24 Netflix Movies To Queue Up On Date Night

With summer winding down and fall right around the corner, having a movie date night seems like more and more of a great idea. Cozy up on the couch, pour some wine, and watch a movie — honestly, it sounds like the perfect date. And luckily for us, we're living in the age of instant streaming. No longer do we have to go to Blockbuster to rent a movie; we can get one with the click of a button. But sometimes, you don't want to have to scroll through all of the titles to find the perfect movie, but you just want someone to suggest one to you. Well, think of me as your fairy movie mother, because I have assembled a list of the 24 Netflix movies perfect for date night. All that time spent searching can now be spent kissing and cuddling, instead.

Some people think that a date movie should be romantic, but I say nay. A date movie can be any kind of genre — it just needs to have a certain panache. Whether it's a hunky leading actor, a scary haunted house, or two lovers torn apart, there needs to be something there that will tug on your heartstrings and bring you and your date closer and closer on the couch. And so I proudly present 24 Netflix movies to queue up on date night.
