Critic Approved Movie Date

Movie nights are a staple in any relationship. While everyone has recommendations on what you should watch, on these dates, let the "professionals" handle it. Today, I have compiled a list of the top rated movies from critics and where to watch them.

First, pick your movie. (preferably one you haven't seen) As you are watching, feel free to give your own commentary and thoughts. Normally, you don't talk during a movie, but since you are on a date, you really want to try and actually spend time with your partner. Discuss what you like, what you think is a little weird, etc.

Now, it is important for me to tell you that I haven't watched many (or even most) of these movies. They are simply the critic's recommendations. I have no clue what most of these are rated. I would always recommend VidAngel. It really does make me feel more comfortable. I believe it works with AppleTv, Netflix, Prime Video, Showtime, Starz, Paramount+, AMC+, Britbox, and PBS Masterpiece. (They may work with more, I just don't know for sure)

As always, I say that any great date requires food. You could have dinner beforehand or eat classic movie snacks during it.

I hope you have a wonderful day and an even better date.
