Who’s in it?
Groundhog Day - smarmy feel good movie
K-pax - subtle feel good movie
The Life of Brian - irreverant humor (parody of life of Jesus but
really funny (you’ll understand what I mean
when you see the French suicide squad)
Blast from the Past - romantic comedy
Oceans Eleven , new or old version - action
The Thomas Crown affair - corporate meets James Bond clever
Vanilla- Thomas Crowne Affair-the new James Bond/old Remington Steele guy who’s name I can’t recall & Rene Russo.
Say Anything also has the all time best feel good final scene of any teen movie.You know where he’s calming her fears on the plane, the smoking sign going ding. Very clever.
Now, if this is a church guy, you might want to stick with movies that are a little more conservative, at least in the sex department. (I’m just guessing here, vanilla.) If that’s the case, The Thomas Crown Affair (at least the one with Pierce Brosnan) is out. Great movie, but a pretty hot sex scene with nakedness.
I also recommend Blast from the Past (Alicia Silverstone, Brendan Fraser). Also, While You Were Sleeping, (Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman) and Sabrina (Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear). These are all sweet, relatively amusing romantic comedies. No gratuitous sex but still engaging, funny, and clever. (Yes, even Sabrina. I know it is a totally different version than the Audrey Hepburn version, but it’s engaging in its own way.)
A good western (unusually good, in my opinion) is Riders of the Purple Sage, with husband and wife team Ed Harris and Amy Madigan. Very squeaky clean, but also good in its own way (definitely a horse opera). Based on the novel by Zane Grey.
If you want to go with a fun period piece, Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow might fill the bill. Romantic (I love Jeremy Northam) and funny, in an odd Jane Austen way.
A little-known movie is one Greenfingers with Clive Owen. This is a hoot. No hot sex scenes (just a quick flash of long-distance nudity) but a some premarital sex and profanity (no big deal for most people, especially considering the context, but I don’t know how conservative this guy might be). I love Greenfingers—it’s based on a true story about a bunch of prisoners in England who take up gardening as part of a prison program. Very sweet message about “losers getting a second chance.” Love this movie.
Okay, have I given enough suggestions? 
If you are up for some subtitled fun, then you could try some Ang Lee. If you can get Eat Drink Man Woman then please do, touching, funny, fantastic food scenes, lots of food for thought and conversation topics from it too. If you can’t get that at your local video place, you could try Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon which has a lot of action, some love stories, lots to talk about after again 
The action/violence is very stylistic almost more like a dance than a fight, so it isn’t too offensive if you aren’t into voilent movies.
thanks.
I’m going to the library tomorrow to getone.
good suggestions!
Thomas Crown Affair was not in, (good choice people; save it for next time) so I decided upon Shallow Hal!
Not bad.
thank you all
How did the date go so ?
The remake of the Thomas Crown affair is totally fun - but you said the guy is from your church, and there is nakedness involved, will that be a problem?
If its female nudity, I think it would be a bad idea.
Male nudity does nothing for me, but most movies use female nudity (probably for that reason)
What?? No one has suggested Vanilla Sky?
Its both, but more female (in that boobies count). Let me do a bit of a “Parental Advisory” review on the dirty bits. The heroine dresses in a more or less see through dress at a party. The heroine and the hero get it on in what is obviously an hours long bonking session all over the house. At another point the heroine sits topless at the beach.
What is however pretty cool about it is that the heroine in this case is the then 45 year old Rene Russo. Not many films that let the hero have a sidekick/romantic interest who is the same age as him, and not many films that let 45 year old women be sexy as hell 
I’m 45!
But Rene Russo probably has better breasts than I.
Magiver, K-Pax was the first date for me and my gf.
And I’d recommend something like a classic Bond.
Are we gentlemen here supposed to comment reassuringly about the quality of yours vw Renes or should we just keep our traps shut? L
I’ve never seen her breasts, yet I know thye are better than mine.
I am sure there is no one alive who has sene hers and mine.
(we don’t run in the same circles)
Well, if anyone who has seen yours has seen the movie in question, then they have absolutly seen both hers and yours
I don’t think we have enough evidence to make a ruling - can we get some pics?
