Perfect Date Night Movies — Ranked by Rewatchability

February 14, 2026 5 min read

A good date night movie needs to hit specific notes: comforting but not boring, light but not shallow, and good enough to rewatch together. We used GoodWatch's emotional dimensions to find movies that tick all these boxes.

How GoodScore works: We combine ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and TMDB into a single 0-100 score. Higher = better. No single platform bias.
