The wife and I have a problem. We just don't like the same kind of films. I like a good Mafia film such as Casino and Goodfellas as they tend to be based on true events, have some brutal moments without being over the top on gore like in a horror, and they hold a level of suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat while you wait to see who's next for getting plugged in the back of the head.
The wife however likes a chick-flick rom-com and cannot tolerate any level of suspense or violence. Herein lies the dilemma as neither of us can generally abide being in the same room while the other watches their film of choice.
