30 best date night movies (for when you actually want to watch, not chill)

Date night movies are our favourite when it comes to having a wonderful night with someone we love without breaking the bank this summer.

Whether you want to make it a romantic affair or just sit in silence on the sofa, finding a good film is the perfect scene setter. But we get it: finding a movie to watch that you’ll both enjoy can be a struggle. You’ll be lucky if your movie tastes align perfectly, and in the early days, you don’t want to force them to watch The Notebook and send them to sleep (or creep them out).

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
