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 kind of endings that reframe everything that came before, you'll want to rewatch immediately.

An ending only works when everything before it sets it up. Every romance pick here was chosen for with the family because the final act lands. Specifically from the 2000s - go in without reading anything about them. That's the only way to get the full effect.
Not every love story lands. These ones do. Family watching means every age has to find something in it. These deliver that. All from the 2000s - closer than they feel, and better than most people remember. Moviepiq has more lists broken down by genre, occasion, and mood.
