A shared movie experience with someone special is the perfect opportunity to create inside jokes and catchphrases only the two of you know of. It’s always an ideal opportunity to curl up on the couch with popcorns, a favorite classic date idea. But without the set program and hustles of a theatre, it can get tricky when you have to agree on something to watch. These recommendations will bring you a step closer to something fun to watch together.

Best movies every couple should watch together

1. 40-year-old virgin

Released in 2005, this romantic comedy takes us on a journey of a 40-year-old virgin Andy Stitzer. Although Andy is an amiable guy who is accommodating to his friends, he spends most of his time collecting action figures and playing video games. It’s not surprised he is still a virgin, but when his friends find out, they make it a priority to help him lose his virginity. Andy has set his eyes on a single mom and shop owner Trish. Steve Carell plays Andy before he played Gru in the Despicable Me series.

2. Closer

This film follows the lives of two couples who meet, fall out of love, swap partners, and swap back. The relationships grow from fond and loving to deceitful when a man from one couple meets a woman in the other. Things spiral out of control from there as the couples wound each other to extreme extents, more like what humans are capable of. As one of the top Netflix Movies, the film stars Julia Roberts, Clive Owen, Jude Law, and Natalie Portman.

3. Friends with benefits

A romantic comedy sees two friends make a pact to get intimate with no strings attached, but like every other such relationship, it’s a recipe for disaster. One person will always want more. The film follows the twists in the age-old question “can you have sex with someone without falling for them.” When you are Justine Timberlake or Mila Kunis, it’s hard not to, and the two must fight to keep their friendship and romance without falling for each other.

4. How to lose a guy in 10 days

An advertising executive makes a bet with two of his female co-workers that he can make a woman fall in love with him in ten days. In another part of town, Andie, a writer, is working a piece on how to lose a guy in ten days. As fate would have it, the two meet at a bar that night, and the games begin. The hidden agenda in both camps are tacked well in secrecy. Nothing beats a happy ending, but the twists and turns in this film you keep you entertained.

The film industry has tons of movies coming out every year, but every once in a while, it’s great to reminisce with your special one with a good-old film. Romantic comedies are the way to go as their reflection of real-life remind you of how to treat each other, and what made you fall in love in the first place.
