On a rainy evening, sometimes you want to wrap yourself in a warm blanket, snuggle up to your loved one and watch some good movie … But you just don't want to watch Die Hard, and you can't force your boyfriend to watch Sex and the City at gunpoint. We have collected a dozen quite different films that will be of interest to both. Something from this list will surely be to your taste.

1. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" - an original and heartfelt film about love. An unusual idea, an exciting plot, a fabulously fantastic interweaving of storylines. And also Jim Carrey in an absolutely unusual role for him and Kate Winslet with blue hair. And it's just that every frame is saturated with romance. It also has ingeniously selected soundtracks and a happy ending.

2. "Reality Changing". Do you believe in the theory of halves: for everyone in this world there is an ideal partner? And the fact that if you are destined to be with someone together, then this will definitely happen, despite all the obstacles? This is exactly what the film "Reality Changing" is about. To the delight of your young man, the picture was made not as a melodrama, but in the format of a very lively fantastic thriller.

3. Good morning. The young and very active heroine of the cutie Rachel McAdams dreamed of becoming a TV producer since childhood. And so she finds her dream job - becoming a producer on the legendary morning show. But the show is going to be closed - the legend is no longer interesting to the audience.

By hook or by crook, the new producer is trying to raise the rating of the show, sometimes her actions look terribly funny. In the process, she finds new love.

4. "Love and other medicines." Handsome Jake Gyllenhaal plays a drug dealer who meets the beautiful, intelligent and hilarious heroine Anne Hathaway. A dizzying romance ensues, but only there is a problem - the girl suffers from an incurable disease … Despite the seemingly sad theme, the film leaves a light "aftertaste". Lots of comedic moments, and quite a lot of eroticism.

5. "The Story of Us" is a magnificent story in its simplicity and routine about the most ordinary human love, about relationships, about marriage and family, about the difficulties of all this and about pleasant moments. The film is as touching as it is funny. And not surprisingly, its director Rob Reiner is the author of such universally recognized classics of the romantic genre as When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle.

6. Pleasantville. All dystopias are usually gloomy, dark films in which everything is bad at first and all the characters have to struggle and suffer a lot.

Here, on the contrary, in the beginning everything is black and white, but when the heroes begin to live their own lives and finally do what they really want, the world blooms.

And there are also young Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon.

7. "The Invention of Lies" is a very original comedy fantasy melodrama. There is a world in which there is no lie. That's just not at all - everyone always speaks the truth. For example, in this world, Pepsi advertising looks like this: “Pepsi - when Coca-Cola is not around”. And one day a person appears who invents this very lie.

8. "Australia". A prim English aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) hires a simple laborer (Hugh Jackman) to help her drive a flock of sheep across almost the entire continent. On the way, they will face hardships and a lot of dangers. And, of course, all this will bring together an aristocrat and a simple guy. A classic story, great actors, large-scale shooting - what else do you need to while away the evening?

9. "I would be in the sky." The hero of George Clooney (who, like good wine, only gets better over the years) travels the country and fires employees of various companies. He is a professional “fighter”, so to speak. The film has a lot of travels - but it's not about travel, the main character has a romance - but the film is not about love. This is a melodrama about nothing in particular and about everything at once.

Sometimes it's nice to watch a movie like this and sit and think about yourself, your life, work, family relationships, and the future.

The film is rather sad, but it is such a kind and warm sadness that can be pleasant.

10. "Getting to know the parents." Ben Stiller's hero wants to propose to his girlfriend, and for this they go to get acquainted with her parents. And then hell begins for poor Ben. He will find himself in one unpleasant situation after another, and the future father-in-law is constantly watching him and only dreams of how to get rid of a potential relative. All this looks very funny, and in some places also romantic.
