The Grand Budapest Hotel (watching now on HULU). And there is pipe smoking! 
Rest her soul, she enjoyed about anything I watched. Me? Not so much. She and the kid loved 007's and the early Star Wars movies. I enjoyed the early Bond franchise but not the last four or five so much. The trick isn't the movies but, enjoying the time together. For me the movie was always secondary to that.
Twister!OK, a late pasta meal is about ready. What to watch and enjoy together. I happily read the first 3 pages from the great thread on movies started by @jpmcwjr. I love 'em all. She doesn't. What to watch and enjoy together
Kindly
Mike at the movies
(But I can’t look at Helen Hunt in her T shirt.

A young trophy wife, in the parlance of our times...
Anything with Kurt Russell, a big plus if his lady Goldie stars with him. Anime, any of the Marvel movies especially Deadpool. Definitely fans of John Hughes.
A timeless classic that my wife is always okay with me putting on.
May sound like a novel idea, lol, but why not let her pick?
That and Outlaw Josey Wales are the only two movies that I really like and will have Mrs. Rookie leaving the room.
@macaroni you might want to try a pair of older movies from the 80s; Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile. Both are action/romance/comedies starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner with Danny DeVito in a supporting role.
Another good one is Hopscotch starring Walter Matthau. Do I need to go on? Ok, also Ned Beatte, Glenda Jackson, and the youngest Sam Waterson you've ever seen.
Last suggestion is something more for her, but there's enough in there for you as well. The Americanization of Emily was a delightful romcom set in WWII London. James Garner and Julie Andrews play the leads with James Coburn and someone named Melvyn Douglas supporting.
If all else fails, anything with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara is a good bet. Or Donavan's Reef.
Any of the The Thin Man movies with Myrna Loy and William Powell. It’s the perfect mix of comedy and mystery to satisfy both of our tastes, and there’s nothing like putting an old black and white movie on, especially on a cold night
I was able to get my wife into the Thin Man.
What about the Quite Man. Young Maureen O”Hara is very easy on the eyes.
There’s not much but it would be the Harry Potter films, classic Disney films from our childhood era and The Princess Bride.
October through December, Great American Family is on so if we sit down to watch anything it’s that.

Jeremiah Johnson and Outlaw Josey Whales are timeless classics. Fortunate for me, the misses enjoys them as well.
