My (recently aquired) boyfriend is coming over tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone has ideas for a movie we could watch together.

You know, not too serious, not to obvious, not too silly, and of course, good.

Okay, the way I see it, having been a guy for quite some time, you have three options. Fuck him, watch a horror movie and then fuck him, or watch a good comedy - this is the only option, as far as I'm concerned, that wouldn't require sex for a fun night. Good comedies (that are on video) include:

Bad Santa
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
Not Another Teen Movie
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python: The Meaning of Life
Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different
Eurotrip
Duck Soup
Team America: World Police
Shawn of the Dead
Mallrats
Dogma
Office Space
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

Bad Santa? Bad Santa sucked. It was terrible!
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back? Is that the one with Eliza Dushku? :fluffle:

I was instantly thinking Amelie but damn, you're a girl. That's the number one date movie the other way round.

L4yer cake -could be alright
Y tu mamá también -if you haven't seen it yet

How old are you? (boyfriend coming over...quite young I'd assume) Station agent if my guess was wrong.

Yeah, I think Amelie too, such a sweet movie

I'm 18, he's 28. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Bad Santa? Bad Santa sucked. It was terrible!
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back? Is that the one with Eliza Dushku? :fluffle:

As for Bad Santa: God, damn it, are you fucking with me? Bad Santa is one of the funniest movies on that list. You just have to like sarcastic and dark comedy.

As for Jay & Silent Bob: Yes, that's the one with Eliza Dushku... why that is what you remembered from it, I have no idea.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, mother mother fuck, mother mother fuck fuck, mother fuck, mother fuck, noise noise noise, one, two, one two three four, one, two, three, smokin' weed, smokin' weed, doin' coke, drinking beers, drinkin' beers, beers, beers, rollin' fatties, smokin' blunts, who smokes the blunts? We smokes the blunts. Smokin' blunts and rollin'..."
"Can I get a nickel bag?"
"Fifteen bucks, little man, put that shit, in my hand, if that money doesn't show then you owe me owe me o'... my jungle love, o-e-o-e-o, I think I wanna know ya, know ya... yeah, what?"

Right... I've seen that movie too many times... I didn't have to look that up... and I could go on... and on...

Yeah, I think Amelie too, such a sweet movie
Or maybe something else by Jeunet(Caro)? Delicatessen is brilliant too.

Because I am obsessed with Eliza Dushku because I am obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Tru Calling wasn't bad either, because I got to obsess over Eliza Dushku even more.

I think I need help. *Laughs.*

Wait... I'm so confused... you're a chick, right? Or is your signature sarcastic? Or are you a lesbian? Or just weird?

Of all of those, "weird" is probably the best word to describe me. I'm a chick, too, but I'm much more weird than I am chickian. :p

any movie made in 2000 on wouldnt fit any of those catagories. Since 2000 apparently they are going down the list of what they made in 1930-1999 and either remaking them or adding a number after the title. and they all suck.

When Harry Met Sally, Casablanca or Beverly Hills Cop. Or you could just put on Sleepless in Seattle like most people seem to?

I'm off to bed; I'll check back in the morning. Cheers!

School of Rock, or Shallow Hal.
both hilarious (or maybe i'm secretly in love with jack black and i don't know it yet).
Regardless, i don't think there'll be much film watching going on, you might as well put on a porno.

I hated both of those movies. School of Rock especially. I saw it at the cinema and had Jimeoin sitting right behind me. He laughed at absolutely everything. Irish twat. :sniper:

Well, is this a movie to watch as a prelude to (or while) cuddling or a movie to watch as a prelude to (or while)...um...y'know?

If the former, I agree with previous posters that funny is good. Any Christopher Guest movie would amply qualify there (This is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind).

If the latter, personally, I'd recommend Secretary. It's by far the sexiest movie I've ever seen, without question, and deeply romantic to boot. Of course, it's a very specific sort of sexiness and romance, and if you're totally not into that sort, then you should probably skip it.

Or maybe something else by Jeunet(Caro)? Delicatessen is brilliant too.

Yeah near on anything by Jean Pierre Jeunet and Audrey Tautou.

Sleepless in Seattle - good old sap!
Sabrina, the old version - even older sap!
Picnic - now this is hot - Ava Gardner and William Holden what more could u want... unless its:
Top Gun - macho to the max if you want to pander to that side of him (remember in Meet the Parents, you can be Iceman he can be Maverick - or vice versa)
Comrades (Almost a lovestory) - lovely romantic Chinese movie
Chungking Express - this is so cute and romantic even QUENTIN TARANTINO loves it!
Picture Bride - a sweet story of Japanese emigrants to Hawaii and how one girl becomes the 'picture bride' of this older guy.
Moulin Rouge - of course
Strictly Ballroom - where it all began with Baz, this is great fun - heck near on anything with Baz is great fun!

