Movies are fun to watch, but it is extra fun when you watch it with your bae at home. You can avoid the long lines, overpriced concession food, and the potential of bringing home bed bugs. Rent movies from DVD Netflix and avoid the hassles of going to the theater!
It can be a challenge to choose a movie to watch together. Each person has their own tastes and thoughts on what makes an interesting movie. This is why I recommend choosing three movies to watch together. You each pick your own favorite, then choose a movie you can watch together. Relationships are about compromise.
Whatever you choose to watch, make sure it’s something you will both enjoy. Movies were created to entertain us. Some movies make us laugh, while others make us cry. You will know what will draw you closer on the couch. So browse the library and have some movies shipped to your home. Plan your movie date nights in advance! Meanwhile, check out my suggestions below.
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)
Before Steve Carell became Gru in the Despicable Me series, he entertained us in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Steve plays Andy Stitzer, an amiable guy who is way too accommodating to his friends. At the age of 40, he lives alone and spends hours playing video games and collecting action figures.

It’s no surprise that Andy has never been intimate with anyone, so when they find out, his friends make it a priority for Andy to lose his virginity. However, Andy has other plans and has set his sights on a local shop owner and single mom named Trish.
Date Night (2010)
Suburbanites Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) have fallen into a routine. They attempt to ignite the spark in their relationship by visiting a trendy Manhattan bistro. They receive more than they hoped for when their identities are mistaken and they’re thrust into a world of corruption.
Friends with Benefits (2011)
Jamie (Mila Kunis) and Dylan (Justin Timberlake) make a pact. That pact is to be intimate with each other with no entanglements. This is a recipe for disaster because there’s risk that one person will want more.
50 First Dates (2004)
Henry (Adam Sandler) becomes infatuated with Lucy (Drew Barrymore). But a big problem is her short-term memory loss; she can’t recall anything that’s happened in the past 24 hours. Each and every day, Henry has to court Lucy like it’s the first time. This leads to several comedic and touching scenes.
The Wedding Date (2004)
Kat Ellis (Debra Messing) feels like time is running out on her hopes to meet Mr. Right. Her sister’s wedding adds to the frustration when she realizes she may have to attend it alone. This prompts her to recruit a boyfriend in the form of a male escort, Nick (Dermot Mulroney), for the event because her ex-boyfriend will be in attendance. Get ready to laugh because there are so many hilarious scenes to choose from.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)
This movie is one of the best romantic comedies that I’ve watched to date. It does have serious tones, but it’s a good balance between comedy and serious. The movie is based on a novel by Deborah Moggach. If you think romance doesn’t exist past the age of 60, then you definitely need to watch this film. It was directed by John Madden. The sequel, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015), wasn’t based on a novel but is still entertaining and continues to show how the characters have evolved.
Atonement
Briony (a girl of wealthy class) doesn’t allow her sister Cecilia and Robbie (son of a servant of the sister’s family) to be together despite the attraction and affection they feel. In addition, the Second World War and bad coincidences distance them more from the great love they feel for each other. A movie full of passion, drama and incredible performances of Saoirse Ronan, Keira Knightley and James McAvoy.
