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. Even with the sound off, these films would be worth watching, visually among the best ever made.

These romance films were chosen for with the family because the cinematography is doing real work, not just looking pretty. Specifically from the 2000s - every frame here has intention behind it. Watch on the biggest screen you have. Sound on.
The best romance films understand timing. So do these. 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.
