Your favorite movie that your significant other would never get or enjoy like you wish they would.

I had to look that one up. Rotten Tomatoes: 5%
I don't think I've seen a score that low before in my life.
For me it's probably Top Gun that gets the rolleyes.
I've probably watched the movie 20 times and I'd watch it again if it was on.

I probably wouldn't find it as good as I did when it first came out. Of course I was a 14 year old teenage boy at the time.
Quite true. I have had similar experiences most recently with Big Trouble in Little China. When I was in Jr High I thought it was great, but now I know it is pure trash. Funny enough it also has Kim Cattrall.
My wife struggles to get any enjoyment out of a movie like Godfather that spends significant time building out detail that doesn't seem crucial to the plot at first glance (like the 20 minute wedding scene at the beginning)
Ironically, most of the dumb comedy and guy movies in here she would be good with, esp the 90s stuff.
I just can't get her into scifi really of any kind. She will watch, but crochet at same time and not really pay attention. Just not her thing. Whereas for me it is foundational.
She likes old "Have Gun, Will Travel" type stuff more.

Seriously though, Chris Farley and Matthew Perry…do yourself a favor.
My wife really dislikes There Will Be Blood.
She doesn’t like things that are dark, and she prefers movies/shows she doesn’t have to pay too close attention to.
She was really into Ted Lasso and Great British Bakeoff with me, but didn’t get into Severance or Shogun.
Apparently she just prefers to relax rather than hyper-fixating on every detail or something……

I couldn't get my wife into Shogun either. I loved it, but she was too annoyed by the subtitles.
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
My buddy (don't call me pal, buddy) and I took our wives when it first came out. We were crying laughing so hard in the first 10-15 minutes alone - wives just looked at each other like, "What the hell did we get ourselves into?"

When they start out with "Shut your f'ing face, uncle f'er" I about split a side. And then the whole Saddam and the devil thing. There's not many movies where I had laughed that hard.
Talladega Nights is kind of a running joke with me and my wife where just mentioning it gets an eye roll. But the thing is I'll quote that movie and almost every time she laughs out loud. When l say "that was from Talladega Nights by the way" she just shakes her head and says "dammit".
I think this is the kind of slow-burn plot development that's largely dead in cinema today.
That's one I should try to restart on my own. My wife bristled at the violence and brutality in what I think was the first episode, and hit the eject button.
