You see, asking for great date movies is different from asking for "must-see" date movies streamable on Netflix, and is different from asking for general "must-see" Netflix recommendations. Not to be picky, but these are really different questions. To add another layer to the questions, Netflix has a shuffling collection, so flipping through must-see lists, one must pay attention to the age of the list. I'm not the greatest at picking date movies, because when I want to watch a movie with a woman I like, I show her movies I'd show any of my friends, so they're rarely "date" movies. That being said, for date movies True Romance -- action and true love, cool love, and a great 90s feel. If you haven't seen it, and you like movies, don't look up anything about it, just grab somebody and watch it. City of God -- a crime and coming of age drama that takes place over a few decades in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This honestly may be one of those movies that's just generally good and I'm conflating with a good date movie. Her -- Spike Jonze's most recent film. You will have a bevy of conversation topics relating to relationships and sex and the human condition after this one ends, I really recommend it. Plus, I read this heartwearming bit on Spike Jonze's AMA on reddit, where a 16 year old didn't ask a question so much as told the director that he went on a date with a girl and they went to go see his movie and as the credits rolled, he leaned over and had his first kiss. That was awesome, and pretty much defines the successful date movie, so please have at it. Sorry I didn't even answer the Netflix question. I hope hubski steps up around me to answer that one.
I'd agree with you as far as the difference regarding date movies and... other movies, though in this case I'm looking for any recommendations. My girl and I live together and have been dating for a while, so in this context it's more about finding an interesting movie to watch than it is a classic "date movie." Thanks!
