Although the prospect of a new relationship is exciting, first dates can be a stressful experience, especially when it comes to deciding on what to do. While there are a number of options available, nothing quite compares to the movie experience. A good way to form an instant connection is to watch a film at home where you can enjoy fresh popcorn and refreshments in a more intimate, comfortable setting. Here are a few great movie choices to consider. 

What to Watch on a First Date

1. Jerry Maguire

With a storyline that provides a good balance of sports and romance, Jerry Maguire easily captures the attention of men and women alike. The dynamic chemistry between the two main characters is something for both genders to aspire to in real-life relationships. The film also touches on the everyday struggle many people have, which is earning a living without compromising their integrity and ethical boundaries.

2. Speed

An action-packed movie that’s full of excitement, special effects, and innovative stunts, Speed will keep you and your date engaged from beginning to end. No matter how many times you’ve seen it, you can’t help but watch on the edge of your seat as the bus races to maintain a high speed and maneuver through a gridlocked freeway. Of course, the starry-eyed romance between a young Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves is just as thrilling.

3. The Big Sick

If you want to stick with a true romantic comedy as you share your bowl of popcorn, The Big Sick is an excellent selection. The film is not only heartwarming, but also smart and realistic. Inspired by the relationship of real-life couple Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon, the plot offers a glimpse into the cultural differences and challenges that many modern love stories face in this day and age.
