That's a sure fire way to ruin a brilliant film...
Or at least the first 20 minutes before they leave thank god...
In fact there's just entire genres that you can't enjoy with women...
You can't watch Kung Fu.
Kung Fu (the TV series), Enter the Dragon, Way of the Dragon, The Big Boss, The Chinese Connection, Shaolin Temple, 36th Chamber of the Shaolin, Invincible Pole Fighter.. the list goes on. For some reason women don't find the concept of martial arts cool!!
Samurai and Westerns.
Like cowlick said: 7 Samurai, so while you're at it, just cross, Yojimbo, Kagemusha etc off the list.
Then go on to remove Sergio Leone's entire catalogue, INCLUDING Once upon a time in America.
Then take out The Wild Bunch, Magnificent Seven, High Noon, Pale Rider, Josey Wales. The only western they can watch is 'Paint your wagon' and I think we can all agree that this is amongst the most henious of film crimes.
Now gangster films have to go. Godfather, Godfather Part II, Goodfellas, Casino, Donnie Brasco, Scarface, Carlito's Way, Bugsy...
Then you might as well take out Humphrey Bogart, except perhaps Casablanca...
Evil Dead III Army of Darkness rarely goes over well...
Then you got to take out classics like: The Great Escape, The Dirty Dozen, Where Eagles Dare, Battle of the Bulge.
All your Nam movies, especially Apocalypse Now, but also Deer Hunter and Platoon and FMJ.
So basically women and good film don't mix...
