Something with a strong real message.
I don't mind romance but not only romantic nonsense only if it serves the purpose of enhancing a marriage.

The notebook has a heartwarming message about commitment and loyalty.
Totally romantic though. Not sure what you mean by nonsense.

honestly, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. I have seen a lot of movies in my life, and not a single one comes to mind that portrays a healthy committed, imperfect marriage. Hollywood is looking to sell movies, not teach ethics. What sells? Scandals, affairs, violence, abuse, immorality, and such.
To improve your marriage you see a therapist, read books, make regular dates and commitments to your spouse, give to your spouse in their love language, etc.

I haven't watched movies in years so don't take this as a recommendation but I thought mr. hollands opus had a poignant message

Yes this is what I was thinking. Just wasn't sure how to write it.
I don't think you need a therapist though. To me it seems like you just want to take the guilt out of watching by feeling that it left you a better person.
But Hollywood movies? Uh uh ain't gonna give you that.

Ditto to A Beautiful Mind. So glad I watched it before meeting DH (diagnosed with a mental illness)

Fireproof if you ignore all the Christian parts and mentally replace crying to yushka to crying to hashem. (It wasnt to much imo only a few scenes) its not a Hollywood movie but a Christian one and very clean with modestly dressed actors. They aren't amazing actors but do a pretty decent job.

So interesting OP. I davka watch movies to get away from real life, not to gain valuable lessons on life.
I dont think movies is really the correct place to take something away from about the value of marriage.Maybe Im wrong, but to me movies, no matter what, are never going to show anything that is real real life like and therefore will not really be able to show the true value of a good marriage. Its all fake.
Ill even go so far as to say that fireproof, the christian movie the previous poster was talking about still makes things seem like everything always works out in the end. you just need gd. when in fact that is not always the truth either.

Kramer vs Kramer
My mom made us all watch it. We are all the type to get a bit carried away with our "feelings" so she wanted us to see that sometimes a person can mess things when they get carried away.
