My husband I are still considered newlyweds, but just like any other couple, we get pretty caught up in our careers and life. We are both workaholics and this often doesn’t leave us much time during the week to do any more than eat and go to bed. One way we like to reconnect with each other is by having movie nights on the weekends. We are tired from working all week and don’t always feel like going out. So, we rent some movies, pull out the couch bed and eat chocolate chip cookies. We cherish these nights because we don’t have to dress up, in fact we try not to get dressed at all and we watch movies.
Here are a few movies that are highly regarded as romantic movies for your movie nights:
- The Princess Bride: This movie may seem sort of childish, but it has been my favorite movie since I was little and I have several friends who would agree. The story line is very romantic. Wesley and Buttercup have known each other for years and they are reconnected in the end.
- Sleepless in Seattle: This movie is a romantic classic. The story of a man’s young boy calling into a radio show and then finding the woman he wants as his new mom in a pile of letters, what could be more romantic?
- Ghost: This 80s classic will always be remembered. Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze were hot and Whoopie added just enough humor to make this movie both mysterious and romantic.
- When Harry Met Sally: Harry and Sally have known each other for years and fear that sex would ruin their great friendship.
- A Walk in the Clouds: Paul, returning from the war, meets a young woman who is traveling home to help with the grape harvest. She is pregnant and afraid of her father. Paul offers to pose as her husband, but the soon fall in love.
