Is there a single film that your significant other said that they hated/didn't like that you'd feel obligated to break up with them?

No. We have two TV's in the house, and we've been through tougher rivalries. I'm a Packer fan, he is a Bears fan. Somehow we make it work.

You win with me! #GoPackGo I've always found it more fun to date somebody of a different fane base.

It helps that the bears have been terrible for a while. He "hate" watches the bears for several years. I couldn't imagine it working in the days of Forest Gregg and Ditka. 😁

Usually the people who ask these types of films usually never have partner's.

I don`t care if people like or hate a movie. Sadly not all people feel this way with how people have gotten obsessed with movies and very angry in regards to people disagreeing with their tastes. Just look at how IMDB turned out in regards to big franchises like the MCU, DCEU, and I can only imagine how the Star Wars boards were with anybody that disagreed with liking those movies.

I dont know. Maybe not a single movie but if they hated horror all together that would be a deal breaker. I actually loved someone that loved Titanic which I hate so I am pretty tolerant.

People have different tastes. If I was going out with a girl who hated a lot of my favourite movies and whose overall taste in movies differed radically from my own, it wouldn't necessarily kill the relationship. It might make it difficult when deciding what movie to watch on a given night, however, and I'm sure many drawn-out arguments would result.

As ashamed as I am to say it, probably yes. And the movie is Casablanca.
Don't get me wrong here, I could probably still love a girl who didn't like Casablanca--the filmmaking, the acting, even a particular character. My point is that, if she despised the principles of that movie, we probably could not form any kind of connection, because the film so represents what I believe to be true love and the principles that I try to fight for.
Very few people, even those who think Casablanca overrated (which I don't--not by any means), hate its principles.
(I write this because I know someone who does, for reasons that he never could really articulate at least to me. I think he's the only person I know who does.)
I am enough of a traditionalist and a romantic to believe in things like true love and the moral virtues, and those would be important in my falling in love with a girl. That's why I choose this one.

I dated a girl who called ET a "worm." I knew then it was over. Too callous for me if you don't love ET!

I don`t really understand why people get obsessed with movies or books\tv shows for that matter. I mean i enjoy movies and the other stuff as much as the next person. But i don`t get obsessed about it as some people do. I am really only invested in it when i watch it. I never really understood how anybody can get mad just because a person likes or dislike something you don`t like ( when i say you i am talking about people in general. )

Is there a single film that your significant other said that they hated/didn't like that you'd feel obligated to break up with them? Never--We have 4 TV's between the two us--We frequently watch separate movies and TV shows

No. Differences in movie tastes is a shallow reason to break up with someone. Fortunately, I have eclectic taste in movies.

Capische? I hope nobody misconstrues my meaning in this post. What I tried to say is, it's not the movie itself that would cause such a reaction for me (as "Fangirl" accurately says, that's a terribly shallow--and, indeed, obsessive and foolish--reason). Rather, it's the principles and sentiments behind the movie, that characterize the movie. A parallel may be made to A Christmas Carol. Imagine if someone said, "Nah, you know what, pre-redeemed Ebenezer Scrooge was the good guy there! He shoulda just let Tiny Tim die, and too bad for Bob Cratchit!" (This is quite different from someone's criticizing Dickens's style, or the characterizations, or even whether or not the work is too "hokey.") Now, then, someone can perfectly validly have those reactions to the work, but I think they are unfortunate and, indeed, dehumanizing attitudes that point to a deeper problem with the moral character of the person making those judgments. That was my intent in stating that I should have difficulty with someone who despised the principles of the film Casablanca, rather than the film itself. Does that make sense?

Nah. No movie is worth throwing away a meaningful relationship. As long as one partner isn't actively trying to prevent the other from watching, it's no big deal.

Maybe. My tastes run the gamut from classic to nerdy. I can't see myself with anyone who didn't have a nerdy side to begin with.
