7 movies you should pretend to like to impress a woman
Caitlin Colford
There are the stereotypical “male movies” we all hear time and time again: Scarface, The Godfather, Fight Club, Star Wars, etc., but have you ever thought through how to answer the ever prevalent “What’s your favorite movie?” question? Said answers are reflexes, but next time think with your penis, not your brain.
7 The Lost Boys
The originator of teenage vampire flicks. Odds are we won’t immediately catch on but talk about how Kiefer once was a walker of the night. “You’re an old school Twi-hard? No way!” She’ll squeal for Edward’s glistening skin as you’ll go on to mourn the death of Corey Haim.
6 The Brothers McMullen
Man, Ed Burns is one cool dude. This works especially well if your girlfriend has tough Irish Catholic brothers. Say you love this movie and they’ll know they can trust you, then bond with them over a pint of Guinness as your girl watches you from across the room, thinking to herself you’re the one. Talk about luck of the Irish.
5 The Princess Bride
I know you didn’t like this film but we did. C’mon, there’s swords and stuff! We will be in utter heaven when you mutter the words, “Mawwage is what bwings us togwether today…” You may want to study up because this conversation might go on for awhile.
4 Marley & Me
You’re a softy for this flick. Who doesn’t love puppies? Confess that this is truly the only film that has ever made you well up, then break off into a story of your childhood dog passing away to seal the deal. The smarter of us will know you were in it for Aniston, but it’s still worth a shot.
3 The Original Batman
How very vintage of you! Impress the indie gal with your knowledge of the origin of Batman. You first started liking the Caped Crusader when watching the television series in your underwear and flipping through number twelve in the comic book series. And there’s nothing like the do-it-yourself special effects of the cartooned “BOOMS!” and “POWS!” You enjoyed The Dark Knight sure, but you’ll take Michael Keaton over Christian Bale any day.
2 True Romance
This allows you to totally geek out on all Tarantino films as long as in the end you promise to claim your favorite is True Romance. I know your favorite is Pulp Fiction, loving the blood and gore, but you have a soft side for the romantic plot too. right?
1 Wild Card
Ask her the last movie she saw. It makes no difference if you have actually seen the flick as long as you respond with this: “Did you like it?….Me too!” Boom, instant connection and the first thing you have in common. Once she begins to talk about the actual premise change the subject, you already got your star for the day.
