10 Best Romantic Date Movies

December 5th 2009 13:35
Depending on what movies you and your partner enjoy, you'll probably find that your favorite date movies may be different from another person's. Some people prefer drama over comedy, or chick flicks over action, so you know what? The best date movies will vary for everyone.

It's not as simple as you think to come up with a list of the best date movies ever without listing most of them, excluding kids movies, many family movies, scary movies, and depressive movies. That's just my opinion. You may feel that your favorite movie to watch with your date is a family movie, that's just your opinion.


If you're looking for a romantic date movie, you may want to consider one of the following 10 movies.

1. "Love Actually" - Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley
2. "Knocked Up" - Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl
3. "The Princess Bride" - Robin Wright Penn, Cary Elwes, Chris Sarandon, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, and Christopher Guest
4. "Sleepless in Seattle" - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
5. "While You Were Sleeping" - Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman
6. "Notting Hill" - Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville, Emma Chambers
7. "Bull Durham" - Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins
8. " A Knight's Tale" - Heath Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon
9. "Ever After" - Drew Barrymore as Danielle and Dougray Scott
10. "Shakespeare in Love" - Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes



As you can see, these movies range are all over the board, but there is at least one for everyone.

Watching Chick Flicks

March 12th 2009 12:51
Chick flicks were once known as "Women's Pictures." Essentially, a chick flick is a movie where the main focus is that of the female character versus the male character. The men play the secondary roles, basically.

Most chick flicks involve a main romantic interest, tragedy, an idyllic plot, or some mix therein, which is where they appeal to most females. Personally, I love a good chick flick, even though I am not always a girly girl. It's hard to not like them, when there is almost always a happy ending, except of course in the tragedies.

You'll find that in most cases, male viewers are not interested in these movies, as they prefer action, mystery, and suspense plots, but that doesn't mean that once they see the movie, they won't like it in the end.


Chick flicks make great date movies, as long as the female wants to see the particular movie. I know I've swung a few chick flicks during dates. My boyfriend even enjoyed "He's Just Not That Into You," and I know a number of males who have enjoyed "Knocked Up." It's possible for a male to enjoy a chick flick, but if you give them he option of an action movie or a romantic story, they'll more often than none pick the action movie.

The main thing that should be remembered in regards to chick flicks, is that they're not all sad and sappy, you can have comedy chick flicks that just so happen to have a main romance interest, such as with "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "40 Days and 40 Nights."



Some of the best chick flicks include:

* "Erin Brockovich" which focuses on the female character as a strong, leading role.
* "Notebook," "A Walk to Remember," and "Nights in Rodanthe" are all Nicholas Sparks books made into movies.
* "The Bridges of Madison County"
* "Serendipity"
* "Runaway Bride"
* "Calender Girls"
* "Titanic"
* "Sweet Home Alabama"
* "Pretty Woman"
* "Bridget Jones' Diary"
* "Sleepless in Seattle"
* "While You Were Sleeping"
* "Steel Magnolias"
* "Sweet November"
* "I Am Sam"
* "Under the Tuscan Sun"
* "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"
* "Romeo and Juliet"
* "Legally Blond" Series

Valkyrie is Not a Date Movie

March 2nd 2009 14:11
So my boyfriend and I went out last night, and decided to see a movie. He'd been wanting to go to the cheap $1.50 theater all weekend since we've seen all the good movies at the regular theater, and we finally had a chance to go.

We wanted to see "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey, but it wasn't playing anymore, so we decided to see "Valkyrie" with Tom Cruise. Now, it's a pretty good movie, I'll definitely give it that, but it's just not the best date movie.

I could see a group of guys going to watch the movie, but war movies, especially war movies about Hitler just aren't the best date movie. Now, for a female, I'll have to admit I do like war movies, but I find them more along the lines of good movies to rent and watch at home versus go to the theater and watch.

Plus, it's kind of a mood killer to find that they didn't succeed in killing Hitler, but of course that was assumed when going into the movie that Hitler wasn't going to die. I mean look at history and how that went- tons of attempts but all failures...

But, anyway, I guess I was hoping for more of an upbeat ending. I mean, take "Taken" with Liam Neeson, for instance. That's a slightly better date movie, even though the girl gets kidnapped, sold, and nearly prostuted out. It had a happy ending, and movies with happy endings are much better date movies.

So, all-in-all "Valkyrie" is a good movie, but it's just not a movie that makes a good date.
