movie. Do I even have to explain this one?
- Beloved. The book was hard enough to follow.
- Current Porn. It may be obvious that you want to have sex, but do you really have to pull out the Jenna Jamison collection.
So, what are good movies to watch on a date?
While I said no current porn, you can impress your date with “The Devil In Miss Jones,” because that movie is classic. Just make sure you comment on the artistic nature of the movie.
Comedies are also a good choice. Laughter can lead to a lot of things. And if you have to see a drama, make sure it’s one with an ending that will lead to a lot of conversation. Try Spike Lee’s 25th Hour.
Superhero movies are cool, only if it’s Batman, either the Christian Bale ones or the Michael Keaton ones.

Can anyone suggest a good movie to watch on a date?
You mean at the theater or on DVD? At the cinema, I’d say see Duplicity. But see it early because it moves slow at times.
If you’re watching a movie at home, try a classic movie. It will make you look deep and cultured to your date.

I appreciate the comments. Despite the fact that I may not really agree with everything you point out, it is really great to see another person expressing their mind with the bare minimum of fuss.
