While men enjoy normal movies involving submarines and explosions and daring rescues, women prefer movies that involve British actors and shrubbbery and agonizingly slow plots. And they want you to watch these movies with them. The only benefit to these movies is that your spouse will be all weepy and emotional and want to be hugged. This can lead to a romantic interlude, as long as you can avoid slipping into a shrubbery-induced coma before the movie's over.
