The best movies for a couple’s movie night

Fifteen films that turn a regular evening into an event: one for every kind of couple, from romantics to thriller fans.

A movie night is not the same as putting a film on. It is the evening you plan a little: the food, the lights, a film you both actually want to see. These fifteen are chosen for exactly those nights, one for every kind of couple.
