Honestly though, I find that "great" date movies are ones that are generally more complex and thoughtful, have massive sexual undertones/passion, and are yet funny at times. They give you something to talk about (and obviously don't seem just like a straight porno), break some sexual tension (or open up an interesting conversation), and put you in a good mood which is key for the date. - Osirus1156, on 12/12/2007, -10/+29500 Internal Server Error is an awesome movie.
- innocentsinner, on 12/12/2007, -2/+18No Princess Bride?
- rafloh, on 12/12/2007, -0/+15This is the lamest, most random collection of movies I have ever seen. Who the hell digs this crap? Honestly, "How can u go wrong w/ Hugh Grant"? Usual Suspects, Pulp Fiction, Seven, American Beauty?? WTF
- superal1394, on 12/12/2007, -2/+16Usual suspects is epic, but I don't quite get what makes it a date movie.
Any of the Pirates movies, however, I think should have been on the list. - happyfundave, on 12/12/2007, -0/+13This is a very lazy list. Its either a classic film with dark tones (Seven, American Beauty, Usual Suspect) which if your girl wants to watch on a date you dont need a list of date movies or they are chick flicks (the rest of the list except wedding crashers).
Here is another lazy but not as lazy attempt at another one
-Amelie
A foreign film that is romantic, subtle, funny and will impress your date because you picked something french
-The Princess Bride
Maybe the most romantic film ever made also possibly the funniest
-Gross Pointe Blank/High Fidelity
Both Cusack (women seem to love him), both funny, both loved by all
-Stardust
Has that funny romantic magic of Princess Bride with a chance she hasn't seen it a million times
-Edward Scissorhands
Women love the Depp and its Tim Burton at his height. A genuinely touching story
-The Secretary
This movie is just damn sexy. Women agree, men agree
-Stranger then fiction
one of the best movies ever. She'll agree
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
About love and its risk, will definitely give you something to discuss
-Back To The Future
Its fun and upbeat, really who can argue it.
-Any Pixar movie ever
Its casual, universally loved by all but not so important that you wont mind missing large sections while ummm distracted. - wickedhope170, on 12/12/2007, -3/+13i find fight club to be a great date movie...
- NewYorkMantle, on 12/12/2007, -5/+14"how to loose a guy in 10 days", huh?
- bitt3n, on 12/12/2007, -0/+9it's too late, I'm already screwing Darryl from accounting.
I'm sorry you had to learn about this on digg, but since you've been so distance lately I couldn't think of a better way to tell you. - sulayman, on 12/12/2007, -0/+8Yeah. Like I'm gonna give any merit whatsoever to an "article" that can't even differentiate between 'lose' and 'loose.'
Hell, the list fails by simply including that trainwreck of a movie in the first place. - notBrit, on 12/12/2007, -3/+11Seven? Are you kidding me? I love that movie, but it made me want to vomit. And it was years before I could disassociate the hooker scene with sex. Seriously, watch Seven with a girl and you will not get laid.
buried. - mockamonkey, on 12/12/2007, -2/+10Mirror

- 405994, on 12/12/2007, -0/+7Never thought I'd see "Seven" and "Notting Hill" on the same list.
- nicktheawesome, on 12/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah, you'd think with the cover right there they might spell it correctly. Apparently not.
- johnn11238, on 12/12/2007, -1/+7How about you leave her and marry someone you actually like??

- sek52, on 12/12/2007, -0/+4Inconceivable!
- spikebabe9, on 12/12/2007, -0/+4Yeah seriously that is one of the greatest movies ever! Plus it has action for the guys and love for the girls. A good make-out movie.
- kevdotbadger, on 12/12/2007, -2/+6'Chasing Amy' is a great film. I think that should be up there.
- letdowntourist, on 12/12/2007, -0/+4There's been way too many of these mannpill "lists" up here lately. Even worse, they go down instantly.
- inactive, on 12/12/2007, -2/+5"Don't date, save yourself from that *****"
that'd be a movie. - Lilitou, on 12/12/2007, -0/+3Goddamn. You need to meet new girls.
- osarhan, on 12/12/2007, -0/+3Breakfast Club?
- blitzer, on 12/12/2007, -1/+4Now all I need is a girl who will watch these with me.

this worked for me - Dbeneath, on 12/12/2007, -0/+3that joke never gets old. psych.
