Date Movies of All Time

Best & Worst Date Movies of All Time
By Ron Zvagelsky

If you thought selecting a restaurant or what to do was hard, think again.

The most important decision you can make, one that will make or break the date, is the type of movie you choose to go see. Now if you're already in a relationship or married, the rules of film selection are a little different.

The Golden Rule: Do not go to the movies on the first date. I can not stress this enough. The first date is all about getting to know each other and the movie theater is the last place you'll be able to do that.

The Movie Rental: If you want to watch a movie and your budget is a little tight, consider renting a movie and taking it back home with you. Ten years ago going to a movie would have been affordable, but things have changed. Admission to a film is about $11 and some theaters even offer luxury seating now which can run you a whopping $15 per ticket. Now factor in the cost of drinks ($10), popcorn ($5), candy ($5), and parking ($2). All of a sudden you can find yourself spending upwards of $50 for a movie.

For about a fifth of the cost you can enroll in programs such as NetFlix which allow you to rent an unlimited amount of movies for a low monthly price and no late fees. You simply select the movie you want and they will be mailed to you in a few days. Once you're finished watching them, simply place them in the prepaid envelope and ship them back. It's really that simple.

Watching a movie at home has several advantages:

• You can start and stop the movie whenever you like

• Talk your heart away since nobody will be there to shush you

• You can rent classic or critically acclaimed films which you know are good

• And best of all, it only costs about $5

Here are some films for your consideration that are sure to go over well with your date...
