12 Thoughtful Movies You And Your Partner Should Definitely Watch

Curled up on the couch? Check.
Popcorn in hand? Check.
Blankets? Check.

But there’s only one issue. Which movie should you watch? Few lovers have the same taste in TV shows and movies. For the rest, watching a movie together means different views, different opinions, and different perspectives.

Wouldn’t it be nice to pick a movie that can teach both of you stuff? Do they exist?
