Related: About this forumWhat movies have done the best job of depicting dating?
I was chatting with someone the other day who was talking about a terrible movie he'd just seen. The man in it behaved like a piece of cheesecake and when he actually spoke it was ridiculous dialogue. Unfortunately the movie wasn't named.
I told him about "Enough Said" because there were similar plot points but it was a really good movie. Both characters (played by Julia Louis Dreyfus and James Gandolfini) were decent and sympathetic, they made mistakes and then handled them like adults.
So what are your favorites? Which depict the person of your sex most accurately? Any nominations for the Hall of Shame?

I had a girlfriend who thought Eraserhead would be a good date movie.

That relationship did not end well.
My wife leans more to The Princess Bride sorts of movies.
