  ...Blue Velvet would ratchet up a suitor's cachet several notches.

  I'd be pleased indeed to discover that a date liked David Lynch movies..Blue Velvet is one of my favorite films. I'd also hope he'd also feel Mulholland Drive was a return to form for DL.

  Reqiem for a Dream, interesting choice, but I'd need lots of chocolate to get through that again, and then Burstyn's diet pill thing would make me twitchy, so yes, maybe we'll scratch that one. Crash just has too many, er, crashes, so perhaps we could opt for something by Peter Greenaway instead, say Draughtman's Contract, Prosperso's Books or Cook Thief et al. Not Pillow Book, I'd be thinking about Ewan all night. Maybe we could compromise with Amorres Perros? (spelling?)

  OTOH, if a guy wanted to take me to a Nosferatu & Freaks double bill I'd be a happy camper. I'd be delighted if a first date wanted to see Memento - plenty of opportunity for conversation after the show. I'd be thrilled if he professed affection for genre fare like Lord of the Rings and Dark City and Blade Runner.

  NOW...if a guy could love the genre stuff, and enjoy Chaplin, Cocteau, Renoir, Ford, Sturges, Fellini, Altman, Scorsese and Jane Campion, hell, I might marry him.

  Anything by Luc Besson or Paul Verhoeven would be grounds for divorce.

    Hey, 'Diva' by Luc Besson was pretty good. It even had nice hi-fi (a Nakamichi 600 cassette deck) in it. I would rather see it again than sit thru' anything featuring hobbits or elves.
    Apart from those small lapses I thought that your selections were excellent. Why is it that I only meet women who want to see the new Tom Cruise movie?

• Blue Velvet, Crash, Salo, Requiem for a Dream-you guys are too much.. - padreken 18:16:32 01/10/02 (1)

  I thought Blue Velvet was a good film, although I wouldn't care to watch it again-to this day, hearing Roy Orbison sing In Dreams brings that scene to mind. I made it halfway through Crash before turning off the DVD player-what a ridiculous film. Salo-faggedaboudit. You'd have to do the Clockwork Orange thing on me to get me to watch that.

    Then I recommend the whole series of Pasolini's light-hearted "classical" commedies. Decameron, Arabian Nights, etc. Love them. Tons of fun and enough sexual innuendo to get that first date off the start line.

  I suggest renting "Crash" or "Requiem for a Dream" and cozying (sp?) up to each other.

  On a first date, you'll have to demonstrate that you're willing to sacrifice your preferences, cross over the line and watch a 'chick flick.' Of last year's releases, "Amelie" and "Bridget Jones's Diary" fit the bill well.

  OTOH, if your first date likes "Salo," "Blue Velvet," and "In The Realm Of The Senses," I hope you don't bruise easily.

  Maybe you should just forget about my advice and see if she and you share the same tastes. You won't have to live with the lie later. Who knows, she might love "Memento."

• Best first date movie: the Big Blue - brewthunda 14:14:15 01/09/02 (1)

  Don't ask me why, but the Big Blue seems to be the best first date movie ever. It's actually not half bad, with Jean Reno and all the competition diving scenes . . . and it puts the ladies in the perfect mood.

    The Director's Cut is even longer and more tortuous than the U.S. release version.

  But between the Salo and Realm of Senses you should be all set.

  Do not settle for half-measures, shoot for the stars.
