Films you really like but your other half doesn't "get"?

[Nom de ploom]

So as the thread says really - I can go back and watch films over and over again - some of them prompt SWMBO to tut and head off (result!) and others prompt just a blank look of "I don't get it - it's not funny" etc etc

Probably linked to my stoodent days but I give you...

The Sure Thing - John Cusack brilliant...
The World According to Garp - worth it alone for John Lithgows performance
Easy Rider
Roadhouse (but I'm on my break!!!)

I could go on...

Every single one.

All of them...

Pah...beaten to it.

Heat

Collateral

lock stock and two smoking barrels

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas

Team America (doesn't like puppets )

[anonymous-user]

The Shawshank Redemption is, apparently, "a dreary film about prison"

[Carl_Spackler]

All of them.

My wife fell asleep during the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan (in the cinema, complete with massive screen and 100000 watts of sound) as I was sitting with my mouth hanging open.

But if it was a fly on the wall thingy with Mel B/some other has-been on MTV or the E Channel she can stay awake.

Mad as a box of frogs the lot of them.

I've never had a partner yet who likes Bladerunner (my favourite).

i love bladerunner, tho i will admit to having to watch it early in the day as i find i doze off otherwise, but i can never ever watch sideways, utter ste, that unfortunately OH thinks is really great.

then again he doesn't get my obsession with 1950/60's musicals

This.

[PugwasHDJ80]

anything with more than 2 characters who have more than 2 ideas going on at once.

at home we frequently have to pause a movie so i can explain what's going on0- and heaven forbid if something happens in a movie which isn't explained until later.

she has a phD!

My wife accused me of tricking her into seeing Sin City at the cinema and that it was sick and depraved, and gave me an sobsolute earful over it.

I thought it was brilliant.
