Honestly, to me, a date movie is anything that stimulates thoughtful conversation afterward. Usually performance-driven pieces like Doubt, which we recently Netflixed. Neither of us really enjoyed it, but the performances were outstanding, and we talked about it for a while afterward. Not your idea of a date movie? Let me put it this way: If Holly and I saw The Wolf Man together, there would be nothing to talk about afterward.

Me: "Hey, babe, did you see the way Benicio ripped off that guy's head?"
Holly: (Complete silence)

Bottom line: I've loved horror movies since I was a kid and don't want to hear any criticism. Just like Holly didn't want to hear about Sex and the City sucking. When that movie came out, she waited until I was away for the weekend, and went to see it with a girlfriend. (Holly writes : "BTW, the SATC movie totally sucked.")

I think keeping our guilty pleasures separate is cool. No muss no fuss. In the end, everyone's happy.

I'm curious to hear what other guys think. Does true love mean sitting through a Jennifer Aniston movie or five?
