Then pop in your favorite romantic movie. If you need an idea for the perfect Valentine’s Day movie, take a look at these 10 films all about love:
1. ‘When Harry Met Sally’
This story of a platonic friendship that turns romantic over time is a classic for a reason. Meg Ryan’s Sally is adorable, but it’s Billy Crystal who makes this movie romantic. His list of reasons he loves Sally is one of the most adorable rom-com lines of all time.
2. ‘Brokeback Mountain’
“Brokeback Mountain” follows two cowboys in Wyoming played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal who get hired to work as sheep herders together. The two men eventually fall in love, though heartbreakingly, both go on to marry women.
3. ‘Love Actually’
This sometimes funny, sometimes sad and always poignant movie follows different British couples in several different stages of love and marriage. Each couple shows love and relationships from a unique perspective, making the movie romantic, relatable and enjoyable to watch.
4. ‘Sleepless in Seattle’
“Sleepless in Seattle” is one of several rom-com movies starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, but it’s considered the most romantic of the bunch. The scene where the two characters finally meet on the top of the Empire State Building makes the whole movie worth it.
5. ‘Ghost’
Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore break hearts in this movie about a man who dies but can’t move on because he has to protect the love of his life. Though the movie’s storyline is a little out there, anyone who’s seen the notorious pottery-making scene can tell you just how romantic it is.
6. ‘But I’m a Cheerleader’
This campy comedy about two girls whose parents send them to a boot camp to try to change their sexual orientation has a cult following of devoted fans. The two girls eventually develop feelings for each other at the True Directions camp, making the movie cute and romantic.
7. ‘Casablanca’
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman take the crown for the most classic romantic movie couple for their roles in this 1942 love story that takes place during World War II. Bogart’s quote “Here’s looking at you, kid,” marked the end of their relationship but made audiences fall in love with the timeless story.
8. ‘My Beautiful Laundrette’
“My Beautiful Laundrette” stars Daniel Day-Lewis and Gordon Warnecke as two men who start a relationship despite racial and societal factors trying to keep them apart. The romance that develops despite outside influences is sweet and moving.
9. ‘Silver Linings Playbook’
The first in a line of movies starring both Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, “Silver Linings Playbook” is about two people who bond over shared experiences with losing their spouses. As Pat, played by Cooper, tries to win back his wife, he and Lawrence’s Tiffany fall in love.
10. ‘Dirty Dancing’
Another rom-com with a cult-like following of fans, “Dirty Dancing” is the quintessential movie about a good girl who falls in love with a bad boy. The romantic movie, starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey as unlikely dance partners, can be summed up with one quote: “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
