I thought this was going to be a thread about porn.

There are people who enjoy / dislike pretension, there are people who have a genuine love / hatred for specific genre's of film/art, and there are people who genuinely like / don't like to be challenged. People consume media in different ways for different reasons - and it's okay.
I reckon it's fine if you're other half doesn't like these films. What a person likes shouldn't fully define how you identify with them. Difference is good.

When I'm dating someone for the first time I love to go see an Aronofsky movie as a pretty reliable test.
1) She says: "That was weird"= One night stand
2) She mentions the music and uses words like "cinematography" and "character portrail"= Possible long-term relationship
3) She gives me a blowjob during the movie= Marriage material- scientific process right theremonospaced
- Don't marry her if 3 though, or you'll never get another blow job.mikotondria3
- recent Cohen brothers film. noone in the theater but us and some other man = blowjob for 15 min.pr2
- Wait... Who gave that other man a blowjob, you or her?Sep

Actually... It was a girl who 'made me' go see Black Swan... i had no interest in it and I usually like Aronofsky.

I've found it to be the opposite. All of my female friends love Lynch/Aronofsky e.t.c and although most of my male friends do also enjoy their work, they engage with it all a lot less.

Thanks to pressplay, I now know that I'm immature and sexist.
God I hope he doesn't find out that I check out COTD almost everyday.

Why is that most females have such a hard time engaging in hardcore porn movies. Like most of here, I love movies that make are challenging and hard-on-provoking, yet still entertaining.
I love my collection of Bukkake films, but the GF doesn't want to, scratch that, can not watch them with me. I think I'm going to break up with her for this reason.
Bring on the quasi-misogynistic (or full-on sexist if you'd like) commentary. Or feel free to prove otherwise.

I'm guessing you used her for sex, and you're looking for a reason to break up with her.

i just took this all too seriously...
... dump her already!

film is really that important???... You're going to change dramatically over time - I always thought we're supposed to look a little deeper into each other for more important qualities (lifelong compatibility)... that is unless you're just 'killing time' and not looking to make a life together...
... but dumping someone due their taste in FILM? It just seems immature... and such a silly reason to let go of someone... again - she could probably do better. :)
- i think the part of immaturity is NOT to look at the qualities such as film compatibility...pr2
- that's because you make films, dude!! I guess in your case it may mean something as it's your life :)PonyBoy
- fine, might be so but... films provide such rich landscape of personal mythology to EVERYONE that if one's choice of mythology is so drastically different than anthers...pr2
- of mythology is so drastically different than anthers...pr2

things i've learned about my wife over the last few years concerning movies:
1) if robocop / terminator / star wars / back to the future / planet of the apes / or any superhero movie are on, she's not changing the channel - so i should just sit down, watch, and enjoy a foot rub.
2) foot rubs are awesome.

It's not the girls it's your movie incompatibility. Also age matters, i can't phantom the idea of me liking the kind of movies i liked, say 4 years ago, so if there is a significant age difference that can influence your movie taste. Moreover people change so after a long a fruitful relationship you might want to go one route while her another.
Truth is my woman and me have really similar taste in films: we both can't stand superficial fluff - or rather we are just too old for that. The fact that we both work in film business thus know that much of fimmaking is done to carter to a teenage mind (and often create with teenage understanding of the world...) probably help us to stay away from main-stream filmmaking in generals (though in a way we are both responsible for creation of that mainstream).

Has anyone here had an ex-GF that also enjoys these types of films?
You guys are lucky.- yep. and yea, it does add a lot to the relationship when can talk about a film for hours after leaving the cinemainteliboy
- CyBrainX0
If she really can't handle any culture beyond the mainstream I can see where you'd get tired of her. However, don't be like most married people and judge the opposite person by your gf/bf/spouse.

Since you guys are so interested in my relationship, let me explain. We met at a friend's party, hooked up, hung out, had a few laughs. But now it's been over 2 months, and I've had my fill of fun, BUT we have very little meaningful in common. It's that simple. Sheesh.
But uan, that's hilarious because we did actually watch 2046 together! The DVD was on my bookshelf and the cover art caught her eye. But she kept asking me what was happening throughout the movie. As if I was Wong Kar Wai himself! Then at the end said she hated it. I replied, "How?!" haha.

I would definitely have a hard time being with a person who couldn't appreciate great films... but to say that "most girls" are like this is a major generalization. If we're really going to make generalizations i think it's more fair to say that "most people" don't like more challenging films like the ones you listed above.
