Gary;
Well if the wife likes Denzel Washington (which mine does) you might get away with it just fine. Just be sure that the dinner is a good one (no McDonald's!!!). Worse that can happen is you hear "I should have know that movie would have to do with trains!" for a month! In my case, the wife is actually more interested in seeing this movie than I am. I have yet to recover from some of the made for TV "train accident" movies that I saw some years ago.
Back when I worked for the L&N, a bunch of us went to see the movie "Emperor of North Pole" with Lee Marvin one night after work and really got a kick out of it in spite of all the Hollywood stuff in it. After seeing that movie, we'd tease each other by using some of the nicknames in that movie - "The Shack", "Brakie", "Hogger", "A No. 1", etc.
