War movies, mainly. Endless battle scenes = not good. Also, most psycho-killer/serial killer movies, unless there's a strong woman lead and maybe not even then.
The exception to these is 1) if it's actually a stylish, complex movie, and especially 2) if there's an actor in it that she likes or is hot for. My wife admires Kevin Spacey as an actor, so I had no trouble dragging her to L.A. Confidential or The Usual Suspects, two Spacey movies, even though she normally would be too concerned about the violence to go. And of course they were both two fine movies, critically acclaimed.
