WWYD?
My husband and I have a standing in-house date night every Friday. Every week we put E down for the night and we alternate who picks a movie to watch. There is no rule as to the movie, we just have to watch what was picked. It can be one we buy or one we own. We have watched everything from "The Wrestler" to "True Grit" to "Renaissance Road", etc. Tonight is my night and I really want to see the new Jane Eyre that came out on DVD this week.
Would you buy it and watch it with your DH knowing that he is not a fan of that type of movie?

Yep. I made DH watch Twilight with me, just to give you an idea.
And then DH wound up really liking Twilight. He's weird/awesome like that. Now he's the one suggesting we re-watch the films. So dreams do come true.
That said, we don't usually watch stuff the other has no interest in. We tend to like most of the same media anyways. We do have one set of shows the other wouldn't normally watch that we alternate between, but honestly after we got into a bit we both kind of like the other's show.
However, I could also easily see how, with the wrong kind of couple dynamic, it could turn into a competitive "every other movie night I'm forced to watch something I abhor". Make the call based on how opposed to it he feels and how you'd feel if you had to watch something comparable that you didn't want to. Once, or every other time if you make it a pattern.

I wouldn't, but mostly because I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much watching it with him. It's something I'd enjoy more watching with a girlfriend. There are enough movies out there that we both want to see that I could probably find something else to watch.
And pp - I hear True Grit was amazing, and I actually really want to see it!
