Romantic comedy
Midnight in the Back Row
Two strangers. One armrest. Zero chill.
BigScreen Date matches you with singles who want to see the same movie you do. Pick a film, pick a showtime, and meet in the seats next to each other — popcorn optional, chemistry encouraged.
How it works
No endless swiping. Your taste in movies does the matchmaking, and the theater sets the scene.
Tell us who you are, who you'd like to meet, and the films you can quote by heart.
Browse what's showing near you and mark the ones you'd love to see with someone new.
We pair you with singles who picked the same film, then you chat to settle on a showtime.
Grab your seats side by side. Afterwards, you already have something to talk about.
Now showing
Every movie is a ready-made first date. See who else wants to go, then save the seat next to them.

Why the movies
