If you are anything like me, dinner and a movie dates are the catchalls for when you don't have time for anything else, or haven't the inclination to come up with a creative date. Which for most people isn't a problem -- until you have to come up with a date movie that both of you will enjoy.
So stop stressing and pick a flick from this comprehensive list of great date movies, or feel free to email me your suggestion if you think I've missed something crucial.
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
If only we could erase the memories of partners past - what kind of trouble could we get into? In my mind, this is what Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is all about: playing with fate, and fate having a laugh at our expense. Because if we were meant to meet someone, then erasing their existence from one's memory could only lead to -- meeting them again. Or could it?
2. Say Anything
I once saw a gent who'd dressed up as the main character (played by a very young John Cusak) at a Halloween party. With no exaggeration, both men and women flocked to him all night. This film has unmistakable power even nearing its twenty year anniversary - and like the tagline of the film says, "To know Lloyd Dobbler is to love him." Anyone who has watched this movie, does. A great film to see for couples who have struggled to either be or stay together, proving that sometimes love is enough.
3. The Princess Bride
A bit of a Cinderella story that leans more towards the fantastical, The Princess Bridge is a beautiful tale of a grandfather reading a bedtime story to his grandson. From giants to accomplished swordsmen, monsters and princes, this is a movie sure to delight singles and couples everywhere, and is a perfect show for single parent who'd like to involve their children in a movie date night.
4. When Harry Met Shally
Can men and women just be friends? Its a long standing debate, and it couldn't hurt to know how your partner feels about the subject. When Harry Met Sally is now a classic tale of friends who were friends for years, until one of them realized they felt like more than just friends, and went for it. Consequences be dammed, this is a great flick for those who took a risk for a date, or just those who enjoy a decent story and numerous laugh out loud moments about love and relationships.
Waiting for your suggestions.
