My fiancé and I need movie recommendations for tonight 😭

I’m personally a huge fan of 2000s rom coms but I swear I’ve probably seen l all of them at this point, but I’m definitely open to suggestions for it

So genres : romance, comedy, feel-good movies, fun thrillers, comfort movies, honestly almost anything.

just preferably nothing super heavy, depressing, or anxiety-inducing because movies are basically my escape from stress lol.

What are your favorite movies to watch with your significant other?

Ok so I remember my husband getting a Netflix dvd where the movie was in black and white (or a severely limited palette) set in the 40s or thereabouts (all the men wore suits, women wore dresses) that had a protagonist who was living just a miserable life. Wife didn’t love him, but they pretended for the sake of everyone else. I think he lost his job. He got caught up in … something … that was surreal in nature.

A dentist might have been involved but I might be confusing that with a different surreal movie my husband made me watch.

Then someone murdered his wife and her lover. He was charged with the crime. He found out she was pregnant. The kid definitely wasn’t his.

Protagonist goes to jail and I remember him standing in the prison yard when an alien ship picked him up and broke him out of prison.

I don’t remember if that was the end.

I do remember turning to my husband and saying “what the hell did we just watch?”

Now, many years later and the Netflix account is closed so I can’t check the history, he can’t figure out what movie I’m talking about and thinks I might have dreamed it.

I say I couldn’t have dreamed it because I dream in color even for noir stories and also there weren’t enough dinosaurs to be one of my dreams.

Thoughts?

I think the Peter Jackson Halo movie would have hit at the perfect time in regards to both the franchises relevance and our love for the series. Halo lore is outstanding and I believe it could have been on the same level as transformers, mission impossible etc.

Nobody expected the project to win Oscars but there’s no reason why we couldn’t have had an amazing Halo film trilogy.

At least we got district 9 out of it the fiasco.

What other opportunities we sadly never saw realized?
