Is "going to a movie" a good first date?

I think going to the cinema gives you something to talk about when you leave, especially if you don't know the person very well.

I think it's a lousy date, BUT if it is just to start off (and meet in a public place if you met online) then I think it's okay as long as you are going to have food or take a walk, etc. to talk afterwards. To just go to a movie and nothing else would be a sucky date!

Movies aren't a good first date, since as others have said, you can't really get to know someone when you're supposed to be quiet!

Movies don't leave enough room to get to know someone.

SO? Are movies a good ... more
I prefer getting to know the person over amazing food.

For a first date you should do something that let's you talk and get to know each other, like going to dinner, coffee, taking a walk in a park, something like that. Movies are good dates after you've been on a few dates when you just want to be around each other. I wish that relationships could always be that exciting glow that the first few months are.

I dont going to the movies as a first date. you cant really do much.
going to a concert as a first date is alot of fun
you can focus on the band but focus on one another at the same time & share something with that person forever (me and my bf went to a concert in a different state as our first date and I would have to say it was the best)

I think they're fine if you know the person from somewhere else and have had the chance to talk to them a little before. It's what I did on my first date with current boyfriend, though we did wander around a bit afterwards.

Movie dates with people you're meeting for the first time are more awkward.
