Date Idea - Movie Night Together

Kathyrn and I don't get out much with the kids, school and church, so we try and find ways to spend time together at home. My brother and I started texting about our favorite movies the other day, so I thought a similar activity would be a fun date with Kathryn. We were able to share some of favorite movies and learn a little bit more about each other - even though I knew most of her favorites already.

We had several categories and had to pick our three favorite movies in each category. We also had an Honorable Mention category because we like too many movies. (Some of these are R-rated movies. In that case, we mean the edited versions.)

Here were the lists:
