As a movie buff and the girlfriend of a guy who isn’t a major fan of romantic movies, this has been my experience. Finding the right movie can be tricky. Nonetheless, after two years of dating my guy, I’ve identified the ideal movies to watch with him.
While I wouldn’t argue that all men despise romantic comedies, making your man sit through a sap fest when his tastes lean toward action and adventure might be a challenge. Instead, it’s best to choose movies that appeal to both of your likes and strike a balance within them.
1. Up
Watch this movie with a loved one if you’re a fan of both adventure and cuteness. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve watched it, this film will never get old.
An old man’s lifelong trip is comically disrupted by the arrival of a young scout and his dog in this endearing and heartwarming cartoon. As a romantic date, why should you watch this movie together? Fun, laughing, and even a few tears are all part of the package.
2. 50 First Dates
You’re so forgetful, your partner tells you, isn’t it? Take a seat together, make some popcorn, and enjoy this comedy from Adam Sandler. Let yourself be amused, especially with Rob Schneider as a constant presence on screen.
This movie shows the story of a man who falls in love with a girl who has no short-term memory after an accident. As a result, he’s now on a mission to win her heart every day. Isn’t she just the luckiest woman in the world? Drew Barrymore, the skilled and beautiful actress.
3. Along Came Polly
From an odd pairing of gorgeous Jennifer Aniston and the comedic Ben Stiller, a film that’s weird, amusing, and unpredictably unpredictable. The first few months of a relationship might be difficult, but this romantic comedy can help you get through it. Experiencing a new partner for sex and having humiliating restroom mishaps are both addressed in this film.
If you want to see how two individuals who couldn’t be more different can still be drawn to one another and make things work, this is the movie for you and your lover.
4. Slumdog Millionaire
This film serves as a constant reminder of the transformative power of game shows like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. No, that’s not true. Honestly, this is one of those well-executed movies.
One of the greatest love stories of all time is unfolding right now. An urban teen from the ghetto finds fame on a popular game show, finds love, and more in this heartwarming drama. Overall, it’s a terrific movie for couples who want to be immersed in an action-packed tale.
5. Love and Basketball
This is a well-made sports-themed chick film that’s a joy to watch. As a romantic classic, it has earned its place in the annals of cinematic history.
It depicts the difficulty of juggling a family, job, and relationships as it follows a young couple into maturity. If you’re looking for a romantic date and your guy is a sports enthusiast, this is a perfect alternative.
6. A Quiet Place
You’ll be terrified and moved by the hit movie featuring real-life couple John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. This isn’t your typical horror movie. It depicts a family’s fight to fend off sound-hunting creatures.
Watching this movie with your significant other is a great date idea because it contains a wide range of emotions, from the eerie to the silly.
7. The Lord of the Rings
This trilogy is a massive commitment, but it is well worth the time and energy it takes to complete. In these films, the plot of Tolkien’s fanciful novel is brought to life. If you want to make your guy happy, add this movie collection to your list.
This is a story of friendship, loyalty, and love that’s woven together in many different ways. A shared experience of seeing this trilogy will strengthen your relationship. You’ll be able to connect with the characters, the plot, and the cinematography because of the length of time you’ll spend watching the film.
8. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey make for an endearing and timeless pairing in this film that will have you wanting to see it again and again. This film would not have worked without Hudson’s radiant presence and McConaughey’s charismatic persona. Because of the characters’ wit and sass, this is a terrific movie to see with your significant other.
9. Pretty Woman
An uncommitted playboy billionaire encounters a southern belle who has transformed into a street hooker. Yes, that’s an unusual pairing, but it does the job! This classic love story, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, examines how even the most unexpected of pairings may lead to a fulfilling relationship.
It’s not as serious as some of the other choices, but if you can wait through Baywatch for him, he’ll be fine with this. Plus, one hour and forty minutes of Julia Roberts is hard to resist.
10. My Best Friend’s Wedding
One of Julia Roberts’ greatest roles, this film proves that there is no such thing as friendship between men and women, as one of them will always end up in love with the other. Whether or not this is a love tale comparable to your own, the wit and charisma of young Cameron Diaz should be enough to draw you in.
