Parkour Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Ok so I've been seeing this new girl at work for a month now. I'm a bit reserved as try to stay away from office romances but we both just seem to hit it off. I've taken her on 2 official dates now and she seems very keen. I've been round her house a few times now too so think we are now at a stage where we are comfortable with each other. Anyway she wants to do a date movie night round her dads next week when she's back from holiday. (her dad will be away on holiday). I was wondering what are good movies to watch that both of us could find enjoyable. She mentioned armagaedon is one of her favourites but also she has loads of 'boy' films that we could watch? I'm pretty easy going so I'll watch most things. But wondering if you guys have any suggestions?
d0nnivain Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 If she likes Armageddon pick the latest sci fi film.
Sand Man Dan Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Doesn't matter, you'll both be missing all but the first twenty minutes. Right!? 4
deathandtaxes Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Doesn't matter, you'll both be missing all but the first twenty minutes. Right!? Usually it's watch less than the first 20 and miss the rest... 2

writergal Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Pick a movie you could care less about. Movie Nights never really require watching the movie. Am I right? 3
Author Parkour Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Very true! Maybe I should just bring chocolates or wine instead!
Eau Claire Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Hard to go wrong with a comedy if its not too crude. Gets you both laughing. Also, no need to follow a plot. If you are taking a movie...get a couple. If its 'boring' after a few minutes, switch movies. She'll like it if you take a snack over that is beyond the norm...shows you made an effort.
writergal Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Hehehe! Well bring a movie just for appearance's sake if you must! But I don't know too many adults who actually watch movies on "movie date night" unless they're over 40.
Phantom888 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Watch some steamy romance movie. Would she like to watch some soft porn?
MalachiX Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Like everyone says, pick something fun that you don't mind missing. Movie dates to a theater are about watching a movie. Movie dates at home are about having some alone time.... That said....Do not watch Armageddon. It has NOT aged well. I also think it kills libido. About six months ago I had a first date with a girl. Things seemed to be going pretty well. I mentioned I had just changed apartments and she offered to put me in touch with a guy who was moving out of the country and selling his furniture. We grabbed some ice-cream and coffee and she then asked, "Hey, have you ever seen Armageddon? I wanna keep hanging out but I've never seen it and it's playing at the vintage theater!" I accompanied her, even though I'd seen Armageddon when it came out years ago. The movie was so much worse than I remembered. Soooooooooo bad. She kept saying "this is awful." "I can't believe anyone liked this movie!" Afterwards I walked her to her car and we said goodnight. I texted her afterwards "Had a good time" but I got no response. The next day I messaged her (on the dating app); "Hey, thanks for coming out with me the other night. Would you mind sending me the email of that guy who has the furniture?" I also got no response. Now, I suppose I could just chalk this up to her being a little awkward. Maybe she didn't think we were hitting it off and just ignored me (though it's odd that she invited me to come to a movie with her after the date). Or maybe she just got busy. I, however, would like to think it was entirely Armageddon's fault The movie was so bad that even talking to me would bring back terrible memories of the film and that was too much.

Unless you know for a fact -- and by fact I practically mean notarized writing or having done it before -- suggesting a movie harder than say Body Heat or the Postman Always Rings Twice is more likely to get you slapped & thrown out then it is to get you an invitation to re-enact when you are seeing on screen.
Els Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 I found the latest Star Trek movie to be excellent for libido.
writergal Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Don't choose action adventures or horror films or sappy dramas for your at-home movie date night. My picks for you are mostly American films: "Friends With Benefits" (although that may give your date the wrong message) staring Justin Timberlake. "There's Something About Mary" staring Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. "This Means War" staring Chris Pine, the handsome Tom Hardy (hubba hubba), Reese Witherspoon and the crazy Chelsea Handler.
MalachiX Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 "Friends with Benefits" could definately give the wrong idea this early in the relationship. I think something fun is always useful. I had great luck with "Cabin in the Woods."
