A little back-story. C is my SO, and she is not a movie fan. Since I moved in with her, she's probably watched more movies in the last year than she has in the prior 5 years combined, and that's still not very much, especially compared to my consumption. Anyway, when we watch movies, we both have to agree upon the movie. Of course. That's how it typically works.
But, we also have a "I show you one, you show me one," system in place because she also hasn't seen a large number of movies that I absolutely adore. Lots of stuff from the 1980s, of course. And lots of horror movies.
So, my turn is up next and I'm flip-flopping between two movies from the 1980s that I absolutely love. What do you think, MC?
Time Bandits -- This is the movie that made me interested in movies. My parents took me to this when I was a little kid and it changed my world. I've seen it dozens of times. I love it.
Robocop -- The original, of course. I have a feeling she'll like this better. I've told her her it's a comedy with a lot of cartoony violence.
Some movies I've already shown her:
Evil Dead 2 -- She hated it. HATED it.
Fright Night -- She liked it.
The Ring -- She liked it. (Chosen over Ringu because -- hold on to yourselves -- she doesn't like subtitles.)
Final Destination -- She was kind of "meh," toward it.
Amelie -- She didn't like the ending. Her arguments were pretty on-point, too.
Fight Club -- It was "too dark for her," which I pointed out was ironic, since her previous "show me" movie was The Bone Collector.
Somewhere down the line, I plan to show her Zodiac, which I think she'll really like. It's 3 hours, though, which will be a hurdle for her. She also hasn't seen Aliens. Calm down, Scar. We'll get to it. Thank you for the Blu-Ray. We'll get to it, there there.
