A Guy's Top Ten Date Movies
A guy's list of the all-time best date movies for any relationship stage.

Enchanted
I can't stand animated movies. I know they all have elements that only adults are supposed to pick up on, but I just don't care about the Shreks, Nemos or Wall-Es of the world. Enchanted breaks out of the pack as an animation come to life that pokes fun at the typical Disney fare.
Why guys like it: In one of many musical scenes, Patrick Dempsey asks if he’s the only one that doesn’t know the song everyone else is singing in unison. I’ve always wondered that about musicals, and Im glad Enchanted can laugh at itself.
Why girls like it: At its core, it's still an animated fairy tale movie. If you like Disney movies, you'll like Enchanted.
Why you'll both like it: It's not uproariously funny, but it has plenty of giggle moments. It would be a good ice-breaker for a first or second date.

Notorious
Hitchcock's Notorious is nothing short of a classic. Cary Grant blackmails Ingrid Bergman into helping him spy on Nazis hiding out after the war, but the two end up falling for each other anyway. Grant must save the woman he loves from the danger he himself put her in.
Why guys like it: It's a smart spy movie with just enough action. Cary Grant is as cool as they come.
Why girls like it: The way Grant and Bergman get pouty with one another masks a genuine affection that's endearing.
Why you'll both like it: Old thrillers are perfect date movies—less gore, more romance and all of the jump-into-each-others'-arms suspense.
