Worst first date movies

[Merrick]

In honor of the great Travis Bickle, submit your best worst first date movie idea. Mine would be 'Irreversible'. Anyone who's seen it knows what I mean. That is, unless your on a date with the type of girl who becomes less repulsed by the male gender after watching 7 minute long rape scenes.

[Ekirh]

1. My Ex G/F's Dad took his wife . .

To Apocalypse now on their first date. . .

I always though that was pretty bad.

[Bucky]

2. Kids

Kids will stop you from getting laid. It will stop you from wanting sex for about a month.

[XemaSab]

18. Kids will kill off any sex drive you may have ever thought you had.

That movie scarred me. :(

edit: spelling

[ironflange]

23. Awww, what a heart-warming story!

:scared:

[GaYellowDawg]

[nomorenomore08]

3. Either "Dead Ringers" or "Cannibal Holocaust."

On the other hand, if she actually gets a kick out of either of those, be very afraid.

[begin_within]

4. Men Behind The Sun (1988)

A historically important film, but one which will probably cause you to never have a date with that person again. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093170/

[Lautremont]

5. I once sent a letter to a friend telling him I had enjoyed

"The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover." He took this as a recommendation to take a girl to it on a first date. There was no second date. He was, I think, a little pissed off at me, though I had been perfectly candid about what sort of movie it was.

And yes, I would agree that Irreversable might be the number-one No First Date movie.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. OUCH!

[Merrick]

15. As is Gaspar Noe's other one

"I Stand Alone". Scenes of a man punching his pregnant girlfriend in the gut and later spooning, then shooting his teenage daughter in the neck are probably turn-offs for most girls.

[AlCzervik]

6. Fatal Attraction.

[lost-in-nj]

7. Knocked Up

nuff said..


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

lost

[SPKrazy]

16. ROFL!

:P

yeah i can see that :rofl:

;)

[IronLionZion]

51. HA! I've done exactly that. and we've been together ever since! nt

[NMDemDist2]

8. War of the Roses

[BlueIris]

19. Bwah!

[sazemisery]

9. Looking for Mr. Goodbar

Frightening and a very young Richard Gere.

[Faygo Kid]

69. Ohmigod, you too?

Talk about a "take me home right now" ending!

That one flipped me out so many years ago. Worst movie choice for a date I ever made.

[tigereye]

71. that was a first date film for me

needless to say, it didn't work out.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

75. Seriously scary.

Serious mind-f*ck of a movie.

I actually met Mr. Goodbar! He was a person on the docket in Bankruptcy Court many years ago!
I shit you not.

[tigereye]

99. if you are dating someone who's a movie fanatic or you know you both

like ott, intense films, that would be ok.


But more innocuous fare would probably work better.


I don't actually remember the plot of the film well enough to remember if there was an actual Mr. GOodbar.


Other films: Play Misty for Me or the Eyes of Laura Mars.

[RetroLounge]

11. I took a first-date to see Divine in Lust In The Dust...

Oh, and i married her.

:rofl:

RL

[dpbrown]

12. Sid and Nancy

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091954/

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. "behind the green door" ?

[Dr. Strange]

29. Ha ha!

Um, I mean, I uh...
I have no idea what you're talking about. Is this a foreign film?

[triguy46]

82. I was going to say Deep Throat, but that would give away my age.

[MilesColtrane]

14. "The Libertine"

Starring Johnny Depp, right?

So, I can't go wrong.

Only problem was, it was Johnny Depp in the throes of a degenerative syphilis infection.

[JVS]

46. Awesome

[BlueIris]

17. "Natural Born Killers." (I actually know someone whose date took her to that on their first night.)

Which then became their last night.

[XemaSab]

20. My Own Private Idaho

Yes, I saw this on a date.

The only other movie we saw together was American History X.

My Own Private Idaho was worse though. :P

[DarkTirade]

21. I had a rather interesting first date once...

we went to see Gladiator when it was in the theaters. Wasn't much else playing at the time.

Of course, with the kind of people I tend to date, blood and violence usually isn't a problem. :P

[ironflange]

22. Cries and Whispers

That was a first and last date. Damn it all, she was hot, too.

[SallyMander]

24. The Aristocrats

First date with my now-fiance, no kidding :D

[northzax]

104. i think it's a crucial first date movie

if she's not going to enjoy that, why bother having a second date? she/he certainly won't be any good in bed, so there's no point waiting around for that, and she's not good for a life partner, cause she/he, well, kinda sucks. so why bother sticking around?

[Orrex]

25. Bad Lieutenant

"Fuck you, Darryl Strawberry!"

[Initech]

26. Cujo

[AwakeAtLast]

27. We went to see "Fight Club" - I shit you not!!!

And we've been married for 7 1/2 years.

We, um, had to, um, rent it later on. Seems, um, neither of us actually, um, remembered any of it. :blush:

:yoiks:

[DarkTirade]

83. Oddly enough, most of the people I've dated loved that movie... :P

Hmm... gotta remember that as a potential first date movie in the future...

