Got a date at my house on Friday, I need some movie advice...

Ok ye got a 'date' on friday, going out for some drinks then going back to my place to watch a film nd hang out. I need a good film that is thought provoking but also won't put a downer on the mood. Cause this girl isn't like ditsy and stupid like some are, she doesnt watch like legally blonde and that rubbish, she like war films and ww2 and films that make you think.

Initially I was thinking about American History x, but I thought the ending might be a major downer (the kid gets shot)

then I considered Donnie Darko, but I think it is too thought provoking and might just end up confusing the hell out of both of us. ( I havent seen it)

So do any of you guys know any thought provoking films that the ending or parts of it won't be a major downer because it is a 'date' and its hard getting lucky if shes in a state of shock or w/e.

cheers , after the film she'll probably want to kick my ass at cod4 so shell probs b in a better mood after that haha

Do you have a car? In the middle of the fim, get up and say "eh, this movie is boring, lets go have so fun!" then take her somewhere entertaining. Movies are boring for dateslinks136

Thought provoking movies.... There is always the odd choice of Natural Born Killers....

For an actual date though, me thinks you should go for more lighter fare than a "thinker". I am not saying put on fluff or anything, but something with a lighter plot would provide nice background noise for more important things like dinner and conversation. I guess it depends how far into a relationship you are, really.

But to me, No Country for Old Men, Children of Men, Blade Runner, Juno, The Departed, Before the Devil Knows You Are Dead, In the Valley of Elah, There Will Be Blood, and more are all good, deeper movies. If she is a war person, maybe something like starting Band of Brothers? If nothing else there, you have material for a few more date nights.

A little aside, a great gift for any war buff (especially WWII) Is the superb BBC Doc "BBC History of World War II" It is a killer of a documentary. 10 discs, and packed with amazing info.SpruceCaboose

Do you really think Band of Brothers or Children of Men are good "date" movies? You have to get those friggin romantic comedies..

Forgetting Sara Marshall is a funny one, or maybe some other chick flick. You do not want to get a war movie or a movie with alot of special effects and violence. It will not set the mood for her to want to "Uhhhhhh" during the movie :D

ok ideally I was just thinking if there are any 'thought provoking semi-romantic films' ot there that are pretty recent ie post 1998?? that would b perfect :DBrazil_Surfer

dude spoilers for american history x!!!not everyone has seen the movie. Youre lucky I have.blazinpuertoroc

Its a 125cc semi-old honda, its pretty sweet. I just got it recently, the weather has been rubbish lately though for riding. Bikes are deffinitely somewhat of a chick magnet, when you walk around with a helmet you always get looks from the girls. btw i cant remember the exact name of the model. man ur lucky to have two bikes at 17!Brazil_Surfer

I got a Yamaha XT125X and a Honda Varadero XL125. :P The Varadero is off the road now, I got crashed into so I bought another bike.
Loving the XT though, wheel spinning on the icy roads is alot of fun.
Yeah, girls do love bikers, it's because we're cool. 8)
