SWF in search of movie scenes about dating

July 13, 2012 12:35 AM

I'm looking for short movie clips about first dates--both good and bad--for a video montage. Bonus points if they're available on Youtube, and double bonus points if they are funny but not risque--montage will be used at a professional meeting. Current movies and/or classics. Any suggestions?

Of first dates or talking about first dates? Audio ok or video only?

Response by poster: The movie clips can either be of actual first dates, or describing first dates, and they need to be video. Thanks!

What comes to mind, though ironically I can't remember if I've seen it: 50 First Dates. Also, There's Something About Mary, when they're sitting on the car and talking about SportsCenter. Or the corn dogs bit.

The date scene from Romantics Anonymous is epic cringe. Both people are hopeless romantics, but also pathologically timid. Awkwardness (and frequent shirt-changes) ensue! Entirely SFW.

The Notebook. The evening starts out as a double date, but then Noah and Allie break off on their own. The scene where they lay down on the street is fun and sweet.

Blind Date (the 1987 comedy, not the more recent drama) is a movie full of over-the-top problems on a first date.

British sit com Black Books, season 1 episode 3, "The Grapes of Wrath", includes a sub-plot wherein Fran goes on a blind date with Ben. When Fran's attempts to get the evening going fail ("Would you look at these -- breasts!"), she swiftly realises that Ben is (a) gay and (b) not cognizant of this fact. "What do Elton John, Ian McKellan and Jean-Paul Gaultier have in common?" she asks him. "Well," he replies, "they're all fabulous..." The whole episode is on YouTube.

Speed Dating is a ten minute short that contains humorous SFW material. Full disclosure: an acquaintance of mine is in it.