[Generic Brad]

28. The Barney Movie

First dates really are too early for saying, "I love you. You love me."

[Lilith Velkor]

30. Hannibal

I said it was more appropriate for Valentine's Day than I had thought it would be. He never called me again. :(

[Critters2]

32. Pulp Fiction. Happened to me. nt

[Ishoutandscream2]

31. On Christmas night several years back, went to Schindler's List

Oh my. Great movie, but it sure didn't make the holiday joyous.

[GaYellowDawg]

34. This one happened. Troy.

She said she wanted to see if it stuck to the Iliad at all. After two-plus hours of looking at Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, and Orlando Bloom mostly running around in shirtless or in this sort of male sarong thing that somehow contrived to show off chests and legs simultaneously, I could see her looking at me and thinking, "hell, no." There was no second date.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

76. ummm. Buff men in leather miniskirts. Yumm!!

The audience gasped at Orlando Bloom's nearly full length glory when he was fixing to rape a captive, and then all laughed when she suddenly acted cooperative!!

[Tyler Durden]

35. Straw Dogs

The Susan George anal rape scene followed later in the film by Hoffman's murderous rage cannot help but set the stage for a cozy little necking session.

BOY was that dumb.

2nd on the list: Play Misty For Me. That wasn't a real bright choice either.

[Perry Logan]

36. Any film with Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, or George Clooney in it.

[GaYellowDawg]

42. LOL... see my post #34. nm

nm

[Perry Logan]

44. This leaves us with "Peewee's Big Adventure" as the ideal date movie.

[NewJeffCT]

37. A first date I went on insisted we go to see "Silence of the Lambs"

And, she was not the type you expected to be into that sort of thing from speaking with her - she seemed kind of the sweet & innocent type. I know I asked her, "Are you sure about that?"

It was a while back, but I'm pretty sure we didn't go on a second date.

[mikeytherat]

38. I Spit on Your Grave

mikey_the_rat

[BlueIris]

77. Ladies and gentlemen, the thread is won. Goodnight!

[seemunkee]

39. A Clockwork Orange

A friend of mine did that back in high school.

[kwassa]

40. "Secretary", unless she is into S/M

[NewJeffCT]

41. Had another 1st date movie - "Sleeping with the Enemy"

The movie where Julia Roberts runs away from her abusive and controlling husband and he stalks her across the country.

[hunter]

43. Eraserhead.

It wasn't my choice. I'm not that insane!

Okay, I confess, maybe that wasn't the first movie we saw on a date, but ALL the movies she wanted to see were like that, and I was too infatuated to see she was twisted, and in more ways than that.

:wow:

My wife likes Romantic Comedies best, and I don't think she'd ever want to see something like, say, Clockwork Orange on a date.

Enchanted was nice...

[jakefrep]

45. Waterworld

Been there, done that. Needless to say, it didn't end well.

[JVS]

47. Joe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwBsmSU1WNo&feature=related

[Catchawave]

48. Clint Eastwood/Spaghetti Western era *Triple Feature*

My first date with my husband. What was I thinking ?

[JVS]

50. What's wrong with that? A bit long and boring maybe, but not like it's gonna put the kibosh on...

the relationship.

[Catchawave]

63. LOL, probably not.....38 years later :)

Though he is a pro-war Bush Republican. I should have seen it coming :silly:

[CreekDog]

91. Clint isn't that bad, he's Northern Cal, his wife is a Democrat

He's more libertarian than anything else.

And after the Unforgiven, you can tell that he's no John Wayne. He doesn't sugarcoat things to make people feel better.

[HughBeaumont]

49. Caligula.

Orgies. Beastiality. Decapitation. Disembowelment. Incest. Prostitution. Rape. Fisting. Torture. Infanticide. Who could say "no" to that??

Irreversible robs you of all hope. La Tenia should be dropped feet first in a running helicopter blade.

My roller derby name is Travis Sickle, BTW.

[IronLionZion]

52. 300

She told me it's not a movie she would normally have seen. Then she never spoke to me again.

[Quantess]

53. Most of the movies people have posted

such as a horror movie, or even, I Spit On Your Grave, would not necessarily be a deal breaker. If we had just seen Clockwork Orange, we would have a lot to talk about afterward! Clockwork Orange is my favorite movie anyway.

I think an overly sappy, corny romantic movie would be bad on a first date. I'd feel awkward because the first date is just a getting-to-know-you event, not a promise of love.

[Merrick]

57. good point.

especially about Clockwork Orange, since it's also my default choice when someone asks me that impossible question "What's your favorite movie". Definitely facilitates conversation. Just because it has a rape scene and a bit of ultraviolence doesn't make it a bad first date movie IMO, as long as your date isn't a prude, and if you are and didn't know it, it would perform as a prude detector, making it a great first date movie in either scenario.

[XemaSab]

100. I dunno about that. I don't consider myself a prude,

but that movie made me feel DIRTY, and not in a good way. :scared:

[terrya]

54. "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer"

Trust me, it's NOT a date movie.

