my partner and i used to argue about movie night more than almost anything else. like every couple, we started by spending like half an hour scrolling through netflix and such, moved to sending each other throughout the day a bunch of “movies you should watch with your partner” lists, and seeing reddit posts about must watch movies, only to end up with an overwhelming amount of movies to choose from.
it was a real struggle for us, so we tried different strategies to make that choice easier:
we’re happy rotating between these strategies, but i’m curious about what works for other couples
I like the movie jar idea although im a pretty easy going movie watcher and watch pretty much anything. Sometimes when I watch something someone else wants and that I had pre decided I think will be stupid but then actually end up loving whatever movie it is. When this happens it reminds me to keep an open mind. Happy movie watching! Hopefully someone suggests something that works better for you guys.
