The Best Date Night Movies for Couples

“The best date night movies give you something to talk about.” – Henry Adams


My husband and I recently purchased our dream home (YAY, we finally did it!), and I can’t stress enough how exciting and exhausting this whole process has been. Although we’re overwhelmingly happy about this new chapter of our lives, the last few weeks have been crazy busy… and a little relaxation is long overdue!

For couples, building a life together is a beautiful thing. But it can become quite stressful and demanding, depending on the season. During life’s hectic moments, a romantic indoor movie night can be a simple way to recharge our emotional batteries and prioritize our relationships.

1. Sylvie’s Love

2. It’s Complicated

3. You People

4. Love Jones

5. Needle in a Timestack

6. Palm Springs

7. Vacation Friends

“If we are watching movies together. Believe me, 99.9% I will be spending time to look at you.”

Sandeep Sharma

8. Loving

Couple watching a date-night movie together.

9. Me Time

10. 50 First Dates

I love this movie because it touches on a very real issue (memory loss) in a charming, fun, and romantic way. The truth about marriage, or life in general, is that we never know what’s going to happen in the future. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is trust that love will always conquer all.


As I mentioned before, an indoor movie night can be a fun, inexpensive way to prioritize your relationship with your spouse. And with so many genres to choose from, there’s something for everyone.

I hope you enjoy watching these date night movies as much as I did! Are any of your favorites on this list? Let me know in the comments!

    This list is fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoy having movie nights with my husband. However, we lean more towards Anime and action movies, I did watch Love Jones and 50 First Dates. Both movies were truly enjoyable.
