Except that the problem is that Transformers the Movie is inherently watchable, like the movie in question has to be good but not so good that you wouldn't be able to be distracted for making sex.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:03 (twenty years ago) link

I'd pick "Transformers". Afterwards, I would obviously do you. But you probably wouldn't get a second date.

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:04 (twenty years ago) link

To answer the question honestly, um, I don't think I would ever try seduce anyone really. But if I did, I figure seduction is all about manipulation of the person's feelings so they feel a bit / lot more conducive towards having sex and stuff. Last film I watched that actually physiologically made the girl (she was my girlfriend at the time) and me want to have sex was Secretary. I imagine something like All the Real Girls would put someone more in the state of mind to fall in love (see my thread on it & bnw's comment).

― David. (Cozen), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:06 (twenty years ago) link

WTF? Girls all the time come over to my house and go through my DVDs and choose something really romantic-like such as Amelie or Moulin Rouge and then we sit there and actually watch it all the way through...no funny stuff. I reiterate: WTF?

Oh, and Transformers: The Movie would work cuz then you could be making love and singing "DARE! DARE TO BELIEVE YOU CAN SURVIVE! THE POWER IS ALL IN YOUR COMMAAAAAAND!" at the same time!

Oh wait, I think I remember now why most girls won't have sex with me.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:07 (twenty years ago) link

You don't want to have sex with girls who watch bullshit movies like that, trust me.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:09 (twenty years ago) link

Groundhog Day

bad choice: _Leaving Las Vegas_

God that movie is such infuriating bullshit, jesus christ.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:11 (twenty years ago) link

The favorite film-to-sex maneuver with me was when a girl I'd just started seeing brought a copy of Debbie Does Dallas '99(?), which was followed by Bringing Out the Dead. Somewhere around the twenty minute mark of the latter the fun started.

That relationship lasted several months, then we drifted apart and she drifted into porn acting. Ah well. =/

On the Right Track

― Nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:15 (twenty years ago) link

I find booze usually works better than a movie anyhow.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:15 (twenty years ago) link

Pootie Tang

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:15 (twenty years ago) link

You can't do better than Wong-Kar Wai films of course. Esp. the final shots of Fallen Angels and Chungking Express.

― ham on rye (ham on rye), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:15 (twenty years ago) link

"Crash" by David Cronenberg would be a novel choice.

― Layna Andersen (Layna Andersen), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:15 (twenty years ago) link

Horace, it's so easy to turn Transformers: The Movie into a drinking game...

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:16 (twenty years ago) link

I was once seduced during a documentary on Roy Cohn.

― Annouschka Magnatech (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

Pootie Tang works well because you only really need to see the first 25 minutes of that film anyway, in all actuality. It's all downhill after the "Make 'Em Say Uhhhh" scene.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

??? this a weird thing to do even if you're NOT there to have sex

(the correct answer is clash of the titans tho)

― jones (actual), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, I've found Pootie Tang to be Booty-Repellant, which makes me sad.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:19 (twenty years ago) link

(And my friend, after informing me he's never actually done this, told me he'd put on Schindler's List)

Seeing pain and pogroms never did inspire lust in me. But, hey, whatever....

To really seduce a date? Hmm, Velvet Goldmine works: sex sprinkled everywhere, and if things get slow, you can both trip on the pretty colours....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:19 (twenty years ago) link

Haha maybe you need to be horny to begin with for Pootie Tang to work.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:19 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe it's just the fact that we've watched about 15 times and she always leaves the room when it comes on.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:22 (twenty years ago) link

"...i'm talkin' 'bout GROWN. ASS. WIMMEN."

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I can see that too.

(FYI all of these movies got turned off when getting busy, who on earth actually wants to stop and watch any part of a movie while having sex??)

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

Horace, you can't seduce her, can you? Object: keeping her body in the room....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:24 (twenty years ago) link

Movies that would make me immediately throw out a date:
Amelie
Velvet Goldmine

I'm still not sure why American Psycho didn't provoke this response.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:25 (twenty years ago) link

If he's any good, you won't care about the explosions onscreen. Call it background noise....

Bloodlust=lust, maybe?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

to sidetrack a little bit, any genres better suited than others?

while comedy can be endearing, it is rarely sexy in a very immediate way
romantic movies set expectations too high (who wants to do it standing up, leaning against a pizza oven, while changing the oil filter on a '68 Buick?)
action movies, violence negates sexiness
historical epics, long boring speeches that allow the mind to wander

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:28 (twenty years ago) link

Desperado!

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

Say Anything
Jules and Jim
How High

― bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

I hate romantic movies by and large to begin with, so those are right out.

Background noise=massive dud for me.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

Say Anything is my romantic movie exception :)

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:30 (twenty years ago) link

American Psycho was fun for the first 45 minuts, that's why. when the movie goes south, you're distracted by that point.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:30 (twenty years ago) link

So what if they come in and go straight for you p0rn stash?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:31 (twenty years ago) link

I've admitted this:
I got mad laid to "sammy

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:31 (twenty years ago) link

I don't own any porn, so it's a nonissue in my house! That'd be a huge turn off though.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:31 (twenty years ago) link

American Psycho was fun for the first 45 minuts, that's why. when the movie goes south, you're distracted by that point.

And why were you not paying attention to her for 45 minutes?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:33 (twenty years ago) link

becuase Jude Law Must Die, that's why.

"ooooo, Bone White..."

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:33 (twenty years ago) link

oh and in high school
a girl started kissing me
during "flash gordon"

and she was two years
older! Me: "master of the
universe" indeed!

I'd object to Faces of Death... anything else, well, we'll talk

do Elvis movies work well?

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

"Defender of the universe", isn't it?

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

elvis movies are too riveting to even eat popcorn to

― jones (actual), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:38 (twenty years ago) link

way back in 1998, I was dating a girl whose roommate owned Cronenberg's Crash. We'd always watch about five minutes of that and then go to her bedroom. Not because the movie made us hot or anything, but because it was kind of boring, and we didn't really have a lot to say to each other.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:39 (twenty years ago) link

"Defender of the universe", isn't it?
maybe he was referring to the "masters of the universe" film, with He-man, Skeletor et al.

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:40 (twenty years ago) link

courteney cox was in it

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:43 (twenty years ago) link

So Traces of Death it is, luna.

Kids somehow worked for me. Maybe it had more to do with the drugs done than the movie watched. That Van Damme hockey movie--Sudden Death?--was boring enough to work.

Hmm...Meet the Feebles!

Well no, but you can see how it would be uncomfortable. On top of you know, the killing and stabbing and the killing and the stabbing. Haha this is the same woman who actually rates the movies she sees by how few curse words they have in them.

I once (when I was like, 18) watched "Threesome" with some dude and ended up getting it on with him later that night. What a LAME THING TO DO.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 12:51 (seventeen years ago) link

This thread is embarassing. The only thing I like about Amelie anymore is that part where she imagines all the people in the city fucking at the same time or whatever.

And Battle Royale is a very romantic movie.

― a naked Kraken annoying Times Square tourists with an acoustic guitar (nickalici, Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I still like "Amelie" just fine 3 years later.

Oh, and "Play Misty for Me" is my pick.

― Eppy (Eppy), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

you want something magnanimous and cosmic to make any actions seem inconsequential - should also be funny and lusty to get the juices flowing. underground comes to mind - especially if you close the deal during the opening bombs, music, booze and sex scene.

ultimate so no gonna happen movie - kids!

if you're trying to avoid sex, "chuck and buck" will surely do the trick.
