Sometimes the best date nights are the ones spent at home, cuddled up watching a great movie. From rom-coms to couples having adventures, and even a few fantasy romances, check out our streaming guide for the best date movies to watch with your special someone.
Date night movies always involve a couple. Maybe they’re just meeting, maybe they’re experiencing a life-changing moment together, or maybe they’re even having a daring adventure that changes their relationship forever. Whatever genre you enjoy watching, here’s some great date night movies you’ll love.
Obviously, the list includes romantic favorites like You’ve Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally. These perennial favorites have been popular for decades…and for good reason. With excellent performances and relatable characters, these timeless classics continue to be enjoyable year after year.
But maybe you want something with a little more razzle-dazzle and spectacle. Moulin Rouge! is a musical classic about a bohemian writer who falls in love with Satine, a courtesan and performer at the famed Moulin Rouge. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the movie is a stunning masterpiece filled with colorful visuals, great songs, and a truly unique vibe. If you love the fantastical and larger-than-life feeling of Moulin Rouge!, also check out Big Fish. Tim Burton’s fantasy epic follows a young man who journeys through a magical world in search of his lover. Along the way, he encounters giants, witches, traveling carnivals, and more. It’s a distinct and quirky romantic movie that Burton fans will love.
If you’re watching a movie on Valentine’s Day (which is arguably the ultimate date night) why not check out the rom-com that’s literally about the holiday, Valentine’s Day. The movie centers around a group of interwoven characters on Valentine’s Day who all have their own stories to tell. But most notably, the movie was known for its massive ensemble cast that included Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts…and yes, even Taylor Swift.
There’s also tons of great LGBTQ date movies like the seductive and gripping drama Call Me By Your Name, and the coming-of-age rom-com Love, Simon. Or, if you want some good laughs, why not try great comedies like Date Night, about a couple who (just like you) are trying to enjoy a romantic date night…but wind up getting thrown in the middle of a mob feud. Starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell, the movie is an unexpectedly hilarious date movie you’ll love.