- kmckanna, on 12/12/2007, -1/+4You guys want an easy tip? Simply ask what kind of movies / what movies she likes and pick on out together. WHOA PROBLEM SOLVED. Instead of picking one of these very oddly grouped films (not saying any of them are bad, especially Pulp Fiction, it's amazing) but for God sakes, it really depends on who the girl is? I had a girl trick me in to watching Georgia (*****) Rule with her on like the 3rd date. It was terrible, I should have put my foot down.
- cam2009, on 12/12/2007, -0/+3Needs more Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
- fakeplasticsnow, on 12/12/2007, -0/+3Any girl that would consider Pulp Fiction a date movie would be incredible.
- Lilitou, on 12/12/2007, -0/+3Nice list. Vast improvement over the article. I'm mostly digging this for Secretary, though. Everyone should see that movie.
- boulderVnothing, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2Annie Hall????
- gtg415w, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2What about the Big Lebowski...
- hhowk, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2Incredibly terrible list. Notting Hill??? Are you kidding me? Julia Roberts is the dark matter opposite good movies.
- ktchpmn, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2dude start a blog and post that list. you'll easily get more diggs than this lame story
- Scaryclouds, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2A couple movies I would switch out, Wedding Crashers is good, so is American Beauty. However "The Princess Bride" would be an excellent date movie. I'm digging you for that.
- murf43143, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2Every girl I know wants to watch The Notebook.
- noisey, on 12/12/2007, -3/+5They only have one movie listed, "Internal Server Error". Not a very good plot synopsis either.
- cloisterpunk, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2Most of this list insults me.
Why? Because I’m a man, and men should not be exposed to certain things.
Oprah, Used Tampons, Julia Roberts, Scented Moisturizer… you get the drift.
Let's tear this apart shall we?
Singles
Nirvana backed out of the soundtrack for this piece of ***** as soon as they saw the final product. An aspiring rocker who is taking his girlfriend for granted? That gag's got whiskers on it! This story is intertwined with a couple of equally clichéd twenty-something romance formulas and helmed by the incomparable Matt Dillon and Bridget Fonda. They are undoubtedly the greatest actors of our generation. If you’re going to waste your time by watching a love story directed by the guy who wrote “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, rent “Say Anything.” That’s a ***** date movie, and John Cusack’s a ***** kick-boxer. The tagline for “Singles” was “Love is a Game. Easy to Start. Hard to Finish.” At least I know the last part is true, because I’ve never been able to sit through the entire film.
Notting Hill
The only way you’re going to get a guy to watch a movie with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts is if you surgically remove his testicles. I decided not to watch this garbage when I found out there was no scene where Julia Roberts swallows Hugh Grant’s entire body with that enormous ***** mouth of hers. The lady who made this list described a scene as “gut-wrenching” and said that it made her “weak in the knees”. You know what else will make you weak in the knees? A round-house kick to the back of the neck. “Can the most famous film star in the world fall for just an ordinary guy?” The answer is no.
How to Loose a Guy in Ten Days
First; that’s ‘LOSE’ not ‘Loose’. Second, and more importantly; Matthew McConaughey should be beaten to death, preferably with the flopping corpse of Kate Hudson. This movie not only embarrasses those involved, it embarrasses our nation. The main character (Kate Hudson) is a manipulative jackass and Matt McConaughey is just the everyman that’s going turn that around! Wait, he’s also a Jackass. They’re made for each other! I came out of that movie knowing one thing and one thing only. Rich white people are scum who routinely play with other people’s lives and emotions for their enjoyment. What was the pitch for this one? “All right guys, hear me out, it’s kinda like “Trading Places”, but in the end Eddie Murphy hooks up with Don Ameche.” “One of them is lying. So is the other.” They lied all right. They lied to America.
Serendipity
So, John Cusack meets Kate Beckinsale and they have an enchanting evening, though you can’t really tell due to their lack of chemistry. Then Kate refuses to give him her number because he’s a royal ***** (and because he starred in “One Crazy Summer”). Oh and because they are two-timing their current lovers. Fate reunites these two and they live happily ever after. This movie solidly contributes to the belief that if you cheat on your girlfriend with a hot chick one day and she doesn’t give you her number, all you have to do is obsess about her for the rest of your life and destiny will eventually bring that person you hardly know but somehow love, back to you. Where she truly belongs… the lotion… the lotion, Kate. “Can Once in a Lifetime Happen Twice?” By definition, no ***** way.
