This movie is definitely a great date movie! A forbidden love that is too irresistible to say no to! I've enjoyed watching the whole series, it does not disappoint!
After (2019) - IMDb
I love how this movie looks at the different points of view of all the couples in the group. Trying to enjoy themselves away from their everyday lives, they gain new perspectives on their relationships and form a new found love for their partners!
Couples Retreat
If you make it to the end of this movie without pausing it to cuddle a little closer with your partner, you will see the crazy plot twist you didn't see coming! My guess is that you will pause it half way through!
The Voyeurs (2021) - IMDb
Adam Sandler and Drew Berrymore are amazing in this movie! It reminds us that real love never gives up and can absolutely move mountains!
50 First Dates (2004) - IMDb
A true classic! Love this movie! Nobody puts baby in the corner and nobody has more chemistry than these two! They may be from different sides of the tracks, but when they come together, they are electric!
Dirty Dancing
I love how Noah never gives up on his sweetheart and how he tells their story to her everyday trying to keep her memory in tact from Alzheimer's disease. He made a promise to never leave her side, and he kept that promise till the day they died!
