Every couple needs to implement a standing date night. It doesn’t have to be an expensive candle lit dinner or a cliché walk on the beach. Instead, opt for a simple date night at home that in the comfort of your own home. Opting for a movie and cozying up on the couch with your main squeeze can be exactly what you both need after a hectic work week.

Break open a bottle of wine, order a pizza, pop some popcorn and watch one of these great flicks. With viewing options like Netflix and Amazon the selections are truly endless.

Almost Famous - This is the perfect film for music and movie lovers. The film will have you reminiscing times when you were younger and thought you had it all together. It’s a coming of age film that will remind you of the times you thought there was no limit to the sky. After watching the movie, you’ll probably feel compelled to listen to the oldie but goodie songs you use to listen to on your walkman.

Annie Hall - I think it’s safe to say that Annie Hall single handedly revitalized the genre of romantic comedy. The film is funny and Diane Keaton will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

Maybe you’re not feeling the romantic flick and you’d prefer something with more suspense and drama.

Shawshank Redemption – Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman helped to make Shawshank Redemption a must see movie. The film was released in 1994 and is still one of the movies everyone should watch at least once during their lifetime.

The film is about friendship and the good that lies within a person’s soul.
