Nothing's worse than spoiling the mood with an intensely inappropriately flick. May we humbly suggest that you stay away from these films if you'd like to keep the romance alive:
- War documentaries, especially about the Iraq War and its subsequent mismanagement.
- For that matter, any of Michael Moore's films.
- An Inconvenient Truth. Global environmental crises are a bummer. The only thing that rises in the film is the dolly Al Gore uses to demonstrate our skyrocketing carbon dioxide levels.
- New skool Star Wars movies. Just say no to Jar Jar!
- Any movie where an NBA star interacts with animated characters *cough, Space Jam, cough*
- Rambo/Rocky movies. Really, anything with Sylvester Stallone. Gross-a-loss.
- Movies that involve a psycho girl: Single White Female, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, Monster, etc.
- Blazing Saddles. I still haven't seen this, much to many boys' chagrins. I probably never will just to spite them.
- Closer. A movie about deceptive, cheating couples? Don't do it!
- Complicated, plot-driven television shows on DVD. For example, it's really hard to get sexxxy to the 1st season of The Wire.
- Anything with Jean Claude Van Damme/ Steven Segal/ Chuck Norris. I don't care how rad that high kick is. Snore!
What movies would you suggest couples on a date should stay away from?

My worst movie date moment came when my blind date selected Roman Polanski's Bitter Moon, best described as an "anti-romantic opus of sexual obsession and cruelty aboard a claustrophobic cruise ship." Awkward!
I was recently on a date w/ some dude I didn't like all that much and we went to see The Watchmen b/c I'm a bit of a fan. I didn't think they would show Dr. Manhattan's bright blue wang so much or that the sex scene would be so graphic. It made it a bit uncomfortable...esp since I didn't like the guy all that much. :P
*ahem* I made out shamelessly at a showing of "An Inconvenient Truth" at The Ritz.
I just advised a friend last night not to take his new date to see "Scorched" at the Wilma. Amazing play, but not for a first date.
I also made the mistake of seeing The Watchmen with a dude on some sort of quasi-date. It was awkward, I'll give you that.
