I asked, you answered, and I was blown away by the responses. It seems you guys all jumped at the idea of a date night movie checklist, so I though why not? Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and a Valentine’s Date Night movie checklist is a perfect way to celebrate!

Though it can never rival the Family Movie Night tradition, my husband and I love filling our free time snuggling up on the couch, making some popcorn, and watching our favorite films. It’s not as easy for us to get out of the house right now so putting the kids to bed early and enjoying a some time alone is usually as good as it gets.

Buttttt… my husband and I have very different tastes in movies so it can often take a full feature-length of time before we’ve even picked what we’re going to watch! But there are a few romantic comedy classics that we can both agree on (or that I overruled him on) so I’ve made that list and I’m bringing it here to you! I’ve included some great genre bridgers on this list as well as some lesser-known favorites that I’m sure you’ll love!

Crazy Rich Asians

Jerry Maguire

Love and Basketball

There have been two constants in Monica and Quincy’s lives. Each other and basketball. It’s a one-on-one game with high stakes.

Love Simon

A coming-of-age tale with a difference. Simon Spier keeps a huge secret from his family, his friends, and all of his classmates: he’s gay. Simon has a love connection with a boy, Blue, by email, but the only problem is that Simon has no idea who he’s talking to.
