It really depends what she likes and her age. I heard superbad is funny.

I know one of the cast members.

If you ever rent, "Princess Bride" is a great date flick.

Forget the movies. Why take a lady to the movies, where you pay attention to a movie, when you could take her someplace else and pay attention to her? Women like that, ya know. Or are you boring?

No. MY neighbor and I were drinking last weekend and said they were trying to find a guy for a woman his wife works with. Asked if she was good looking and he said shes not too bad. So I said okay (on the assumption sje wasnt ugly)

He gives me her name and number a couple days later. I look in my old yearbook from when I was a freshamn. She was a senior that year. She didnt look too good back then and I havent seen her since. He wont tell me what she looks like so Im thinking the worst. I figured a movie would be the kind of date where I could go with her and if she turned out to have the personality of a radish I could end it there. (the darkness could help if she was REALLY ugly)

Well,the movie theatre posesses manifold advantages in that regard.
Forget about the face and let your fingers do the walking

Where have I heard that before.

Now THAT'S a plan!

Now here's a question - is it worse to lead on an ugly one, or let her know when you first meet her that she is not what you expected?

Better to loved and lost than to have never loved before. Maybe this can also be said about dates? I mean if she hasnt went on a date in a while maybe its better if I take her on one and leave it at that than if shes waiting for my initial call that never comes

Seabiscuit!

Just read the book again and followed that by watching the movie again.

Ask her what she wants to see. Tell her that it's stupid, and go rent Hot Fuzz instead. She will leave, allowing you to enjoy an awesome movie in peace.
