5 Date Movies To Watch For V-Day

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and love is in the air. For those who prefer a good date night in the house watching a good movie, this is the blog for you. I decided to emphasize on date's and date night's in this one. So here we are with 5 movies you may want to check out for V-Day.

 5. The Lovebirds

This 2020 Netflix film stars Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani as a couple on the fritz of breaking up. En route to a dinner party they accidentally run into a bicyclist. Little do they know that one moment cascades into the night as they get caught up in a web of chases, orgies, and a murderer on their tail. Which tests their love throughout the night. It's a mixed bag comedy, but just to put some popcorn in the microwave after dinner it is a serviceable film.

4. One Fine Day

One Fine Day is a 1996 film starring Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney that technically doesn't feature a date in the movie, but actually it does. The film covers the two as parent's who both have a rough morning causing their respective children to miss the school's field trip bus. They must band together to chaperone the kid's throughout the city as they navigate other responsibilities during the day. Causing the two to grow attracted to one another over the course of the day, and they have impromptu dates where they get to know one another better. 

3. Date Night

This 2010 film starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey I honestly did not appreciate when I first saw it, I felt it was just ok. I watched it maybe a year ago and thought the movie was hilarious and very relatable. The two play a couple who realize their marriage is in a bit of funk going through the motions. They decide to get a babysitter and spend a night in town. At a crowded restaurant, Carell's character Phil claims he is someone else who did not show up, by the end of the night he would regret that. 

2. Blind Date

This 1987 film starring Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger is HILARIOUS in my opinion. It stars Bruce Willis as a workaholic who needs a date for a big work dinner, and is set up with a blind date played by Kim Basinger. He's warned not to let her drink, but he forgets that rule and that leads to a wild night along with her jealous ex on their tail. In the process he learns to live a little and that he actually finds her attractive.

1. Southside With You

This 2016 film stars Tike Sumpter and Parker Sawyer as Michelle and Barack Obama on their very first date back in 1989. They visit museums, community meetings, see a classic movie and get some ice cream. Kicking off a love affair that is still occurring to this day. In the meantime you can see the ambition both have, and the foundation that led to Barack becoming the 44th president of the United States. It's a very inspiring movie that may make guys want to step their date games up.
