I love you, but your taste in movies …
All this hype about women going to the Sex and the City movie in droves (and men staying away in droves) got me thinking about the movies that divide us. Most of us have movies we love, but our loved ones hate them - or we have movies we hate that are loved by our loved ones.
So let me ask you - what movies make your significant other flee from the room with a grimace? Or what movies make you decide you’ll go out while they’re busy watching their movie?
Responses don’t have to be “I like chick flicks and hate action movies” or vice versa, though those examples are certainly welcome. These can be movies your kids watch to the point of exasperation, or movies you try to understand but simply don’t get.
Truthfully, I can’t give a great answer my own question because I have neither kids, nor much in the way of significant others. But here are a random handful of movies that I love that usually prompt responses of “You LIKED that? Really??”
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Punch-Drunk Love
The Star Wars prequels
Pretty much anything directed by Stanley Kubrick
Your turn!
