    Okay, it was our second date but "Wolf Creek" was definitely not his sort of film. Head on a stick..he hasn't forgotten it..
    Can't have been too bad given we're engaged now and that was nearly eleven years ago.

    Oh, man! I remember watching that on DVD with an ex about 8 years ago. We also saw "Last House On the Left" in the cinema. Bad choices!

    Funnily enough my now wife and I went to see Killer Joe on our second or third date.

    It was a good litmus test before i told her i was into really extreme cinema.

    There's a niche selection of girls that would enjoy these as "first date movies" but for the majority....

    Pi
    Brazil
    Primer
    2001
    Any TOS/TNG Star Trek movie
    50s-80s sci-fi (Planet of Apes, Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, etc.)

    They're all too slow paced, odd or just plain nerdy to set a tone of fun, romance or fear :p

    Eyes Wide Shut. I know this from experience (wasn't quite a first date, but near enough).

    Boys don't cry.

    It was our first date but definately not a film for throwing an arm around the shoulder. Still together 16 years later though :D

    No need to specify girls there, I like a lot of those but I'd ****ing hate to go to any of them on a date. :D

    'Irreversible' wouldn't be a great choice.

    Yeah, it's already been mentioned but Irreversible would definitely top the list of inappropriate first date movies for me. Such a brutal, disturbing film that doesn't leave you for a very, very long time. I think I saw it about ten years ago and even now the mention of that word makes me feel uncomfortable.

    Just finished watching Shame and it got me thinking....

    What would be the absolute worst film to watch on a first date?


    Shame
    Kill List
    Anti-christ

    The best would be scary film she'll be latched onto you all night :)

    Three films I've seen on early/first dates;

    Snakes On A Plane

    Oblivion

    Filth



    Surprisingly, Oblivion was the worst of the lot.

    I have no first date film errors but I did somehow get my wife to watch Dead Snow on Valentines one year. That was the last time I got to choose a date night movie ;)
