Worst Date Movie Ever
I'm going to be off games for a few days so I thought I'd set you a fun question while I'm away: what's your nomination for the worst date movie ever? I actually was once taken on a first date to see Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore's documentary about gun culture and high school murders in the US. Reading reviews of new films this week, it occurs to me that this could easily be beaten by a romantic trip to see grim Romanian abortion movie 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days. Any improvement on that?

I took my friend Lucy to see "The Aristocrats"... seemed to go well.
My first ever date with a boy was to see Rocky II which apparently he thought I'd like. He then took me to see Kramer v Kramer, just so he could tease me for crying. Which I didn't. The relationship foundered soon after.
I think a bit of no no for me now would be to be taken to see 300 as a first date. When I've got to know him, when we've established that I like gore filled fests based on comic books, maybe yes. But until that moment arrives I want something nice and fluffy and light - Enchanted would do....
Years ago, they used to show a B-movie before the main feature - my very first date took me to see Friday the 13th (hardly romantic anyway, I hate horror films) but before it came on we had to sit through a seemingly endless soft-porn film, called Goodbye Emanuelle. Mortified doesn't even begin to sum up how I felt...
I saw "The Man Without a Face" starring Mel Gibson, on a first date, which nowadays would be a documentary on Five.
Nedless to say, the relationship didn't last even though my date had a face and I was quite keen on it at the time.
I once took a girl to see Mermaids on a date. I can't remember much about the film apart from how cute Winona Ryder was looking. Anyway, there is a scene in which Christina Ricci (before the days you were allowed to fancy her) almost drowns.
My date was convulsing with the most violent crying fit I have ever seen and would not respond to any offers of assistance, she didn't want to leave, she didn't want anything.
I was baffled.
Turned out her kid sister had drowned the previous summer.
Not my finest hour.
My husband and I (yes, married people still like to "date")went to see "Schindler's List". On Valentine's Day. I got through the film by telling myself: "Okay, just twenty more minutes and you can go," all through the movie. Afterwards, we walked home through the dark streets wordlessly. Now, it's not like we didn't know what the film was about; I think, as parents of little ones, that it was our one opportunity to see it, but since the topic is "worst date movie", I think this can be submitted, right? Fabulous film; never want to see it again.
I once invited a girl on our first date to come round and watch uber-dark existentialist freak-show 'Eraserhead' by David Lynch, a film so disturbing I've never watched it again...
...however, 10 years later I'm still going out with the girl, so it must have done the trick.
Bad date movie... Silence of the Lambs. If the idea was that I would cuddle up to him in girlish terror it didn't work, as he was wearing an oiled wool jumper that smelt very strongly of sheep (which I don't think was a cleverly themed choice). Ah, the romance.
Fenner and I went to see The Mission on our first date. Didn't leave us in a very cheeful mood.
Just remembered that early date with the husband was in seedy Liverpool cinema in the afternoon full of oiky teens. Husband had just finished exams and was worse for wear. I wasn't. His choice of film? Day of the Dead - or some other zombie flick, the exact title escapes me.
Impressed? NO....
But as he also took me to see Hellraiser, Silence of the Lambs etc etc I got used to it!
Back in the mists of time, many boyfriends ago, it seemed like a good idea that our first date movie should be "Sex, Lies and Videotape".
Uncomfortable doesn't begin to cover it.
Worst date movie? I dimly recall meeting a woman with indie rock tastes to go out for a nice meal and then see True Stories (David Byrne's only film as writer/director if memory serves). A rather cloying male flatmate somehow invited himself along for the evening leading me to wonder by evening's end who was the Third Wheel. The film itself was typical, for the time (mid-80s), a blend of art school pretension mixed with moments of inspired eccentricity. By evening's end, I couldn't tell if my date hated me or not such were the weird vibes of the uninvited movie goer. To add irony to insult, the same woman and I did get together a few months later and actually had a pleasant few weeks of dating. Her annoying flatmate has by then packed all his possessions into a car to drive across country to start teacher's college. Such is the stuff of which dating folklore is woven. There are a million stories in the Naked City, etc. etc.
On our second date, Dunc took me to see Sitcom. For those of you who haven't seen this, the main themes are incest and murdering your entire family. Nice!
I actually went on a first date aeons ago with Judy Finnegan (of Richard and Judy infamy, although this was long before her Richard days).
Keen filmgoer that I was, I was rather keen to see the new Ken Russell film, which happened to be The Devils...
What with rabid naked nuns, flaying, Oliver Reed tortured and other sundry felicities, she never agreed to go on another date with me.
Ahhhh.....
when i read 'off games' i thought - well, never mind what i thought. but it would be an unusual thing to post on your blog!
Not my doing, but a good friend went to the flicks on a first date and chose the David Cronenberg remake of 'The Fly' as the entertainment. There was no second date.
And not a date per se, but I once went to see a film with a friend, who'd invited a pal of hers along. Before I met the pal - and because I tend to say the wrong thing - I asked if there were any subjects we should avoid, in case I caused offence.
"Adoption and parent issues," came the reply.
The film was Secrets and Lies, by Mike Leigh. Still, at least Mike was to blame for making the post-film cup of tea awkward, and not me...

Don't know about the rest of you but by my calculation, Scott wins.
I rather think I do, don't I?