Wedding Crashers
This would be a good date movie, if I were dating another dude. I’d like to begin by saying that Isla Fisher is a disturbingly hot whore bag in this flick, so if your date enjoys watching you helplessly drool over a character that effectively sets the feminist movement back by fifty years, go for it. Second, the love story buried in this series of masterful overgrown frat boy jokes is ludicrous. If you lie about your identity to sneak into a wedding with the intention of boning a drunken rich girl, that girl will NEVER LOVE YOU. She will call the police. This is if her powerful and influential father doesn’t kill you first. Aside from all that, this is a hilarious movie and you can use the conveniently timed romantic scenes to take more hits from the bong. “Hide Your Bridesmaids.” Sounds like a great movie for a date, if she likes motor boating.
10 Things I Hate About You
I am a ***** adult. Give me a break.
I should end that review right there but let me point out a few more things. Late 90’s film with an 80’s soundtrack. William Shakespeare is not rolling in his grave; he has dug himself free and roams the English countryside in search of vengeance. “Romeo, Oh Romeo, Get Out Of My Face”. I’m not kidding, that was one of the taglines. Julia Stiles’ forehead is unnaturally large. Peace.
Now we come to the part of the list where I can somewhat agree.
The Usual Suspects
Kevin Spacey. (Look for a pattern.) Murder. Suspense. A riveting twist. A lot of murder. Girls like murder, right?
Pulp Fiction
Murder. A lot of murder. Man on man rape. Bruce Willis and a hot french chick talk about sex. Cigarettes and heroin. Tarantino’s forehead is unnaturally large.
American Beauty
This is depressing. But I guess it’s a good date movie. Old man obsessed with young girl. Kevin Spacey. A hidden message that crazy gay people will murder you. Five Academy Awards, if that’s worth anything.
Seven
Kevin Spacey. (It’s official. This woman is in love with Kevin Spacey.) Lots of murder. Religious undertones. Brad Pitt. Old school gore porn meets modern suspense.
Whatever. I’m just an *****. - Chicken2nite, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2Usual Suspects, Seven, Pulp Fiction aren't chick flicks. I second True Romance. Awesome movie that has gone unnoticed by most people out there. Gary Oldman, Sam Jackson, Val Kilmer, Christopher Walken, James Gandalphini, Brad PItt, Dennis Hopper, Patrica Arquette and Christian Slater, directed by Tony Scott off of a Quentin Tarantino script. Because it was meant to serve as the end of act one and the first real information to be shared with the audience (similar to his original script for Natural Born Killers where in act one, the audience knows less than any character, act two the audience is filled in, act three the audience knows more than anyone else and hence the dramatic irony for the climax) I'll supply the link to the infamous scene between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iYYZYkM3s0
- artofwot, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2Just for the record... Sin City is not a good date movie. Seriously, I've tried it. It might not have helped that my friend had very little tolerance for blood...
- vspazv, on 12/12/2007, -2/+4No Garden State, no digg.
Also they spelled it “How to Loose a Guy in Ten Days?” - YogiWanKenobi, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2Not even Ron Paul--or Dr. Paul, as his most ardent supporters refer to him--can save that website from the power of digg.
- EspressoNinja, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2Seven? Really? I would never consider that a date movie. It's at about the same level as Silence of the Lambs. If the people you date find torture and murder romantic, then perhaps you need to rethink the relationship.
- Lilitou, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2The only movies on that list that I've seen and enjoyed aren't really date movies. I mean... what makes The Usual Suspects a date movie? And Seven? I could see American Beauty, maybe.
As for most of the others... Ugh. Hugh Grant movies may qualify as mainstream date movies, but few things are more likely to kill my mood than reminders of Hugh Grant's existence. But then, why take advice from someone who can't even copy a movie title correctly? ("How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days?" Complete with inexplicable question mark. C'mon, people. You've got a picture of the box right there.) - Zeabos, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2This list makes no sense. How does the violence in Pulp Fiction and Seven make them date movies. Usual Suspects? There isnt even a girl in the movie. Sure girls enjoy these movies, but I dont think any of them are gonna be getting you and >_>
- ohhoe, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2If a dude wanted to watch Notting Hill with me, I'd be afraid. Very very afraid.
And then I'd get up and leave because he's obviously into dudes and ***** movies. -
