A Guy's Top Ten Date Movies

Pretty Woman
I made a point to avoid this movie for a long time, but I finally caved. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the dialogue is. I still consider Pretty Woman to be a full-on chick flick, but it's my favorite because the lines never feel cheesy.
Why guys like it: It may be a hard sell, but get your guy to watch. It's a good introduction to the world of chick flicks, and he should probably get used to them anyway.
Why girls like it: Richard Gere and Julia Roberts are both at their peak in terms of talent and looks. It's fun watching ice-cold businessman Gere gradually melt for Roberts.
Why you'll both like it: It's sexy, in an early nineties kind of way.

Princess Bride
This is probably the only movie that my fiancée and I enjoy equally. A little action, a little romance and a lot of humor that has somehow stood the test of time.
Why guys like it: The humor isn't gender-specific like in so many chick flicks (see: any movie that has the line "you go, girl!"). Plus, every guy has a soft spot in his heart for Andre the Giant.
Why girls like it: The romance is fairy-tale sweet and free of adult complications. It's never a downer.
Why you'll both like it: There's always something either romantic or funny (or both) happening. It's a lovable movie you can watch over and over and hopefully pass on to your own kids when they start to date. Don't worry, it's PG.
