Dorthea Seate
Whether you want to make it a romantic affair (who says you can't celebrate Valentine's Day all year round?) or just sit in silence on the sofa, finding a good film is the perfect scene setter. But we get it: Finding a movie to watch with your date or partner can be a struggle. You'll be lucky if your movie tastes align perfectly, and in the early days, you don't want to force them to watch The Notebook and send them to sleep (or creep them out).
So, we scoured Netflix for some of the best, most gripping flicks you'll be talking about long after the credits roll. To help you find a movie you will both enjoy, we've put together the 33 best date night movies here. From the Hollywood hit The Wolf of Wall Street to classic rom-coms like Murder Mystery and Two Weeks Notice to the tear-jerking true stories, Lion and The Swimmers, these are the perfect date night movies for Netflix and chill.
Okay, this movie is a cheeky test to see if your partner was a Gossip Girl fan in the past because it stars the brilliant Leighton Meester. However, long gone is her ruthless alter-ego, Blair Waldorf, as, in The Weekend Away, the actress plays a concerned friend who races against time to figure out what happened to her friend after she mysteriously vanishes during a girls' trip to Croatia. You'll both be at the edge of your seats...
Jennifer Aniston? Check. Adam Sandler. Check. Suppose you can't decide what to watch during date night. In that case, you can't possibly go wrong with this comedy mystery which sees a New York cop and his wife framed for the murder of an elderly billionaire when they head on a European getaway to reignite the spark in their marriage.
It may not have won an Oscar or anything, but we still consider Maid in Manhattan a classic. I mean, it's got JLo, it's got Ralph Fiennes and also Stanley Tucci. So, this story about a Senatorial candidate falling for a hotel maid after thinking she was a socialite when he saw her trying on a wealthy woman's dress is a must-watch for date night.
When Lucy's (Geraldine Viswanathan) boyfriend breaks up with her, she is absolutely devastated. But upon meeting hotelier Nick (Dacre Montgomery), she creates a gallery where people can leave memorabilia from their failed relationships. Of course, we assume you would not need to do anything of the sort in real life, as if you're watching this on date night, you're very smitten.
Sometimes you're both looking to bond over something more moving and emotional, and nothing will pull at both of your heartstrings than The Swimmers. Based on an incredibly inspiring true story, two Syrian sisters swim for hours in the choppy Mediterranean seas to flee their war-torn home in Damascus. After reaching Greece as asylum seekers, the younger sister stays true to her swimming dreams as she trains to compete at the Rio Olympic Games.
Always Be My Maybe, starring Ali Wong and Randall Park, centres on two childhood sweethearts who don't speak for fifteen years following a falling out before running into each other in San Francisco, where they discover that old sparks are still there. Will they give their romance another shot? This movie is a lovely one to watch during date night as it hammers home the message that no matter what happens in the past, second chances can always lead to something great.
A gem of a romance movie, Look Both Ways addresses essential topics such as unexpected pregnancy and motherhood, which makes it a vital watch with your other half. Played by Riverdale star Lili Reinhart, Natalie finds herself in two parallel realities on the eve of her college graduation. One in which she moves back home to navigate motherhood in her small Texas hometown, and the mother where she moves to Los Angeles to pursue her career.
So, if you're looking for something a bit more, okay, A LOT, steamier for date night, look no further than Lady Chatterley's Lover starring Emma Corrin and Jack O'Connell. The period drama sees married aristocrat Lady Chatterley pursuing an affair with the gamekeepers on their estate after falling out of love with her husband following a war injury. Another warning: temperatures are set to soar when you watch this.

A relatively new one to add to your list, Love At First Sight follows the story of Hadley and Oliver, who meet and fall for each other on an international flight to London. After losing each other at customs and heading their separate ways, you'd think they'd never meet again. But fate doesn't work that way. Sounds lovely right? Stars Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy, as well as Jameela Jamil as a delightful narrator.
Emma Stone can do no wrong, basically. Adapted from 1800s novel The Scarlet Letter, Easy A sees high schooler Olive's (Stone) social life unravel when she's overheard lying about losing her virginity. We see a lot of old favourites as they were starting out, including Jonah Hill, Amanda Bynes Penn Badgley, as well as ultimate stars Stanley Tucci and Lisa Kudrow.
A sweet but funny story, this rom-com sees medical sales rep Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal) meet artist Maggie (Anne Hathaway), and reassess his casual relationship with dating when he discovers she's hiding a big secret of her own. They're cute, they're sexy, you can't help but root for them. What's not to love?
A complete Noughties classic, Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo spar in a coma-ghost-meets-grumpy-widow meet cute. Ruffalo's character David comes across Elizabeth (Witherspoon) when he moves into her apartment while she's in a coma. The twist? He's the only person who can see her ghosty iteration. Cue the quest to wake Elizabeth from her coma and some definite romantic vibes.
Lily James plays a documentary maker who decides to delve deep into her childhood best friend's assisted marriage for a film project. But along the way, it causes both her and her friend Kaz (Shazad Latif) to rethink how they view romance and relationships. It's super sweet, with a very fun supporting performance from Emma Thompson.
Sometimes a mystery whodunnit can be too gritty and intense, but if you want something a little more light-hearted, then Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is the perfect watch. Daniel Craig reprises his role as Detective Benoit Blanc, who springs into action when someone at the private Greek island he's invited to by tech billionaire Miles Bron is found murdered. Kate Hudson, Janelle Mone and Madelyn Cline also star.
The Truman Show is an absolute classic and a complete must-watch! If you don't already know, the movie's plot revolves around an insurance salesman (played by Jim Carrey) who is oblivious that his whole life is a television show and that everyone, including his family members, are all actors. However, when he uncovers the truth, he hatches a plan to escape. This nineties classic was very much ahead of its time as it reminds us of the reality television genre we have today!
First of all, the cast of Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher will undoubtedly have you both pleased. I mean, what's not to love about these two?! Second, Your Place or Mine is a solid, fuss-free, enjoyable watch with its plot of BFFs and total opposites Debbie and Peter, who decide to swap their lives for a week. But as different as they are, they soon learn that what they think they both want may not necessarily be what they both need. Looks like the perfect rom-com, that isn't too sickly sweet for your other half.
