Your boyfriend sounds like a cranky-pants! He won't watch one movie of your choosing? That's not cool, Broseph. Sometimes we have to take the occasional Sandra Bullock grenade to justify making you watch Robocop for the fortieth time.

Anyway, here's what you should do: stick to comedies. Sure, there are some guy-friendly movies you would probably dig, but he shouldn't always win this battle. Plus, comedies will be his gateway drug to romantic comedies. Like tricking a kid to eat vegetables by putting cheese sauce on his broccoli, we're going to turn your guy into a romantic comedy junkie in a few easy steps.

1) Suggest checking out some classic comedies neither of you have seen. Ghostbusters, Spinal Tap, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Jerk, Stripes, A Fish Called Wanda, Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Raising Arizona, Heathers, Airplane, Kentucky Fried Movie, Young Frankenstein, After Hours, Kingpin, Borat, Dr. Strangelove, Tropic Thunder, Anchorman, or The Big Lebowski are all movies everyone should be required by law to see. Also, you can never go wrong with a Steve Martin or Bill Murray marathon.

2) Work the favorite actor/favorite genre angle. Does he like Bill Murray movies? Get Groundhog Day, for my money the greatest romantic comedy ever made. (Or try the underrated Quick Change for the discerning Murray nut.) Is he a fan of mob movies? Try the still hilarious Michelle Pfeiffer romantic comedy Married to the Mob. There's always the action/comedy genre. Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours, Shaun of the Dead and Mr. and Mrs. Smith are all fun and not too violent.

3) Next, sprinkle in a little romance. I've never met a guy who didn't like Annie Hall, Princess Bride, Say Anything, Clueless, Mean Girls, 40 Year Old Virgin or When Harry Met Sally. This is where the gateway drug part kicks in. Before he knows it, he'll be watching Sleepless in Seattle or While You Were Sleeping with minimal complaint. Just keep him away from any movie starring Katherine Heigl that isn't Knocked Up. Seriously, she needs a new agent stat.

Comic book and fantasy/sci-fi movies are good bets for "guy flicks" you can both enjoy. The Batman movies, X-Men 2, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Superman, Superman II, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Iron Man, the original Star Wars trilogy, the Indiana Jones movies, Goonies, the Back to the Future trilogy, Legend, and Labyrinth are all movies that guys love that are pretty light on the violence.

Finally, if he hates actors so much, try animation. Pixar movies (Toy Story, Up, Ratatouille, The Incredibles), '90s Disney movies (Aladdin, Lion King), and other animated flicks (Iron Giant, Triplets of Belleville) are great for date night.
