The very first day my wife and I met we ended up going to the theater and seeing "They," so our relationship was kind of founded on bad movies. She will watch just about anything with me, but there are times when she shys away from the gorier stuff. And zombie flicks. For some reason, zombie movies drive her crazy.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

My girlfriend will watch if they are Chinese movies.  Otherwise, usually not, but sometimes she relents.  I did manage to get her to warch  The Night of a 1000 Cats and The Karate Dog, so there is hope!

If and when I ever get married (geez, don't I sound like the stereotypical nerd) I should hope to find someone who likes (not just tolerates) my style of movies. Otherwise it probably won't work!

Significant Other? What's that? Wink BounceGiggle And seriously if one can find women who like B-Movies and pro wrestling, well I'd like to meet one? I certainly have yet to find one...

It depends on the movie.  I usually have good success getting her to watch any ghost stories, mysteries, or 70s TV movies no matter the quality.  Godzilla movies are sometimes okay.  Dino movies, Tarzan and adventure are usually fine.  Anything with gore is usually out.

Watched one of my Something Weird exploitation DVDs the other night.  The movie was "The Toy Box" about a dead uncle who pays people to perform kinky sexual acts for him (long story).  Right about the time that Katie gagged because some girl was licking another girl's stomach and leaving saliva all over it I knew that she was not enjoying the film.

Honestly, I was not enjoying the film either.  There is only so much 70's butt that I can see before my mind begins asking rhetorical questions.  I have seen porn films with better plots.

I still want to know where I can find a woman who loves loads of B-Movies, pro wrestling, Kung Fu films, Film Noir, Classic Mystery, sci-fi, fantasy and horror genre TV and movies  and basically anything that might have played at a Drive-In (I'm real soft on those 60s Beach Party movies and those Tammy romance stories too) because...

 surely no other woman would ever put up with me.  At least I don't think so.

My wife either sleeps through them or I watch them on the computer when she is watching something else. She usually watches the science fiction shows and movies with me.

After all this time together my wife will usually watch what I'm watching, but occasionally we have conversations like this
"What is this?"

" It's the sci-fi channel movie, Curse of the Komodo."

"Looks like they filmed it at the Arboretum in Arcadia, looks ridiculous, pretty awful movie."

"We can change it to something else, this is really bad."

"No let's watch, besides I'm interested now."

On the other hand she knows me well enough that she watches American Idol in the den.

After reading these post, I must laugh.  Yes, I like the movie "The Cutting Edge" and yes, I watch "American Idol".  I think everyone needs some form of mindless entertainment.  I do watch a lot of bad movies, but in our house we have Andrew's movies, my movies, and the kids movies.  If you are looking for a good mix (like for a date night), try any of the MST3000 episodes.  I find them much more enjoyable then if I had just watch some of those movies without the comments.

I feel honored to say that my girlfriend enjoys a good chunk of the b-flicks I inflict on her and doesn't squirm when there's a ton of gore. (Though she has the annoying habit of trying to block my vision when breastasists are on the screen.  Wink ) The really cool thing is that whenever a new horror flick is coming out, she's usually the first one to say "Hey this looks cool, let's go see that!" She and I are very much looking forward to seeing "Grindhouse" in April too!  TeddyR

As for films that she has sat through with me: "Night of the Creeps," "The Devil's Rejects," "Halloween," "Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV," "Evil Dead 2," "Zombi," "The Beyond," "Suspiria," "Blood Feast" (she actually fell asleep during that one, but can you really blame here?  BounceGiggle ), and the list goes on! I think I gots myself a keeper!  TeddyR Now if I can only get her to sit through a few Godzilla flicks.....

My wife works at night from 7pm to 7am and I watch most of my films between the hours of 8pm-12am when she's not home. Watching guy films like action/horror/sci-fi/westerns or anything weird, strange, and bizarre.

My wife doesn't watch B-Movies, so I watch them at night.  She has watched a few, but not many. I remember her watching FOOD OF THE GODS, CHILLER, and more recently THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH with me or we'll go to the movie theater together to watch the latest big release.

Back when we first were married she would come home from work at midnight on Saturday nights and we would watch SATURDAY NIGHT DEAD with Horror Host Stella on a local Philadelphia channel. Now she is strickly a big time TCM (Turner Classic Movies) movie fan and really only watches those b/w films from that channel. When ever I catch her watching TV she is usually watching TCM, Fox News, History Channel, or maybe Food Network.

She has probably seen as many classics as me, but when it comes to B-Movies she's mostly not interested. Once in a while she'll ask me if I picked up anything interesting lately that she might like and I'll look on the shelve and put one in one of my cheapie DVD's.

Yes, I did say one of our favorite lines, because I like "The Cutting Edge" too.
