    A highschool first date involved my female date wanting to pick a movie directed by a woman. I thought "why not?" So we spent a half hour checking VHS box covers. (Yes this was that long ago.) I found one and said that it looked pretty interesting.

    Kathryn Bigelow's "Strange Days".

    That date got pretty tense pretty fast.

      This is why I always go with Bill Hader's pick for a first date movie:

      It's a really good movie, but yeah.. absolutely terrible for a first date. Near Dark would have been better.

        The funny thing is this event once earned me a second date. On another first date years later, we were talking about disastrous first dates. Turns out Strange Days was one of her favourite movies. She was a big fan of transgressive sci-fi.
