I got a suggestion that it is an episode from "American Playhouse" s06e10 - Hot Summer Winds.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319517/
"Based on two short stories by Hisaye Yamamoto this play details the domestic tension between an illiterate Japanese immigrant farmer and his educated wife in 1930s California".
My friend replied too, although there are differences, ale it is solved probably.
" the story line is exactly the same as the movie I'm thinking of. There are some differences, perhaps I don't remember as well as I thought. Could this have been released around 1970 originally, and then re-released in the early 90s again? Hisaye Yamamoto must have written both works. I'm going to research this and get back to you. Many thanks friend!"
My friend found this. It is "Pandemic" (2007).
So maybe?
No Greater Love (1995 TV Movie)
Maybe "Hello Sister, Goodbye Life" (2006). I didn't watch, but it has similar plot.
And maybe "China Strike Force" (2000) ?
Maybe "Asylum" (2005) ? It is some similar.
Maybe:
Thor: Hammer of the Gods (TV Movie 2009)
It is some similar and I remember vikings and different monsters.
OK. I didn't find nothing similar. Perhaps it is "your" movie :-)
OK. And "My sassy girl" (2001) ?
"A young man sees a drunk, cute woman standing too close to the tracks at a metro station in Seoul and pulls her back. She ends up getting him into trouble repeatedly after that, starting on the train."
Other possibility is "My sassy girl (2008) is some similar too.
" When Charlie is accepted at an elite college in Manhattan, it seems dreams can come true. However, just as Charlie is settling in and keeping his eye on the prize, a woman totally diverts his path. Beautiful Jordan (Elisha Cuthbert) appears very drunk and lands on a subway track. Yes, indeed, Charlie rescues her. It soon becomes a pattern, as Jordan self proclaims that she is in a "reckless" phase. "
S vyara v ritnika (1984) ? (english: With Belief in the Kick)
"The lazy farmer wakes up dark from sleep . He banishes his wife, his pig, his chickens, his horse - Finally, he's all alone. He falls asleep and dreams of all those he has banished."
And "Good Luck Chuck" ?
OK. Could be: "I'm with Lucy" (2002)
"It's an hour before Lucy's wedding and her best friend wants to hear all about what led up to that moment. So, Lucy tells about the five men she had blind dates with over the past year (Doug, Gabriel, Bobby, Barry, and Luke) and her experiences with each one. As each date is told at the same time as the other four, the many ups and downs of new relationships are shown. So, while some dates start off terribly, but end well others are just the opposite. But which one of the five men is Lucy about to walk down the aisle with?"
I don't have other idea. Maybe you will try this method:
https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=blind-date&ref_=kw_ref_rt_vt&sort=moviemeter,asc&mode=detail&page=1&genres=Comedy%2CRomance&num_votes=100%2C20000&release_date=1990%2C2005
It sounds like "Consenting Adults" (1992). I remember very similar scene and it is important part of a plot.
Could be: "Blind Date" (1987) ?
"Walter Davis is a workaholic. His attention is all to his work and very little to his personal life or appearance. Now he needs a date to take to his company's business dinner with a new important Japanese client. His brother sets him up with his wife's cousin Nadia, who is new in town and wants to socialize, but he was warned that if she gets drunk, she loses control and becomes wild. How will the date turn out - especially when they encounter Nadia's ex-boyfriend David?"
OK. It sounds interesting. I didn't watch, so I am interested. If you will sure, you mark a thread (SOLVED) 90s movie. American couple lives somewhat isolated while drinking and having a lot of sex.
OK. Do you remember something more? Maybe it is "Under Heaven" (1998).
"Cynthia and Buck are a young couple with little but love. Soon Cynthia drops the cough syrup and beer drinking Buck: her dreams of being a princess did not involve an unemployed boyfriend who steals steaks and fruit-pies under his shirt. Setting out on her own, a devastated Buck left behind, Cynthia gets a job caring for rich but terminally ill Eleanor. As God would have it, Buck comes back into the picture. Cynthia persuades him to charm the self-conscious Eleanor, to gain favors in her will. What ensues is an intense love triangle, a passionate example of the redeeming power of love and forgiveness."
It's long shot, but maybe it was newer? Thanksgiving Family Reunion (2003)
Perhaps it is "Barfuss" (2005) - "Nick Keller has issues keeping a job. In this first day as a janitor at a mental hospital he gets fired. However, it is then when he meets Leila, a troubled young woman who never wears shoes, and prevents her from hanging herself. Leila follows him home and refuses to leave his apartment and return to the hospital. As Leila has been kept away from the world and society, Nick engages into showing the world to the strange new girl. While trying not to lose his patience, he ends up falling for her."
I think about "Standing Still" (2005), because it contains similar song, so I will check this trope.
