1) Deliverance - The dueling banjos are forever a part of cinematic history, but so is the male rape scene. Unfortunately, feeling creeped out after a movie is over really doesn't get the juices flowing on a date. 2) The Passion of the Christ - Whether you loved this movie or hated it, either way it's a horrible date movie. It's hard to go from appreciating the death of the Messiah, to "Hey, want to go back to my place?" 3) The Accused - This movie's plot revolves around the rape of the main character in the film. Not really a plot that sets the mood for a rememberable evening. Good luck getting past 1st base with this film. 4) Lord of War - This one is here mainly because of personal experience. It's not that it has the typical "bad date" movie plotlines, but for whatever reason it still is one. Take my word for it, rent Garfield instead or something. 5) Pootie Tang - You shouldn't have to apologize for making your boyfriend/girlfriend watch a movie with you, but that's exactly what you will be doing if you choose this one. The only good thing about this movie? It's only 70-minutes long, which means you may still have time to save date night if you make the mistake of watching this movie. 6) Schindler's List - Nazi Germany during World War 2 isn't exactly the most exciting date movie. While it's a great movie, and a must watch, it's just not a good choice for those first few all-important dates. The end with Schindler questioning how many other lives he could've saved makes it especially hard to be in a flirtatious mood once the credits roll. 7) Pauly Shore Is Dead - I almost didn't put this one on the list since it was never released in theatres, but the movie is really just that bad. Having your boyfriend/girlfriend fall asleep before the credits roll is never the ideal way to spend date night. |
