I just watched, “Truly, Madly Deeply.” One of the graet romantic movies. And it got me thinking. When you start getting “serious” with someone, what movie do you want to watch with them to see if he/she “gets it”?
Mine are:
Love Potion Number 9
Nice Girls Don’t Explode

Casablanca
Harold and Maude
The Apartment
The Silence of the Lambs (just kidding)

Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human - if she laughs during it, you know you’ve got a keeper!
Starship Troopers - an ex-girlfriend of mine loved this movie. I thought that made her pretty cool.

On our third date, Mr. Rilch suggested **Reservoir Dogs** , which was **the** film at the time. He told me much later that that had been a test: if I’d been game for it, we would get along. I was, and we did.

I should point out I’m a guy.

Any Kevin Smith movie. Or, better yet, the Clerks cartoon DVDs. If she doesn’t get it, kick her out. She’ll only bare you devil children.

The lead, [Michelle Meyrink](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Meyrink,+Michelle), was once romantically linked with Crispin Glover :eek:. You may also remember her from some other '80s cheese.

I’m not sure I want to see bare devil children. All that red skin would cause my eyes to melt, or something.

I went out to see _Jay and Silent Bob_ with a friend. It turned into a date, and now we’re seeing each other. We play computer games and make Sims noises at each other, and we have the same puerile 12 year old’s sense of humor.
I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a heartwarming tale, or a cautionary one.
Corr, who doesn’t have any devil children, but figures they gotta be better than inheriting ADHD

Seriously, I think “Next Stop Wonderland” would be a great third date movie.
