She's lived in China for most of her life so I don't think she's familiar with cult classics. The good thing is that means it's her first time for most of my movies. We ended up going with Back to the Future. She seemed to enjoy it but she had a bit of trouble following it. Her English isn't great.
A couple of days later we watched Back to the Future 2. She tried to tell me that's not what 2015 was like
I realise Back to the Future is pretty mainstream but considering it's banned in China it's not mainstream for her. Later I'm going to show her My Fair Lady because I feel like Henry Higgins trying to teach her English. We're having a real Pygmalion romance.
She really seems to enjoy watching movies with so I'm sure we'll get to watch a few of the ones on your list. Later I want to take her to the old fashioned cinema in my town. The one where they play the Wurlitzer before the movie starts.

Have you all watched the Princess Bride? That's a fun movie. Titanic is a good one too - not too sappy, great film to watch even if you hate romantic movies (like me).

I was wrong. She doesn't like watching movies with me. She likes being with me but she doesn't like watching my movies. She's been getting increasingly distracted while we're watching movies. She'll often start looking at her phone during the most important parts of the movie.
Recently, while we were watching a movie I started playing a video game on one of my other TV sets and she became far more interested in watching me playing the game than in the movie. Maybe that could be our new activity.
Tonight I showed her one of my favourite movies. 2001: A Space Odyssey. I don't think she liked it much at all. Maybe she didn't understand it. Her English isn't very good. I was thinking of showing her Metropolis but perhaps she won't like that either.
I'm beginning to think that maybe she just doesn't like old science fiction movies. She said she likes romance movies but the only romance movie I can think of is Passengers. Could someone recommend some really good romance movies?

This whole thread has been quite amusing.. I just skimmed it now & it's chock full of recommendations of movies that would be GREAT to watch with your guy friends, not so much "date movies," that females enjoy.Also, I was a bit surprised to not see THE most often recommended "date movie," ever make anyone's recommendation list so far.. it was such a common date movie that it even had a bit of a pop-culture phrase coined after it as people would say that nothing compares to "Notebook sex," as the movie would, apparently, get women in the emotional state of mind that made them want to have fantastic sex with their partners.

Well were're not going to recommend films we don't like. I haven't seen the notebook but it's written by the same guy as the horse whisperer one and that was boring as s**t.
So what you are looking for is films with lots of scenes with the heroin looking miserable because she's not been made to feel loved, followed by some crying to show off that she has the full set of proper female emotions, followed by some pointless self sacrifice and a deluge of more emotions rammed down everyone's throats to make them feel bad, followed by some more tears. Will you be watching these films with her
