Best Movies to Watch With Your Partner: 25 Ideas for Your Next Movie Night

Choosing a movie with your partner sounds easy until both of you have different tastes.

One person wants a comedy. The other wants a thriller. Someone suggests a movie you've already watched. Twenty minutes later, you're still scrolling through Netflix.

To make your next movie night easier, we've put together 25 movies across romance, comedy, thriller, sci-fi, animation, and drama. There's something here whether you want a cozy night in, a movie for date night, or something you can actually agree on.

How to Choose a Movie With Your Partner

Still can't decide?

Try narrowing your choice down by asking three simple questions:

What mood are you in? Do you want something funny, romantic, scary, exciting, or emotional?

How much time do you have? A two-and-a-half-hour movie isn't ideal when you only have an hour and a half before bed.

What have you already watched together? Keeping track of your shared watchlist makes this much easier.

Keep a Shared Movie Watchlist

One of the easiest ways to stop having the same “what should we watch?” conversation every night is to keep a list of movies you both want to see.

That's why we built StreamLog.

StreamLog is a shared movie, TV, and anime watchlist for couples. You can add titles together, track what you're watching, rate movies, and see your shared average rating.

You can also:

• Track titles as want to watch, watching, watched, dropped, or on hold.
• Save direct Netflix, Prime Video, or Crunchyroll links.
• Discover movies, TV shows, and anime and add them to your list.
• Invite your partner with a shared link.
• Keep your current watchlist pinned so it's easy to find.

Instead of scrolling through old messages trying to remember which movie your partner recommended last week, keep everything in one shared place.

Final Thought

The best movie for a couple isn't necessarily the one with the highest rating. It's the one both of you actually want to watch.

Save a few ideas, make your own shared movie list, grab some popcorn, and stop spending half the night deciding what to watch.
