need a compromise movie

[futuredivot 0]

First-we read so we're clueless on veg in front of a movie but that's what we're going to do tonight. What's a good compromise movie. something a lady will like but won't be so estrogen soaked that I can't take it. Thanks

You might try;

Pirate Radio
The Men Who Stare at Goats

Not widely available any more;
The Invention of Lying

All are quade tested and approved.

I can't in my wildest imagination think of going to see "Twilight: New Moon". Unless it takes the top box office three weeks in a row at which point I'll more or less be forces to see it just to see what others see in it.

Checked out Pirate Radio-that would be a good one but it's still in theaters. Anything along those lines to rent? You've been the best source so far

So, you're looking for something good on Netflix Instant Streaming or do you live next door to the one remaining video rental house in the country?

So hard to know what might be in your rental store!

Do you know if they have a classics section or is most of the stuff recent popular titles?

Yeah, even Alabama football coach Nick Saban appeared as himself, when he was the LSU coach and recruiting Oher.

But then, this is a football/life story. He's looking for something both he and the wife can squirm through together.

Rachel Getting Married is not too estrogeny (fairly dark for a "wedding" movie)

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang has something for everyone

American Dreamz is hilarious.

I saw that after I had posted. Maybe, they'll change their minds & go watch the real life story.

Oh, it's got plenty of chick-friendly elements as well. I LOVED the book and am looking forward to the movie. However, it doesn't meet divot's "available on video" criteria.

So you need a good movie that has been out for a long time and is likely to actually be in stock/available.

Have you seen Forest Gump?

or

As Good as it Gets?

They are both on my all-time favorite list.

I will start with those (can't believe anyone hasn't seen either of them, but taking a chance you might be the first I have actually come across. )

If you both have seen those, I can suggest others in the mainstream--but awesome--genre.

If you are looking for something a little less mainstream--but still a widely-praised flick--definitely get Little Miss Sunshine (also one of my all-time favorites).

I am assuming you are inquiring about what you might find in a rental store vs. a rental box (i.e. whatever you call those Blockbuster machine thingies in your local grocery store); no telling what might be in one of those.

If surprisingly you love indie flicks or some other genre, let me know.

I love movies. I do not watch much television anymore, either.

If you haven't seen "Up" then you're missing out. Yeah its animated, but like most every other Pixar film, its a good one.

"Burn After Reading" is hilarious.

"Big Fish" if you haven't seen it, needs to be watched.

Trekkies. It should be available at the video store, and it's a riot.

One of my all-time favorites is My Cousin Vinny.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

While I have not seen Big Fish, I would have to adamantly disagree with your review of the other two.

We watched Up last Tuesday (Netflix is AWESOME at DVDs arriving in my mailbox the day they are released). The only funny parts were Doug-related (cone of shame! ). The beginning was SO slow. Finding Nemo, Shark's Tale, Shrek--these are awesome animated films. Up made me feel so bad for that make-a-wish kid that got to see it before it had been given the final touches/was complete.