Then again it depends on WHAT kind of date you're planning... good luck!

Two Words: Fight Club. Edward Norton trumps Brad Pitt in this movie. And it is dark and comedic at the same time. One of the best movies in the past ten years, in my opinion.

I've never been on a date before, but ideally- a war movie or action!

If the thought of more thought provoking drama is in mind then go rent a Schindler's List DVD!

Please note that I hate chick-flicks. Although I love a good laugh, I just don't feel that it's worth going to the theatre to watch a comedy, unless it's a Jackie Chan film.

Go to the cinema, go watch Madagascar. Thats what I'm planning to do, if I ever get past being a coward to asking her out :p

Since when did adults started watching cartoons?

How about: Chocolat, Bruce almighty, Truman Show, Bringing down the House, K-PAX , or, of course, Love actually

If you want something less funny, I'd go for Donny Darko, Sleepy Hollow and From Hell... not very romantic, though....

If you want a war movie, make sure it was made before 1990. Try one of the cool oldies, like Bridge on the River Kwai or the Great Escape. Alternatively, try a nice romantic one like Platoon or Apocalypse Now. :sniper:
For a comedy, try either the Marx Bros. (still hilarious after all these years) or something by Kevin Smith (Dogma, Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob etc.) or the aforementioned Christopher Guest.
A few episodes of Scrubs or Family Guy would work too. Good Luck! ;)

How would a date end up like if someone stuck to my choices? If I have a girlfriend, I would compromise, but when it comes to the flicks, I wouldn't pay to watch something unworthy.

Bridge on the River Kwai is a fantastic movie. So is The Great Escape. But I don't think that they're the type of movies you would watch if you were in her situation.

I do like war movies that are thought provoking, but they can't be romantic (Casablanca is not a war movie). The occassional sex scene (although few) in some cannot count as romance. LOL!

A new boyfriend! Don't bother with the movie, a bottle of wine and some music and get to know each other better! ;)

Good idea. Play Phil Collins.

Garbage! Play classical. I listen to mainly classical.

Garbage! Play classical. I listen to mainly classical.

Beethoven then? Or Vivaldi? I prefer Beethoven. But Phil Collins isn't garbage.

I listen to string serenades by Dvorak, Mozart and Elgar in the evenings. I've stopped listening to Vivaldi as often. Don't really know why.

Mmmmh...a bit of hardcore sex going on there...
:D

I've stopped listening to classical ever since my mother deleted it from my computer (don't have it on CD). My favorite piece is Pachebel's Canon.

Team America kick arse. The humor was great!

Your mother must be a very cruel and uncultured woman to do something like that. I've got a piano solo of Pachebel's Canon on mp3.

If you want classical then here ya go, mate:

She only did it accidently. But I still hate her. :sniper:

Firstly, I'm an Atheist. Not a Catholic. Secondly, I'm perfectly straight as you would probably know if you've read any of my posts where I talk about Lashie. Thank you for the music though.

ahh. well. i'm not sure if this helps, but about 5 hours ago, i was with this guy who i had a fancy for... and so after we canoed around to watch fireworks, he took me to his house. and we watched Napoleon Dynamite (even though our original objective was to watch zombie movies).

and pretty soon, we weren't... watching... it.


so i'm not sure if that helps because we did not technically watch it, and i'm not sure what your objective is.

just be smooooth it'll be fine.

LOL! I'm pretty sure she actually wanted a movie in order to watch it Avia ;)

Or maybe something else by Jeunet(Caro)? Delicatessen is brilliant too.
Speaking as a guy, I thoroughly enjoyed Jean-Pierre Jeunet's latest movie, "A Very Long Engagement". It's set in WWI, so has enough fighting to keep the average guy interested. My g/f was crying by the end of it (I felt a bit teary too to be honest).
This is a good thing if you want to have a good reason to snog without being too blantant about it. If he's good any sense, seeing you teary-eyed should propell him to give you a good hug.
If he doesn't notice, dump him.



Shame you're not a guy, cause I'd have recommended "Boogie Nights". And when Dirk flops his manhood out, you could have turned to your g/f and said "My dick's exactly like that", and when she asks "That big?", you reply "No, that dirty."
Trust me, she'll love it. ;)

Silence of the Lambs
Se7en
Taxi Driver

My (recently aquired) boyfriend is coming over tomorrow

I can't be the only one who thought that this phrase was hysterical. :D

This gonna make me sound kinda bad, but any movie with Johnny Depp. Honestly, most guys I know like Johnny Depp and usually like the actress with him. Chocolat has been mentioned, Pirates of the Carribean was good too (Plus a lot of comedy).

