Film advice

[lifetime fan]

Watch old episodes of Bullseye...she'll get it eventually.

[Champ]

And now the request for the bread recipe becomes clear....and my suggestion to make brownies becomes even more appropriate

 

 

Go all high brow and watch Don't Look Now or Let the Right One In.

 

edit: Or American Werewolf In London. Quality.

 

Don't Look Now was my first thought but American Werewolf is a great shout. Dated...but in a good way and would give you loads to talk about.

 

The Orphanage or Pan's Labyrinth. The Woman in Black. I'm suggesting ones that ain't shit your pants scary but are good thriller/horrors.

 

How-ever, I have heard Woman in Black is very good and proper scary....although that could go either way.

High Tension

 

or A Serbian Film

Chitty Chitty bang bang, make of it what you can

I was traumatised by that film as a child (I feel a bit queasy from just reading the title). If I was her I wouldnt even let you put it on

I was thinking of the truly scrumptious bit rather than the child snatcher and benny hill.

Mordum will get her sopping wet.

Are you sure a horror is the best idea Lurtz? Speaking from experience, its not a genre I would go for when its early days relationship-wise.

 

How about something conversation-provoking (Being John Malkovich, Donnie Darko, Usual Suspects, Memento - something along those lines). If you don't think thats a good idea for whatever reason, then some frothy romantic blockbuster shite. If she's a good sort, you win serious man points for sitting through a chick flick.

 

If it has to be horror, avoid gratuitous gore, aim for psychological tension. The original Psycho, maybe?

[A Red]

Ruthless People?

[The Golden Eel]

Are you thinking of killing her after you watch it?

[mrw74]

How about "Man bites Dog" or "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari"

[Champ]

Why a horror?

 

Come on Lurtz, you havent answered this and I have to say, on its own in a relationship just finding its feet, shall we say, its a curious choice

[Remmie]

The oldest trick in the book, while she is being a massive girly jessie, he can put his arm round her/down her top/two in the pink one in the stink.

[Scott_M]

Download the new Evil Dead film.

[llego]

It sounds like shes cheating on you to be honest.

[Anny Road]

Don't watch anything that you will have to explain over and over again. Tried to watch the Godfather with the wife once 'Who's he again' 'Why did he say that' 'What did he shoot him for'.

I'd stick to something with Hugh Grant in I and have a wee doze before shagging.

[Trumo]

Meanwhile, later this weekend...

 

[setreal]

Sleepaway Camp. Watch it yourself first, if you don't know it so that the ending won't take you by surprise.

Haha. How is your long distance relationship?

 

 

I have got that right. Havent I?

Are you mad? Have you ever watched a film with a woman?

 

I've watched all of those films while sitting with my wife, and have on every occasion come extremely close to punching her on the nose for asking question after question about what's happening, who that is, why have they done that?

 

I don't fucking know woman! Watch the film and find out! A bit like I'm trying to do, but am finding difficult because some fucknugget keeps asking me questions I don't know the answer to!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And breath...

[VladimirIlyich]

Why is it women cannot just sit and watch a film without asking questions about it?

The point of a good film is to keep you guessing and make you think a bit but not to woman it isnt.

And Lurtz likes his films. Just saying

Women like to be in control.

 

Therefore not knowing/understanding what's going on is a threat to what they view as their omnipotence, but what the rest of us (ie men) consider to be their borderline psychotic control-freakery...

[Pureblood]

Another vote for Frailty. Brilliant movie.

 

Don't watch American Werewolf. No woman can compete with the raw seductive power of Agguter, so she will immediately feel inferior. She's bound to have seen it before as well.
