Our generation is kind of lazy. I mean, we’re also super productive and hardworking and a ton of other great things, but we have lazy tendencies. (I am millennial enough to admit it). When it comes to dating (and even hooking up) we’ve gotten to the point where big, dramatic over-the-top dates just ain’t happening. Instead, Netflix dates are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. It’s cheap, simple, and gives you an opportunity to cuddle up with your significant other. (The ‘chill’ part is up to you).

But if you feel like your Netflix routine is getting a little boring lately, try out these 5 suggestions to make the experience a little bit more enjoyable.

1. House of Cards

What could bring a couple closer together than a really great show about politics? If you haven’t already started watching (and therefore are not human), this is your chance to prove yourself. The fantastic cast of characters and ever-changing dynamics is sure to win over the affections of you and your partner.

2. Nightcrawler

Love dark thrillers? This edgy film captures the story of a sociopath turned cameraman who captures footage of accidents and crime and sells it to the local news station.

3. Silver Linings Playbook

If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you need to. Starring the lovely Jennifer Lawrence, this movie is a romance for the realist and is complete with (rather horrible) dancing and dynamic characters.

4. Weekend

What started as a one night stand turns into something much more. This movie explores a gay relationship and the difficulties of love and dating that we can all relate to.

5. Pride & Prejudice (2005 version)

Who doesn’t love a good Rom Com? This classic story is witty, funny, and adorable. The chemistry between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is intense, despite how much they claim to hate each other. The film is sure to create those warm and fuzzy feelings everyone loves to talk about.
