...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.
