Great Date Night DVD Movie Ideas

Everyone has a favorite movie whether it is an action/adventure, comedy, drama, sci-fi, or other genre. However, with the vast number of movies released, sometimes it can be hard to choose which movies are worth a viewing and which ones are not. The following is a list of the best DVD releases which are perfect for date nights.

The English Patient - A great drama, historical fiction, and romance movie all in one. Ralph Fiennes stars in this drama which is set in post-WWII, yet reverts back and forth from current to past events in Fiennes' life. This 1996 picture won nine Oscars and was nominated for countless other awards.

Pride and Prejudice - The best version of this, by far, is the 1995 TV mini-series where Colin Firth portrays the stern, yet receptive Mr. Darcy in this adaptation of the Jane Austen novel. While technically this is not a movie; it is available on DVD. The actual theatrical release staring Keira Knightley is a great alternative, although it is much shorter in length and does not have the same intense delivery that Firth commands.

Star Trek Generations - For Trekkies and Sci-Fi lovers alike, this is possibly one of the best movies around. Both Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) make an appearance in this 1994 picture, thus uniting the original and current Enterprise's skippers for this one-time only event.

Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - The first of a trilogy, Dead Man's Chest introduces movie watchers to an authentic cast, location, and storyline which directly coincide with the Disney attraction. This 2003 release, by far, is the best of the three due to its essences of familiarity, engaging soundtrack, and all-star cast.

Love Actually - While this movie is not as well-known as others, Love Actually was nominated for two Golden Globes. Released in 2003, this holiday movie stars some of Britain's best actors including: Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, and Keira Knightley. Mr. Bean fans will appreciate a comedic cameo from Rowan Atkinson, who portrays his character's typical behavior while working as a jewelry salesman.
