25 Romantic Movies On Netflix For a Date Night In
- 1/25
1) 'Pride & Prejudice'
This is a classic romantic movie, even though it wasn’t made too long ago. Following the plot of Jane Austen’s famous novel of the same name, the story follows Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, two stubborn people from two very different world’s who seem to hate each other. Or do they? Watch this one with a hot cup of coffee and a warm blanket. The soundtrack alone will make you feel swept away.

2) 'A Walk To Remember'
Starring Mandy Moore, this film (based on a Nicholas Sparks novel) follows the love story of two very different high school students. Saying any more than that will give away the plot. If you want to cry (possibly sob), press play on this movie.
- 3/25
3) 'About Time'
About Time combines romantic comedy, drama, and a little bit of magic into one heartwarming (and heartbreaking) plot. Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson make a charming pair, but the movie really tells the story of all types of love — family, friends, etc. Oh, and there’s time travel.
