You want romance? Or just find people to watch romantic movies with?

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Green-Bay-Ranks-No-1-in-Redbox-Survey-of-Most-Romantic-Cities-290347831.html 

The Midwest is the place to be for romantic movie-watching this Valentine's Day, according to a new survey that ranked the most romantic cities in the country based on movie rentals.
Oakbrook Terrace-based Redbox tracked the number of romantic movie titles checked out in cities across the U.S. and ranked them based on the number. The top 10 cities all reside in the Midwest, with Green Bay, Wis., taking the No. 1 spot.

Green Bay was followed by Evansville, Ind.; Lansing, Mich.; Mankato, Minn.; Zanesville, Ohio; Ames, Iowa; Rochester, Minn.; Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo, Mich.; Toledo, Ohio; and Lima, Ohio.
The Midwest was deemed more romantic than all other regions in the U.S., according to the survey, which identified the top states as Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and Iowa.

The survey results also named "The Notebook" as the "most romantic movie of all time," followed by "Titanic" and "Pretty Woman." Concerning the actors and actresses in romantic movies, Americans chose Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lawrence as their top picks for a celebrity valentine.
Romantic movie rentals skyrocket during the week of Feb. 14, according to Redbox, which tracked a 66 percent increase that week as compared to the first week of February last year.
This year's romantic titles available at Redbox locations include "If I Stay," "The Fault in Our Stars," "What If," "The Notebook" and "The Vow."

I hated the movie "Pretty Woman".
It made being a whore look like some kind of good thing. Romanticizing prostitution is not exactly a great idea.

"You've got Mail" is a romantic movie which I enjoy watching with my wife. "The Notebook" too. "The Lake House" is another good one.

What i mean is, making Julia Roberts meet a rich guy that will "wisk" her away from her bad life.
It just doesn't happen.
To young women, it makes it look like "Hey, maybe it will happen for me if I become a prostitute!"
Thats how i see it. Maybe I'm wrong.

Oh, okay, thank you for explaining that. I see where you're coming from now. And who says that doesn't happen? Do you think the media would pound a positive slanted story down our throats? Heck no! No one wants happiness, positive stuff. We all want DOOM AND GLOOM!!!!

Look at the Tweeter on here. All this garbage about ... wait, not what this thread is bout. Sorry.

The irony of that movie, which seems to be completely over your head, is that Richard Gere was a bigger whore for what he did for a living than Julia Roberts being a prostitute. She was the more righteous of the two, which is why he fell in love with her. I know you don't receive that kind of instruction in your biblical studies - so think about it for a while before giving me the standard laughable right wing response. Why did Jesus love Mary Magdalene?

Yeah, I have killer intellect.
