Two friends of mine and I (they were Significantly Involved with each other) went to see HALLOWEEN (1) when it first came out. The female among my two friends has a low panic-point, and spent about half the movie with her head huddled in the male's lap. For those of you who immediately think kinky thoughts, well, SHE was doing the whimpering and moaning, not HIM. Taken out of context, having an attractive woman pawing all over him for the length of a feature film could give quite an ego boost, if you carefully ignore that the woman in question is frightened out of her wits, rather than passionate. I occasionally see monster films, including ALIEN and similar stuff. But I never saw them as terribly romantic. And never on a first date. :-) --fini-- I don't include these addresses just to exercise my fingers...
