5 Perfect Gay Date “Netflix And Chill” Movies

Here are some great Netflix movies to accompany your hot gay date night

The phrase “Netflix and chill” roughly means hooking up, or something like that, but it’s also a bit more complicated. “Netflix and chill” has become a case of social media-fueled semantic drift gone mad. While its origins date back to 2007, it has only recently become part of mainstream vocabulary, including among those who aren’t young and in college.

Originally, “Netflix and chill” really did mean “chilling out and watching Netflix”. It was pretty much a solo activity. Since then, the phrase has become a 21st-century version of “Do you want to come up for some ‘coffee’?”

So either you’re bringing home a total stranger or having a hot date night with your bf, here are some good Netflix movies to accompany your “Netflix and chill” moment.

Weekend (2011)

It is a brief encounter that will resonate throughout their lives.

Weekend is both an honest and unapologetic love story between two guys and a film about the universal struggle for an authentic life in all its forms. It is about the search for identity and the importance of making a passionate commitment to your life.

Handsome Devil (2017)

While studying at an intolerant boarding school in Ireland, two unlikely friends grow closer and closer, despite the animosity of their peers and the school’s faculty.
