Anyway, mine was “Election,” the teen/political/sex/dark comedy with Reese Witherspoon. i had rented it along with three other movies and my gf was spending the night since we didn’t have school the next day (it was Martin Luther King Day). When we woke up the next morning, we got watched the movie and i guess the sexual undertones got to us somehow and… well yeah.
Uy. Do you know, that’s so long ago I can’t remember.
But I ended a fairly long dry spell recently during the final episode of Survivor… of course, I went to the guy’s house with ulterior motives; Survivor, which I had never seen before, was just an excuse.
I, too, don’t remember, mainly because the two events weren’t related. I did, however, end a looong dry spell with The Bridges of Madison County. I didn’t really see the attraction of the film, but it certainly put her in the mood for some reason. Well, whatever works.
I lost my virginity after seeing a play with my date, although I don’t remember the name of that, either. Some student-written piece of crap about looney caterers. I was a college newpaper photographer at the time and was shooting photos for the theater review. I asked her to come with me (we weren’t actually dating at the time, so I wasn’t even remotely expecting what happened afterwards) since the director gave me 2 free tickets.
–sublight.
Oh man. I have NO idea. What the heck was playing in the second-run theaters in late 1987? One of those, most likely. Nothing that DAY, anyhow. Was right after school, between leaving school and having to be back for a band concert. Talk about working under the gun…sheesh.
It was Run Lola Run.
It’s funny that I fell head over heels in love with that movie, but I don’t even talk to the guy I was dating at that time anymore.
Seeing that movie with him was the best thing we ever did together, although HE didn’t need to be there in order for me to have a good time.
I couldn’t find the glow in the dark condoms like in the movie at Osco Drug. I did the typical young guy buying condoms thing though. I bought soap, shampoo, a box of Trojans, a can of Dinty Moore Beef Stew (don’t ask), and the Batman comic where Robin dies. I wish I still had that comic.
In the Company of Men. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s about a couple of manipulative, evil corporate scumbags who decide to take revenge on the female sex by simultaneously dating the most vulnerable woman they can find, leading her on for a few weeks, and dropping her like a hot potato.
Yes, it did set the tone for the situation … and for the entire relationship. Should’ve taken warning.
Other movies I have seen at the beginning of relationships:
Ferris Bueller’s Day Out. The young man with whom I watched it still had the mentality of a high school senior skipping class … only he was twenty-two.
The Matrix. I was so bored I fell asleep – on a first date. We went out for a month and a half. Things never got much more interesting.
Oh dear, I think I’ve just discovered a new rule. Luckily I haven’t watched any movies yet with the current guy. Maybe now that I know what’s going on, I can choose our first film more wisely…
The first movie this girl and I saw together was Beetlejuice. I wasn’t a virgin when our relationship ended.
Did it set the tone for the relationship? Well, in retrospect, she was in a lot of ways like the title character… unpredictable, loud-mouthed, difficult to get rid of, and straight out of hell.
Well, it was shortly after I got to college. I remember going out by myself one night, when my roommate was gone and I hadn’t really made a lot of friends yet. They were showing “Lawrence of Arabia” at the Science Center.
Did that set the tone for what happened a couple of weeks later?
“Of course it hurts. The trick is not minding that it hurts.”
