We rounded up our favorite date ideas from the greatest classics to help you incorporate a little glamour into your real-life love story. Keep reading to check out all our date ideas — and keep dreaming that your dates are Cary Grant and Gregory Peck.

The Seven Year Itch

Date Idea: Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell had a night in with potato chips and Champagne in The Seven Year Itch. You can do the same — have a picnic in your living room.

To Catch a Thief

Date Idea: Grace Kelly took Cary Grant on a scenic (and very speedy) drive that landed them at a gorgeous view. Bring lunch in your car and share a meal while admiring beautiful sights.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Date Idea: Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard had a fun date browsing through gifts and toys at a corner store. Skip Holly Golightly's shoplifting habits and go try on funny masks or play with party toys at your local party store.

 

The Quiet Man

Date Idea: Become one with nature à la John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Escape the bustle of your city and take a long walk through your local park. Maybe steal a passionate kiss like this pair did as well.

Splendor in the Grass

Date Idea: Pile blankets into your car and go stargazing while snuggling your SO like Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty.

Some Like It Hot

Date Idea: Go to your favorite beach spot and lie in the sand for a while before setting up a boat ride along the coast like Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot.

White Christmas

Date Idea: Hop on a train and head to a place you have never visited before. The spontaneity will feel totally romantic — you can even consider bringing another couple along and double date like Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye did.

Roman Holiday

Date Idea: Rent a scooter and zip about an unfamiliar city. You'll feel just like Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in Rome.

 

A Place in the Sun

Date Idea: Play a flirtatious game of pool all night with your SO like Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift did in this early '50s classic.

"Broken Arrow" is a product of its time, but attempted to transcend it with a progressive view of American Indians compared to contemporary films. Consider that in 1950, Indians were pretty much always seen onscreen as red-skinned savages brought in to imperil the white heroes. Their lack of individual identities or even basic humanity made them operate much like zombies did in later horror films -- as an existentialist threat.

They were literally the red menace.

Winchester 73

 the film is about the journey of a prized rifle from one ill-fated owner to another and a cowboy's search for a murderous fugitive. Rock Hudson portrays an American Indian and Tony Curtis plays a besieged cavalry trooper, both in small roles at the beginnings of their careers. The film received a Writers Guild of America Award nomination for Best Written American Western. This is the first Western film collaboration between Anthony Mann and James Stewart, and was filmed in black and white.
