Netflix and Chill? More like Netflix and Kill. It's a common occurrence these days. Your partner suggests watching something on Netflix or Amazon Prime, and you hate the idea of the series or movie they've picked.
You suggest a new Netflix series that Sarah in the accounts department at work recommended, your partner asks, who's Sarah? Now you're in trouble!
You spend an hour debating what to watch and eventually you go to bed without watching anything!

My personal favourite is Palm Springs, a quirky movie starring Andy Samberg, which can best be described as a ‘Science Fiction romantic comedy' – perfect for date night viewing.

What Are the Best Types Of Movies For Date Night?
We live in a busy world and most us don't have two minutes spare to think straight. So we have to make an effort when it comes to date night.
For most of us, that involves just chilling out and watching a film or an episode of our favourite show. So why spend the time trawling through the choices when you can pre-choose something and reduce that wasted time scrolling.
The best types of movies for date night can vary depending on personal preferences, but here are a few popular genres that are often recommended for couples:
Romantic Comedies – These movies are specifically designed to be lighthearted and fun, with a focus on romantic relationships. They are perfect for couples who want to have a good laugh while enjoying a feel-good love story.
Drama – Dramas can be great for date nights if you and your partner are interested in more serious and emotionally charged stories. These movies can provoke deep conversations and discussions, and can be a great way to connect on a deeper level.
Action/Adventure – For couples who enjoy fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled movies, action and adventure films can be a great choice. They offer excitement and thrills, and can be a great way to bond over a shared love of adventure and excitement.
Classic Movies – Watching a classic movie can be a great way to experience something new together, and can spark interesting discussions about film history and culture. Whether it's an old Hollywood romance or a classic film noir, there's something timeless and romantic about watching a classic movie together.
