Best Date Night Movie-Advice Please?

[LaneyDoll]

Ok, I recently met someone that I really like and she and I have a "stay at home" movie night planned. We prefer to watch a romantic movie but want one targeted towards lesbians. I have "Loving Annabelle" and "Imagine Me and You." She has two that I cannot remember the names of but will recognize them if I see them. Neither one of us has seen the movies owned by the other and neither is opposed to watching their own movie again.

So, can anyone make any recommendations, even if they include the titles I have already listed?

Thanks so much!!!

Oh, and my apologies if this is in the wrong area. I was not sure where to ask this :)

It's very sexy and romantic.

I loved Loved LOVED this movie. ....great story, VERY funny, believable dating situations and between two brothers, too. What a great movie!

I'd also suggest The Goodbye Girl....it's a very good movie, starring Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason......

I like both movies and think of them as in a genre of romantic situations involving people who are single and want to date or be in a committed relationship with each other. Although both movies do not involve Lesbian or Queer romantic scenarios, I think both romantic movie situations are believable situations anyone of Gay, Lesbian or Queer orientation can relate too.

[homoe]

I would also suggest The Mirror Has Two Faces 1996....stars: Barbra Streisand, Jeff Bridges, Lauren Bacall, George Segal, Mimi Rogers, Pierce Brosnan, Elle Macpherson, and Brenda Vaccaro.


A shy, middle-aged professor enters into a romantic but non-physical relationship with an unlucky-in-love colleague.

No taxi in our town, so mom told me to always have a dime in my pocket!

Of course that is when there were pay phones, and you could make a call for one thin dime!

[Femmewench]

I don't have a single movie to recommend. I think it depends on the mood you want to be in when you leave the theater or living room.

Even when I know it's coming, I react to scary parts that are sudden. I jump in my seat; I squeal: I squeeze my date's hand hard enough to hurt me. That will usually lead to some protective cuddling (and possibly a quiet chuckle from the butch.)

Don't take me to a romantic movie with a tragic ending. I'll be sobbing. That's cathartic but not fun.

Action movies which don't dwell on blood and guts can be fun. I usually leave energized.

I love sci-fi, and if it combines scary stuff (think Alien the first time that thing pops out of someone's chest,) I'm in heaven.

And I love kid's movies, but they'd be so much better seen with a Daddy/i. They tend to make me a lil sad there's not one with me.

I don't know if this is good advice or not, I heard it was good...on Amazon prime, the film is 'Good Dick', and it's supposedly, "a quirky love story". I'm watching it tonight.

Any of the Star Trek films........in fact, pick 'em all up. That will make sure your date lasts awhile. lol

[Gráinne]

The Crying Game: Jaye Davidson, Stephen Rey, Forest Whitaker, Miranda Richardson

Not really a lesbian movie, nor is it "feel-good", but one of my favorites. IRA agents, including Fergus (Rey), kidnap Forest Whitaker's character and before he dies, Fergus agrees to visit his girlfriend in London (Davidson). There's a twist that shocked audiences in 1992 but today would be "Oh, ok".

LOVED the Abyss.......Rotten Tomatoes, not so much!




IMHO Rotten Tomatoes caters mainly to more modern and mainstream movies! If you're seeking reviews on older classics movies or those off the beaten path of yesteryear, finding some on their site is going to be few and far between! Also they don't offer nearly as much info on cast members, script writing credit, directing credit, etc etc as IMDb does for instance.

While Rotten Tomatoes may be fine as an appetite, for my main meal I'll always need to look elsewhere.......:movieguy:

Ah, that flick would be great! Great music and an instant "IQ meter" so you don't have to waste a second date on...how can I say it PC...ok, a chick who is not one's equal. Lack of/disuse of brain neurons is the biggest turn off.

My choice would be either the new flick about RBG's life or maybe Fantasia on mind altering substances OR pretty much your pick of college MN movies.
