The cinema remains a common first date venue for a number of reasons, but mainly its function as a romantic rendezvous for potential couples serves two major purposes: firstly, it gives you something to do together that isn't inherently awkward. You stare at the movie in silence - it's easy, there's no pressure, but it still feels like a shared experience. Secondly, it gives you something to talk about afterwards - over drinks, a meal, whatever. It's a great way to test the waters with somebody new, because discussing a movie can reveal a lot about an individual. The problem with this, of course, starts with choosing the right movie. You don't, after all, want to end up watching a movie that is TOO anything - too romantic, too sad, too arty, too downright bizarre - because the tone of said movie is going to dominate the rest of the date. If you go out to see Schindler's List on a first date, there's a good chance that that first just kiss isn't going to happen. A David Lynch film, on the other hand, is likely to prove too confusing and much too dense - not the sort of movie that warrants casual discussion over spicy chicken wings. Which got us thinking: what would be the worst possible movie choice for a first date? Which movie could pretty much ensure that, regardless of how well you got on with the other person, you probably wouldn't want to ever see one another again, just out of sheer association with the movie in question? Our pick goes to Lars von Trier's insanely controversial (and insanely insane) Antichrist, a movie so depressing that it's enough to put people off of dating for life. Because there's nothing more inappropriate for a first date than scenes of genital mutilation. Question of the day... what would be the worst possible movie choice for a first date?
