Date movie Quote by Debra Winger
“I think it's a great thing that women went out in droves to see Sex and the City movie. I think it's wonderful and I think women have always shown they're looking both to be entertained and challenged in a theatre. I don't think women are afraid of movies that make them think; make them feel sad. The movies that I've been associated with are not exactly Sex and the City but women are leading the way to the theatre on those. They used to call it a date movie where the girl gets to choose.”

![“I bizarrely think that this [Sin City] is the perfect date movie. If a guy took me on a date to see this movie, I would marry him, for sure. It's bad-ass chicks and rad dudes, who are sexy, all over the place, and there's so much cool action.” quote by Jessica Alba](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4e4/jessica-alba-3395_action_i-bizarrely-think-that-this-sin-city-is_868220.jpg)
