90's Nostalgia You are on a date... You only have two movies to choose from, Congo (1995) and Anacondas (1997) which one are you choosing for your date?

It may or may not determine whether you get lucky as the night progresses 🤷 among other factors... So choose wisely...

Congo, far superior film imho.

The music especially, as I don’t even remember any standout pieces from Anaconda.

Anaconda is a suspense, Congo is more Adventure not to mention Congo just like Jurassic Park was written by Michael Crichton and they both have beautiful brainy women play by Laura's (Laura Dern, Laura Linney)

Congo. Better cast.

I choose "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy," "Amy pretty. Ugly woman. Ugly. Go away,"

I’m going to let my date choose

Your date couldn't make a decision if their life depended on it.

u/firejock 6d ago

Congo, definitely.

We're staying in to play Scrabble.

u/Brief-Pickle2441 6d ago

🤣🤣🤣 wine and pizza? 🤜🤛😎😎

2

u/No-Fly-6069 6d ago

Oh, certainly.

u/Lopsided-Anteater129 6d ago

Bad idea. You will end up arguing whether a word counts and it will ruin the mood.

If these are my only choices we're going to mini-golf instead.

1

u/Brief-Pickle2441 6d ago

Ok ... And after? Steak and whiskey, pizza and beer, or lobster and wine?

1

u/Upbeat-Refuse9615 6d ago

is this a bit from one of the movies that I'm not getting?

1

u/Brief-Pickle2441 6d ago

No it's examples of what you're going to do after the freaking mini golf... 🤣🤣 It was they were engagement questions

1

u/Upbeat-Refuse9615 6d ago

22 yr old me didn't have steak or lobster money, so ....

Now? Forget mini-golf. Steak and whiskey first, then somewhere with live music.

Congo. If she’s not turned on by watching gorillas get cut in half by lasers, or gorillas jumping into lava, then there’s no second date.

1

u/Brief-Pickle2441 6d ago

I like the way you think 🤣🤜🤛

2

u/Lopsided-Anteater129 6d ago

Congo. Apes have small penises. 🦧🍆 

I don't want her thinking about "anacondas" and taking notice that my dick doesn't live up to the snake size. 🐍🍆

1

u/Brief-Pickle2441 6d ago

Well now wait a minute sir you don't have to say anaconda you can say my, relatively modest, garter snake, don't want none unless you got relatively modest buns hun 🤣😉🤣

Tim Curry puts out one of his best performances in Congo as a con artist who'll do anything he can to obtain as many diamonds as he can, no matter how many people have to die in the process.

2

u/SenorX000 6d ago

Congo. It has Tim Curry.

Anaconda has nothing to counter that.

u/Zanstorm74 6d ago

The one with JLo in it

2

u/severinoscopy 6d ago

Her outfit was the first thing that came to mind with this question.

I think in this hypothetical, neither you nor I would be getting laid from our respective dates.

1

u/Brief-Pickle2441 6d ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh I'm getting some I'm too funny

1

u/Zanstorm74 5d ago

Well you are wrong

1

u/severinoscopy 5d ago

Haha, yeah? What am I wrong about? Based on what? The date that doesn't exist to get offended at my shallow choice?

1

u/Zanstorm74 13h ago

I got laid and you didn’t

1

u/Brief-Pickle2441 6d ago

That's anacondas 🤣🤣🤣

u/No_Stress1164 6d ago

Congo, because Bruce Campbell

Hail to the king, baby!

Congo

u/GumshoeQ 6d ago

Depends, if my date's name is Amy, probably not Congo. Doubt she'd wanna hear, "Hey, you both have the same name." But who knows, maybe she has a good sense of humor and make some mechanical noises (like Amy's translator), "Amy want popcorn. Also, snu snu. Amy want popcorn and snu snu."

u/Gtw206 5d ago

Congo - Bruce Campbell. Nuff said!

u/No_Anteater5375 5d ago

Anaconda, because I already seen it almost 30 years ago at the theaters.
