The last time was an extended post on Ryan Gosling’s movies. The list was a gushy one and didn’t include his badass moments. Moreover, the movies aren’t part of the latest Vertis North movie schedule. If you aren’t a fan of the said actor, don’t worry. There are thousands of movies annually meaning there are millions of films you haven’t seen in this lifetime.
Unfortunately, not all movies are worth your time. Some of them aren’t fit for the occasion. Watching shows with explicit content won’t help ease the tension between you two. At the same time, a film with a lot of sexual innuendoes won’t get you a second date. If you want to get over the friendzone fence, here are twenty movies that *may guarantee the next date. That is if you AVOID them.
The Drama Bomb
These movies are those heavy on drama. Some of these movies have a long-winded plot and contain characters whose names are difficult to pronounce. These films require your attention which may not be a good thing since it deviates your focus from your date. At the same time, the motion picture causes you to tear up. It’s a no-no especially if you have an ugly crying face.
1. Black Swan
The story is about Nina, a ballerina consumed by her profession. She spends most of her time practicing dances or living with her over-controlling mother. The upcoming production of Swan Lake put pressure on her as she gains competition from a newcomer, Lily. The pressure from her mother on top of perfecting her role as the ‘Black Swan’ opens up her Pandora’s box – a dark side that slowly consumes her.
The movie is Rated R for drug abuse, sexual content, disturbing images and language. The fear and character disturbance in the film isn’t exactly impressive (unless that’s your kink).
2. Erin Brockovich
Julia Roberts’s silver screen portrayal of the real-life story is notable and must-see. Unfortunately, the plot won’t exactly put you in the right mood – especially if you’re on the female empowerment bandwagon. Her involvement in a tiny law firm by leading one of the biggest class action lawsuits against a multi-billion dollar company is as real as it gets. The way Erin interviews and gathers information on the matter shows her values and her hard work.
Erin Brockovich is an unemployed single mother. Limited opportunities exist during those years for women with colorful pasts. But if it weren’t for them, the world won’t be where it is now.
Blockbuster Franchises
The downside of a movie franchise is the need to follow through. You must watch all or the latest installments at least to be up-to-date of the story. It’s if both of you are fans of movie installments. If not, this is not the time to introduce them to Narnia, Hogwarts, or Wakanda.
3. Marvel Cinematic Universe
4. DC Extended Universe
5. The Lord of the Rings
6. Fast and the Furious
7. Pirates of the Carribean
8. Harry Potter
9. James Bond
10. Star Wars
11. Transformers
12. X-Men
Past the Two-Hour Mark
Most films are two hours long or less. However, some exceed the mark to include the elements they want to see on screen. If the movie is multi-genre like Forrest Gump, then go ahead. Still, sitting for a long time can make your butts go numb or get chills from the theater’s supercharged AC. Most of all, you’ll get bored if you aren’t interested in the film.
13. The Godfather I and II
14. Pulp Fiction
15. Schindler’s List
16. Titanic
17. Avatar
18. The Wolf of Wall Street
19. The Patriot
20. Boyhood
It’s easy to remember which is which. The tearjerker is films which touch your heart and makes you curl in bed with a bowl of popcorn. Epic franchises unleash the geek out of you. You can recite each character’s history and background. You read or write fanfictions of your OTP (one true pairing). Last but not the least, the long and monotonous films that may tackle subjects outside the boundaries of your interest.