Since when did adults started watching cartoons?

Since I started roaming the earth :p

I watched Finding Nemo in the cinemas with a girl I liked (and still do). Still haven't had the guts to tell her though... (I think I was 17 at the time though - but that's close enough to an adult here).

Damn that was a cute movie. Loved seeing the mocked up Sydney skyline, too.

LOL! I'm pretty sure she actually wanted a movie in order to watch it Avia ;)

man, what fun is that? new loves! let 'em have some fun! turn the kids lose!

yeah. that's what i have to say.

;)

Any cheesy movie will do.
The girl will loooove it and think you have a "sentimental" side.

Don't forget to smoke some happy green stuff before, though. You don't want to suffer through Meg Ryan's endless hesitations.

PS: Don't push it too far. Wearing a pink/yellow shirt, or engaging in witty dialogue about the endless shades of beige/white paint, really means "I'M gay".

I can't be the only one who thought that this phrase was hysterical. :D

lol. Acquired is also misspelt.

Sorry to be the spelling nazi (I used to be the one who would correct the teacher (I still do on occasion at TAFE :p)

How about rat race or X-Men? (action for the boys, Hugh Jackman for the girls)

What good alternatives are there to watching films?

Silence of the Lambs
Se7en
Taxi Driver

How about...

Sophie's Choice
The Pianist
Schindler's List

:D

Schindler's List

:D

Finally somebody mentions a movie that's actually worth the effort of watching!

How about rent some documentary dramas like Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution' or D-Day and watch those with your girlfriend? LOL!

I guess this comes too late, as you're currently dating the stud in question. I must admit, I think it's utterly atrocious that no one attacked you for the TEN YEAR DIFFERENCE!!! oh, nevermind.

man, what fun is that? new loves! let 'em have some fun! turn the kids lose!

yeah. that's what i have to say.

;)Well, Avia, you are quite right. A movie tuned out to be utterly unnecesary, it seems he had other things in mind :) .

I guess this comes too late, as you're currently dating the stud in question. I must admit, I think it's utterly atrocious that no one attacked you for the TEN YEAR DIFFERENCE!!! oh, nevermind. I only have one thin to say: I love YOU.

I can't be the only one who thought that this phrase was hysterical. and you

and you too Sancta.

Anyway, to all those with suggestions, thank you. I will try to employ them next time.

Meh. If this is Nazi Germany then take her out to rally (preferably one with Hitler speaking), it'll be a night to remember! LOL!

Hang on, what does Nazism (not that I support it) have to do with Casanova?

A new boyfriend! Don't bother with the movie, a bottle of wine and some music and get to know each other better!


Good idea. Play Phil Collins.

If my girlfriend would play a Phil Collins record to me on a date, I'd probably leave at that very moment. :rolleyes:

Nazism doesn't have anything to do with Casanova. But you were saying that in Nazi Germany, a Hitler rally would have made a good date. So I jokingly commented that it was a terribly romantic idea.

Meh. If this is Nazi Germany then take her out to rally (preferably one with Hitler speaking), it'll be a night to remember! LOL!

Actually women at that time were impressed by the marches of endless men and Hitler himself attracted many women (he had a hynotic air that reached women also and he used his marital status to his political advantage).

that's you on the picture making the salute, perhaps? ;)

No, can you believe it? That's some Arab mufti from Jerusalem reviewing Waffen SS troops in Bosnia, in 1943. Whoever's anti-Semitic could be used by the Nazis, just as they had incited ethnic violence by Slavs on Jews during their occupation.

How about rent some documentary dramas like Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution' or D-Day and watch those with your girlfriend? LOL!
See id find Auschwitz a borefest.

Go with a decent movie like 'At War with the Army' or Little Women.

If my girlfriend would play a Phil Collins record to me on a date, I'd probably leave at that very moment.

Amen! Play 'Love Song' or something! I am of course joking. My advice (this is out of date I am aware) is to play Nick Cave, gorgeous man.

See id find Auschwitz a borefest.

Go with a decent movie like 'At War with the Army' or Little Women.

How dare you call it a borefest! It was a brilliantly made documentary.

I've never heard of those movies...

You want to get off the WW2 movies? Why not go with a Bond film. From Russia With Love for example.

If my girlfriend would play a Phil Collins record to me on a date, I'd probably leave at that very moment. :rolleyes:

Your loss is my gain.

In all honesty i didnt watch it as NS seemed a heelovalot more interesting at the time after i missed the first one.

Plus you get Right Wing Nutjobs denying it ever happened and the other side saying look at the Nazis Look at them while they convienenantly hide their crimes of the same type yet not scale although Stalin gave it a good Nudge.

Dont hold it over Germany and dont get all baby faced about Germany wanting to attend D-day landings and dont believe German lies about them wanting to be liberated.

Comeeon people!

Little Women stars Winona Ryder and is about during
and after the ACW its boring as sin and a waste of time.

At War with the army is crap as well it stars Dean Martin(Maybe not him but one of the rat back...)and Jerry Lewis it is a shit arse muscial with little to do with war and apparently....

The navy gets the gravy
and the army gets the beans!....

Knights Tale is excellent.

For music there are a few choices. If you just want to get laid, go for the Stones. For something thought-provoking, try good ol' Mr. Dylan. As a background to conversation, classical music works best.
By the way, consider my earlier suggestion of a few episodes of Scrubs. One of the funniest shows on TV, and pretty romantic too. Sometimes. Oh, and for the record, when I called Platoon and Apocalypse Now romantic, I was joking. Those are the most unromantic films I can think of.

Your loss is my gain.

hands of me girlfriend, mister. :headbang:

hands of me girlfriend, mister. :headbang:
Why not your both Commies share the wealth er i mean poverty.... :p

Actually the local Paper had a list of the 10 or 20 greatest much watch movies for ze ladies or pigdogs so ill post some t'murrah!

How did I forget The Shawshank Redemption and The Usual Suspects? Two of the best films ever made! :headbang: :headbang:

Bad Santa

Monty Python: The Meaning of Life
Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different
Eurotrip
Duck Soup
Team America: World Police
Shawn of the Dead

Dogma
Office Space
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

If you want him to think you have an ounce of good taste, not to mention, maturity and good sense, then avoid most of the movies on this list (particularly the last one, which was completely tasteless). Dogma was kind of funny, but maybe a bit too silly. The Monty Python movies are kind of fun, but I'm not so sure about them being good date movies. The only one I'd really agree with on this list is Office Space.

In all honesty i didnt watch it as NS seemed a heelovalot more interesting at the time after i missed the first one.

Ah yes, how could we forget the rat back. Sooooooo much better than the Rat Pack. Actually, there's an idea for music: Sinatra or Dino. It's perfect! I'm a genius! An insane genius!

Finally somebody mentions a movie that's actually worth the effort of watching!

Yeah, but Schindler's List probably comes under the category of being too serious, don't you think?

How did I forget The Shawshank Redemption and The Usual Suspects? Two of the best films ever made! :headbang: :headbang:

Well, I can't say much, seeing as how I forgot to include "A Knight's Tale" in my list - d'oh!

You want to get off the WW2 movies? Why not go with a Bond film. From Russia With Love for example.

Bond is just a subtle Rambo with class. Bond films are so unrealistic.

Knights Tale is excellent.

That movie was boring.

As a background to conversation, classical music works best.

Oh, and for the record, when I called Platoon and Apocalypse Now romantic, I was joking. Those are the most unromantic films I can think of.

I listen to classical music all the time, I must say, it's very thought provoking. It's either that, or I listen to the soundtrack of C&C: Generals, perhaps females would enjoy that too. LOL!

How can war films be romantic? Pearl Harbor is an example of trying to romaticize a war film. The results spoke for themselves.

Yeah, but Schindler's List probably comes under the category of being too serious, don't you think?

I've never been on a date before and I don't compromise over something as expensive as seeing a movie. When I go to the theatre, I expect to see something I would enjoy. Not some chick flick or animation (unless there will be another South Park movie).

By the way, if there's a movie involving war or the Nazis, I'll be all over it like a fly on muck (if I'm ever relieved of my academic duties in time).

I've never been on a date before and I don't compromise over something as expensive as seeing a movie. When I go to the theatre, I expect to see something I would enjoy. Not some chick flick or animation (unless there will be another South Park movie).
I think I know why you've never been on a date...

Anyway, along the same lines as you, George A Romero's Land of the Dead is a good date movie...

I think I know why you've never been on a date...

I admit to be an ugly bastard.

Why not your both Commies share the wealth er i mean poverty.... :p

Q: Why is the commie sodomizing his wife?

A: He's sharing her with his comrade!

Here's a pickup line from Maoist China:

"Hey there, female comrade. Why don't we go out to a state-owned mess hall for dinner tonight, catch a showtrial and public execution, then come back to my commune and hump like pandas?"

(Please note that this is a joke.)

Ah yes, how could we forget the rat back. Sooooooo much better than the Rat Pack. Actually, there's an idea for music: Sinatra or Dino. It's perfect! I'm a genius! An insane genius!
Thanks smart arse have a cookie but did you know Samoans get there P's and B's mixed up?

By the way, if there's a movie involving war or the Nazis, I'll be all over it like a fly on muck (if I'm ever relieved of my academic duties in time).

Ah. Now I get it.

Sin City!!!!
