What makes a movie a great date movie?

Question

Looking for your thoughts on what elements are most important to a great date movie (a bit of analysis). Examples welcome. Thanks

Answer 1

A good date movie is any movie that you can enjoy together and discuss later. Comadies are good becouse you generaly have a good time, actions and dramas are not to good becouse you get to wrapped up or become so involved, you forget to enjoy the show. Pick something you can both agree to see and watch it. Any movie can be a date movie if they are your thing.

Answer 2

I think a movie is a great date movie if it has a great love story behind it. Violence is probably out of the question for a date movie. Comedy could work if you want to get each other laughing and more comfortable on first dates. Bad language should not be in a good dating movie also.

Answer 3

I think that the best date movies are movies that both the guy and the girl can laugh at. Action is great, romance is great. But during the action parts, the girl might get bored, and during the romance parts the guy might get annoyed, etc. However, comedy usually keeps both parties interested. Usually comedy that's unoffensive and not aimed at either gender works best. The best movie date I ever had was when my boyfriend and I went to see "Anger Management." We both nearly fell out of our seats, and then spent the whole ride home repeating lines and laughing with each other.

It has to be a movie the woman wants to see adn teh guy won't totally hate, unles he's willing to go for sacrifial points.

it should have some reason, (scary, emotional), for the woman to search for comfort from the guy.

it shouldn't bring up anything too negative or be too crass (unles she really loves that kind of stuff) the super negative (think children or small animals injured) will not be good if she's bawling the entire time.

Romantic comedies are usually a safe bet but i'd try to figure out what she likes (for me its scary movies) and play on it.
They are also nice because you can laugh and have hte bog romantic emotion when they kiss which should give ya'll some ideas.

Oh and if you must go toa tear jerker, have some Kleenexes with you, she'll be touched by the gesture as you hand them to her, plus you'll get super kudos for be so prepared.
also be ready to discuss it afterwards.

Answer 5

If you want to impress the girl youre taking to the movie, pick a movie which includes elements she can relate to, which also pertain to your interests and personality.
-You want the date to reflect who you are, so she can get to know you, so the movie you go see should reflect you as well. For instance if you like horses, take her to "The Horse Whisperer", not "Brokeback Mountain". That movie may give her the wrong idea about YOU.
-You should want it to be a movie you two can both talk about afterwards. Women are into communication more than shoes, almost. And the communication has to be more than, "Did you see the yaboes on that tramp?"
-Remember to make it memorable too. You never know if, 30 years from now, shes going to turn to you and say, "Remember the movie we saw on our first date?" And trust me, you want to be able to remember it, just to keep the peace after 30 years.
-Pick movies which dont have a lot of gunfire or car chases. Some of them are good date movies, but only if youre 14.
-Ive always found it personally advantageous to never go to a movie with a male lead whos better looking than I am. That way she doesnt get into comparing the two of us. But there are only so many Carrottop movies out there.
-Dont choose those urban, "In the Hood" movies, unless you like dialogue punctuated by live gunfire.
-Movies with credits for Industrial Light and Magic are not for dates.
-Honestly the movie can be the worst piece of tripe ever committed to celluloid, its all in how you treat HER during the date which will make it special for her and you both. Hell if the chemistry is there, the movie is immaterial; you wont be there for the whole thing. The great thing is, after it comes out on DVD, you buy it and hide it. Then give it her for your 5th anniversary or something. And oh MAN will you make points if you have to explain its a copy of the movie you two saw on your first date! She will feel SO guilty about forgetting you'll be getting your favorite meals for WEEKS after.

Answer 6

A good date movie is one that offers something for both the guy and the girl. It is also one that allows for discussion afterward. For example: When Harry Met Sally. This is such a great movie. Proof of this is the fact that people still discuss it to this day. It asks the age old question: can men and women be friends?

Answer 7

Romantic Comedies are always good - though you have to make sure to find a good thought-provoking one so that you guys have something to talk about afterwards. Some examples: The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Love Actually, When Harry Met Sally, A Knight's Tale, Wimbledon, Almost Famous, Benny & Joon. Make sure to find one you'll both enjoy - and guys can like romantic ones too ;)

Answer 8

A little bit of romance to set a mood, a few laughs to break the tension if this is a first date maybe, interesting plot so you have something to talk about afterwards, and not too much sex or nudity so the embarassment is kept to a minimum, lol. I think an action/adventure type movie, a fun one without too much violence, would be good.

Answer 9

Well it for sure has to be a movie both the girl and guy are interested in. haha. So something with some love...and action. Fast and Furious would be a good one if the girl is into that...cause most guys are into cars. I'm always into scary movies. Those are the type of movies my man and I go to in theatres. Its so much better in a big theatre....with my man...getting scared....

Answer 10

well, since the point of a date is to put the lady in the mood for love, pick something SHE likes.

since (although I am female) I don't really LIKE chick flicks, I can't really offer an analysis. In other words, a great date movie really depends on who you are dating, and what kind of movies they like.
