While movies are not always the perfect date night choice, sometimes, when life is hectic, the DVD player and take-out from your favorite restaurant hit the spot quite nicely. Of course, you have to have the right date night movies to set the proper tone. Rather than going out and getting the most recent Redbox blockbuster, consider these old standards instead.
Dangerous Liaisons
What movie offers more for a date night movie fest. Seduction. Intrigue. Scandal. It’s all in there and more. The acting is superb. The film is engrossing. The time period is far removed from each day. It’s a great escape film the two of you can enjoy together – over and over again if necessary.
Aliens
You’ll have a hard time finding a better date night movie than one that will have her literally jumping into your lap. This film has everything and more. Adrenaline is a standard while watching the film that is well acted and features characters that are engrossing to say the least. After the film is over you can have a ton of fun keeping up all night together because, really, who can sleep after watching that?
The Tourist
Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Need anyone say more? This movie is filled with twists, turns, and misdirection. Once you know how the story ends, it’s worth getting back and watching again to search for hints and clues. Great date night fun for a film that’s hard to grow tired of.
The Blindside
This one is a “bring the box of Kleenex” film. While the story itself isn’t sad, it is, at the very least poignant. This makes it a sure hit with ladies for date night and the combination of Sandra Bullock and football make it a great choice for the guys at the same time. Because it’s built upon a true story makes it all the more touching and a great night to have her feeling emotional and romantic.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Another great Angelina Jolie flick, this one also stars Brad Pitt. The movie itself is action packed and full of not-so-passive aggression. If only all couples could turn out their marital difficulties so easily. It certainly will help you both appreciate the normalcy of your lives together.
Date night will never be a complete and total dud if you load up your DVD with any among one of these great date night movie. Just keep in mind that the purpose of date night is to spend time together so choose movies you’re both likely to have at least some interest in watching.
