as the OP ill just say that for me the "garbage" as you put it does not matter. I know that sounds weird, but watching a movie with my husband is a way to relax and enjoy time together, and thats all. |
okay, each to his/her own... I just don't see why you are so chilled about having your husband watch other women...

I can't believe TITANIC didn't show up until the third page of posts!
And the SOUND OF MUSIC! Those are both classics.
Jane Austin's stories made into movies are great because they are old and clean. |
uhm, Titanic, yeh shes naked when he paints her,,
sound of music.. what about kol isha?
everyone can find something wrong with everymovie out there
my dh and I watched madagascar not sure how to spell it, its a cartoon! and there was adult jokes in it.. so go figure..
either way, I love movies and I watch em by myself or with my girlfriends.. wish I knew kosher movies, my dh would love to watch with me, but the first sign of a tank top and he refuses to watch further  .. its good, but also ver hard.

Not everyone rules tv is kol isha.
Not everyone rules "normal non Jewish dress" is a problem to have on screen.
It's a shaila for YOUR rav.
That said, older movies may have only tznius/almost tznius dress. Some chosen movies don't have women as (big) character. Some movies may have only one or two scenes to not watch and if you read the summary it's even easier to skip.

My husband and I watch all movies together.
And kol Isha?????? Um, no, its through the television so it is not kol isha, at least the way we learned it.

I started watching bridges of madison county but I just did not like the premise of it being about an affair, but I do see why people that do like it like it.

It's funny, because I shared the film (Bridges) with a Lubavitch friend of mine, and she also couldn't get over the fact that it was an affair. And I totally get that, but I think I was just able to put that aside and enjoy the film because she was just so taken advantage of by her husband and children, and this wonderful man just totally respected her and treated her with such care and dignity. I loved it!!!! 
But, of course, I'm against infidelity!!!

As for the other two movies, I'll give you the premise:
1) American President: The US President is a widower with a young daughter. A tough-talkin' washington lobbyist thinks she's going to put the President in his place, but he instead falls in love with her, and she with him. It sounds corny, but my oh my...it takes my breath away!!!
2) First Knight: Set in medieval times. King Arthur (I think) is going to take a bride in the coming weeks/months (of course a gorgeous woman). One day she is kidnapped (if I remember correctly) and saved by one of the king's knights. When she is saved, the knight and the woman fall in love/lust and want to be together, but she is torn between him and the king. Sigh....just a really romantic movie.
Ok, now I can't stop myself. I need to give you others:
1) Only You: Here's the amazon.com description: While director Norman Jewison's Moonstruck is a romantic cornerstone, this 1994 film is often overlooked. It's a sweet valentine about a young woman, aptly named Faith (Marisa Tomei, never cuter), who chases an unknown man to Europe because the name "Damon Bradley" was once spelled on an Ouija board as her true love. With her sister-in-law (Bonnie Hunt, whose own marriage seems to be falling apart), she travels the streets of Rome looking for Damon Bradley.
And lo and behold, she literally runs into a man claiming to be Damon. Is this meant to be? Faith certainly thinks so. Robert Downey Jr. (also never cuter) plays Damon in a role that showcases his charms. He shows his quick wit in handing Faith's advances and his absolute devotion to her when the winds change. Despite the cuteness factor, this is a movie to fall in love with.
2) You've got mail: This is less "hot" and more "cute". It's definitely lighter on the romance, but still very cute and sweet and, of course, there's a happy ending....it's a romantic comedy! Here's the description: Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) is a cheerfully rapacious merchant whose chain of book superstores is gobbling up smaller, more specialized shops such as the children's bookstore owned by Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan). Their lives run in close parallel in the same idealized neighborhood, yet they first meet anonymously, online, where they gradually nurture a warm, even intimate correspondence. As they begin to wonder whether this e-mail flirtation might lead them to be soul mates, however, they meet and clash over their colliding business fortunes.
Others that are just amazing!!!:
While You Were Sleeping
Notting Hill
Sleepless in Seattle
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
What Women Want
As you can see, I've got this category nailed....Ask me for more!!!

The Young Victoria, based on Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. I thought it was a great movie, if you like that sort of thing.
