What Movie Should I Watch?

Question

I'm wanting to spend a lonely single's Valentine's Day with a friend and a good movie. Thing is, I pick terrible movies. I usually go for artsy stuff a la "Mullholand Drive", "I Heart Huckabees", "Donnie Darko", etc., etc. (not knocking those movies; they just weren't for me).

I'm up for anything that's good (it DOESN'T have to be recent) and doesn't leave me regretting my choice at the end of it!

Some movies I like: "Dummy" with Adrien Brody- sweet, subtle humor like that, heartwarming tales, "Superstar" with Molly Shannon-sort of humor, but not ultimately gross-out or stupid, "Sixth Sense" or "The Skeleton Key" horror films- pyschological stuff, not "Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Grudge", absorbing, fast-paced dramas like "Bound" with Jennifer Tilly- the sort of thing that twists and keeps you on the edge of your seat with tension.


Thanks for the input!

Try ----stand by me by Rob Riner. Story by Stehpen King. It's a wonderful tale of the importance of freindship and if that dosen't work try Idiocracy by Mike Judge. It has Luke Wilson as the star. The story takes place in the future where the whole world is dumb. Luke Wilson gets awaken from a freezer and is the smartest person on the planet but the time period where he comes from his I>Q is just normal. It's really funny. Hope I helped.
