Getting the whole family to agree on a film is rare, these are the ones that genuinely work for everyone in the room. Romance done right, not just love stories, but films that understand what connection actually feels like. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. The conversation doesn't end when the credits roll, these live in your head long after.

The best romance films for with the family are the ones still running in the background days later. Specifically from the 2000s - every pick here was chosen because it leaves something unresolved - deliberately. Watch one tonight. Give it time to settle.
Not every love story lands. These ones do. These work across the room without patronising anyone in it. The 2000s are underrated. A lot of the best films from that era still haven't found their full audience. Find more curated film lists by genre and mood at Moviepiq.
