"Girlfriends are not allowed to choose movies"

Because they know nothing about films, and will ruin a potentially good evening out.

"What's playing tonight?" says she
"At Warner there's Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Back"
"I've got a pass to UGC at Hammersmith, what's there?"
"Atlantis."
"What?"
"Rubbish Disney cartoon. Bandits, with slow-talking Billy-Bob Thornton, The Others with rubbish Nicole "Career because of my ex-husband" Kidmana and Heist"
"Oooh, Nicole Kidman. And it won't cost me anything"
"Jay & Silent Bob are on at Warner, and there's no Nicole Kidman in it."
"But The Others sounds good."
"I will not give my money to Nicole Kidman."
"What about Atlantis?"

Jesus woman, I'll pay for the tickets - just don't go watch rubbish because it's free.
It's still rubbish.

Gah

I know movies, she trusts me, but she is intent on watching crap because it's free crap for her.
She ain't getting any tonight as punishment.

The Heist. I wanna see that. With Gene Hackman right?

Of course I also want to see

Jay and Silent Bob Strike back
The Pledge
The Score
Lord of the Rings
Rollerball (when's that out by the way)
The Man who Wasn't There


And I'm sure there are more.

It's true, last time I let a girl friend choose the film, I ended up watching Disneys the sodding Dinosaur.

Man Who Wasn't There... meaning to see that. By your chestbeating proudness of choosing said film, I'd guess it was pretty good then, huh? ;0)

Well i thought Evolution was pretty good, but your wright about the others (not the film i mean the other catagories, although you can put the film in there if you want).

Films I've chosen to watch:

Planet of The Apes
Jay & Silent Bob
The Yards
Shawshank
Crouching Tiger
The Man Who Wasn't There

Films she's chosen to watch:

Evolution
Moulin Rouge
U571

I rest my case.

I'm not alone in my dislike for Kidman then? Excellent!

After I took my wife to see Lost In Space she refused to let me choose which films we went to see for a while.

You tell 'er Goaty.