[Enrique]

55. "In the company of men" n/t

[Merrick]

58. Definitely

good one.

[sasquatch]

56. John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness

[bif]

59. Saw

[bif]

60. Diary of a Mad Housewife & Monsters Ball

[BlueIris]

78. Wait, someone made a *movie* out of "Dairy of a Mad Housewife"?

Pardon my ankle-biter's ignorance, but I LOVE "Diary of a Mad Housewife"! LOVE it. Someone once made it into a film? That is awesome!

[Hand]

61. Sigh... No... no... no...

The correct answer is... "RESERVOIR DOGS"! Any fool knows that.

Glad that's settled. :rofl:

[JVS]

97. But that movie is awesome!

[mitchum]

62. "Star 80"

[noonwitch]

64. The Boys In The Band (unless you are both gay males)

Not a movie for hetero women.

[rug]

65. If you don't like competition "Better Than Chocolate".

[Bake]

66. "I Dismember Mama"

Yes, that's a real movie.

Bake

[Bake]

67. Oooh! Another one: "Faces of Death" (any of the series)

Those would not be good first date movies.

Bake

[BreweryYardRat]

68. "The Descent."

I went with a friend and his fiancee. He loved it, she had her face buried in his shoulder for 2/3s of the movie. I wound up apologizing to her for not knowing how violent it'd be.

Glad I didn't ask a date to go see it...ah, who'm I kidding. I get a date maybe once every six months.

[cordelia]

70. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf n/t

[leeroysphitz]

72. Rent The Handmaids Tale.

Before you put it in tell your date It's sci-fi set in a utopian future. Later when he/ she tries to correct you by saying it was actually dystopian just stare at her/ him blankly and ask "What do you mean?"

If you get a second date stick with this person. They have a sense of humor that can get them through ANYTHING.

:)

.

[Auggie]

73. The Exorcist. And yes, I really did take a date.

[DJ MEW]

74. Any movie that you actually want to watch.

I was so mad at my then boyfriend when we went to see Ghostrider, I really wanted to see that movie. Instead I had to spend the entire movie fending off his advances.

As a gay couple I would also state that watching Philidephia with your other half is also a mood killer.

[bookworm65t]

79. Lawrence of Arabia

nominated because I took a Turkish man that I was interested in to a theater showing of this flick many summers ago. Wasn't thinking clearly with this one. Kinda killed a budding relationship.

[boston bean]

80. Joe and the Volcano. nt

[Wapsie B]

81. The Killing Fields has gotta be right up there.

:eyes:

[mzteris]

84. Death Wish

That was actually a "first date" movie I went on.

Right after it started - the first "bad" scene, my date looked at me and said, "I'm so sorry. Do you want to leave?"

[SaveElmer]

85. Se7en...

Was her choice...should of been a warning sign...

Actually ended up having a good time though...still kind of a weird choice for a first date movie

[FloridaJudy]

86. John Water's "Pink Flamingos"

Someone honestly took me to it on a first date. It was playing at the Art House. Neither of us had read any reviews beforehand, and thought it would be really classy and meaningful.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069089/synopsis

Needless to say, that was also the last date.

[ashling]

87. When I was young and stupid

I tooka first date to "A Bridge too far"

I'm no longer young ...

[PittPoliSci]

88. i'd like to take a girl to see No Country For Old Men

just to see what kinda reaction i'd get afterwards.

[CreekDog]

89. Dr. Zhivago (nt)

[JVS]

90. Why the hell not?

[PittPoliSci]

92. well, at least it's a good strategy to keep her around into tomorrow...

[CreekDog]

93. i thought that would be self-evident

okay, tell you what, you try it and let us know how that works out.

:rofl:

[JVS]

94. Well, there is the issue of Yuri's infidelity, but is that the alpha and omega of it?

[CreekDog]

95. the alpha and the omega are too far apart in that movie

it's a date-kill, unless you are picking up girls from the poetry slam at the hippie bookstore. then maybe. of course, I cannot sit for the nine or whatever hours long that movie is anyway.

[JVS]

96. Can't you use that as valuable 'making out in the theater' time?

[JVS]

98. The House of Yes

[cemaphonic]

101. Polanski has a few

Knife in the Water - Sort of a savage parody of sexual competition. Not squicky, but will leave you feeling hostile and mistrustful towards both genders.

Repulsion - Great movie, but anyone who wants to get laid after watching it is not someone you want to be around.

The Tenant - Remember in Ghostbusters, when Bill Murray was slimed. That is what this movie does to your psyche.

Also, what's with the mainstream horror and suspense movies being listed? I thought that stuff was classic dating fare.

[Burma Jones]

102. Andy Warhol's "Empire"

It consists of eight hours and five minutes of continuous real time footage of the Empire State Building in New York City.

[sakabatou]

103. Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade

[LynneSin]

105. 9 1/2 weeks

unless you're expecting to score that night
