Beware the "First-Date Movie"!

Many a budding relationship has been stopped cold by movies. That's correct - MOVIES!

Too much violence, foul language, explicit sex scenes, etc.... The results are the same: Your date is ready to abandon all thoughts of a second date!

This Lens provides our readers an opportunity to have an enjoyable evening and enables a relationship to blossom beyond the first date.

Using a simple movie rating - a movie is/is not a "first-date movie", we hope our readers can avert a miserable evening by choosing only "first-date movies".

If we can help just one of our readers from being labeled a "sex-crazed, violent maniac", then we have accomplished our goal.

So, beware the "First-Date Movie" and read on!

- Jerry (aka Fshng84)

Jerry's Movie Recommendations

Jerry's Top 3 Movies for Guys!

Jerry recommends his top three movies for guys, and a brief explanation on why they are recommended.

"Jerry Maguire" is ranked number 1 because it prepares you for a job interview!
- That is, job candidates must maintain a mindset of "help me, help you" to prove they are the candidate of choice.
- As the interview nears completion, the discussion can then shift to "show me the money" talks.
- If all goes well, the hiring manager can close with the comment, "you had me at hello" since having reviewed your solid resume and strong cover letter.

"The 300" is Jerry's second choice because it is built on solid "Guy Movie Principles":
- Against all odds and doomed for failure, the Spartans must fight and die to defend their country. Subsequently, even dead they are victorius.
- Slow motion, fight scenes with blood and gore everywhere. More important, the bulk of the dying is on the side of evil.
- Beautiful women who know their place in society - specifically, as the King departs for war, his Queen sends him off by saying, "Come back with your shield or on it!"

"Patton" with its opening scene - the veteran General in an Old Army Calvary uniform addressing his troops against an American flag background. 'Nuff Said!

Note: There are more movies that made honorable mention, such as the Jason Bourne franchise. But, faced with the challenge to pick only three movies, the three noted above were the end result.

Jerry's Top 3 Movies for a First Date!

Jerry recommends his top three movies for a first date, and a brief explanation on why they are recommended.

"Sleepless in Seattle" is ranked number 1 because it serves as a reminder that someone is out there for you!
- Tom Hanks plays a widower and single parent dad mourning the loss of his wife.
- Meg Ryan is Tom's life partner; they just don't know it yet.
- Tom's son, seeking help for his dad, calls in to national radio talk show and somehow gets his dad to talk live on the show.

"August Rush" is the second choice because it forces home "Sleepless in Seattle's" point but expanded to a Man, a Woman, and a Child.
- Two talented musicians meet, fall in love, and have a one night stand that changes their lives forever.
- The one night stand leads to a child being born. The father has no idea about the child. The mother has the child but is led to believe the baby died in birth.
- The child did not die but was given up for adoption, placed in an orphanage, and spends his life searching for his parents.
- The child has a musical ear for creating songs and decides that they will find him through his music.

"Yes Man" is number 3 but could easily rank higher except it is more comedy than romance. Still it is a definite first date choice.
- Jim Carey lives a life of excuses. Opting to be alone since his break-up with his girlfriend, he has become a social recluse. Deciding to stay at home making up excuses not to join others.
- Than one day, Jim bumps into an old acquaintance who convinces him to attend a seminar. Somehow he agrees to go to the seminar and immediately afterwards Jim begins to experience a new way of life.
- Jim no longer gives excuses but answers "YES" to everything. Great storyline with a ton of possibilities for disaster, humour, and even a relationship.
- In the case of a first date movie recommendation, Jim Carey and Zooey Deschanel's relationship is a great example of what can happen if you don't answer opportunity with excuses but with a "YES, YES, YES!"
