Good Movies To Watch With Your Boyfriend On Netflix

So, movie night with your boyfriend is looming. Netflix is open. Panic sets in.

Sound familiar? Finding a movie you BOTH actually want to watch can feel impossible.

The Struggle is Real (and Hilarious)

Let's be honest, his idea of a good movie probably involves explosions. Lots of explosions.

Yours might be something a little... different. Maybe a quirky rom-com? Perhaps a thought-provoking drama?

Compromise is key, people! But what to choose?

Action-Packed Adventures (That Aren't Totally Terrible)

Okay, okay, we'll indulge the action craving. But let's aim for something with a little bit of plot, shall we?

Consider "6 Underground". Michael Bay mayhem, sure, but with Ryan Reynolds' quippy charm.

Or, how about "Extraction"? Chris Hemsworth rescues people. Enough said.

Rom-Coms He Secretly (Maybe) Enjoys

Now, this is where things get tricky. Convincing him that a rom-com isn't torture is an art form.

My unpopular opinion? "Set It Up" is gold. Hilarious, relatable, and even a little bit charming for the boys.

Another option: "To All the Boys I've Loved Before." It's cute, fluffy, and easy to watch. He might even crack a smile. Just don't tell his friends.

Thrillers That Will Keep You Both Guessing

If you're both up for something suspenseful, thrillers are a great option.

"Bird Box" is still a classic. Sandra Bullock battling unseen creatures? Intriguing!

Or try "The Platform". A bit bizarre, but definitely thought-provoking (and will give you something to discuss afterwards).

Documentaries (For the "Culture")

Okay, hear me out! Documentaries can actually be really engaging.

Find one you're both interested in. Maybe something about music, food, or even true crime.

"Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened" is a guaranteed conversation starter. Plus, it's hilarious in a train-wreck kind of way.

Animated Adventures (Because Why Not?)

Don't underestimate the power of a good animated movie! They're not just for kids.

"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" is visually stunning and has a killer soundtrack. Even the most action-obsessed boyfriend will appreciate it.

Or, for something a bit more heartwarming, try "Klaus". A sweet and surprisingly funny Christmas story.

The Golden Rule of Movie Night

Ultimately, the most important thing is to have fun! Don't take it too seriously.

And if all else fails? Just let him pick. You can always sneak in your rom-com next time.

Just remember to have snacks! Snacks can solve almost any movie night disagreement.

Happy watching!

P.S. If he suggests watching "The Fast and the Furious" for the tenth time, maybe suggest therapy... just kidding! (Mostly).

And if you end up just scrolling through Netflix for an hour and then ordering pizza? That's a win too.
