Movies are a favourite pastime of most of us. Whether you’re sad or happy, going out on a date or going out with friends,  watching a movie always cheers you up. But watching movies with your partner can also make your relationship take a flight and fly high. Couples who watch movies about relationships together, and discuss them together, are half as likely to split up as other couples. In fact, watching and discussing, as a pair is just as effective as couples counseling. Trust us, a rom-com can be good for love! So here’s a list of movies that you should watch with your better half if your relationship is going through a rough patch.

Before Sunrise is the ideal movie to watch when you’re in a new, butterflies-in-your-stomach romance. This film shows how quickly you can fall in love and that falling head over heels isn’t the worst thing in the world. The film revolves around the story of a young man and woman who meet on a train and impulsively decide to get off at Vienna. With only one night ahead, the two spend their time exploring the city and getting to know each other, knowing that they have to eventually go their separate ways.

Amour

A movie to touch anyone’s heart. When Georges’ beloved, Anna, falls ill, he cannot bear the thought of entrusting her to cruel nurses who couldn’t care less about her well being. Despite them both being over 80, and Georges still teaching at the conservatoire, he leaves his responsibilities behind him to take care of the love of his life. This is arguably one of the finest cinematic depictions of love and sincere devotion.
