The 5th of November isn't a 'fictional' iconic date; the rhyme relates to the [Gunpowder Plot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot) of 1605.

I know and understand, that's why I specified in movies. In a context of movies/ TV show.  Same goes with February 2nd. It's not a fictional date but it could be someone favorite date from Groundhog Day.

Possibly the temporal nexus of the entire universe! Or it could be an amazing coincidence. Edit: or Old Biff could have just gone into the time circuits' history and picked it out that way.

The local art theater showed Mean Girls on October 3rd, with "It's October 3rd" on the marquee.

November 5th 1605 is the date Guy Fawkes and others intended to blow up the British Parliament: that’s not fiction, it’s the Gunpowder Plot, and the rhyme is a very old one.

The guy asked for a fictional day and you gave him a real date

No, he gave an example of what he meant by a fictional date and I pointed out it was real.

Yes I know. Same goes with other date * such as Christmas day or Independence day * I mean this as a discussion of date in movies or TV shows, because it's fiction in the world of movies

The Cubs winning the world series in 2015 in Back to the Future 2 was pretty memorable. They were only off by one year...

April 8 is Rex Manning day. Empire Records. April 25 is Perfect day. Miss Congeniality These are my favorites Love your idea for the question, your example is lacking as you keep needing to defend from a real holiday. On a personal note, years ago my kid, age 6, dropped the F-bomb, it was noted in my Facebook memories. When that one shows it is F-Bomb day.

definitely gotta go with the spaghetti scene from Lady and the Tramp. it’s such a classic moment and just screams romance. what a vibe!

Not a date per se but in the 1996 movie "Swingers", Mike (Jon Favreau) meets this Nikki girl in a club and gets her phone number. The answering phone scene that follows is pure brilliance. This is a 10/10 movie, a lesser known gem and criminally underrated. I've watched it after each breakup since 2007 and I highly recommend it, especially for guys as it's a "guy movie" at its purest. You might have heard the phrase "Vegas, baby, Vegas!" In other films or shows. That's from this film.

When Jack Lemmon, impersonating "Daphne!" to avoid mobsters, goes on a date with Joe E. Brown's multimillionaire. The culminating scene is the hilarious end to the film. Some Like It Hot - highly recommended! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mHhr-aaLnI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mHhr-aaLnI)

The dinner scene from Goodfellas where Henry takes Karen to the Copacabana through the kitchen - that whole long tracking shot is burned into my brain forever. Way more memorable than any cheesy romantic date scene imo. Also gotta mention the diner scene from Heat, not really a date but that De Niro/Pacino face-off hits harder than most romance plots in movies these days.

I guess that I wasn't very specific with the word "date " but this is awsome too!
