Best Valentine’s Movies to Watch Out for

Romance and movies go hand in hand. Why should it be any different this Valentine’s Day? Of course, you’ll bring out the red roses, choose Valentine’s Day gifts for your beloved, and surprise him/her with a special outing/dinner. But if you are both movie buffs, how about spending your V-Day (or at least a part of it) watching some of the best Valentine’s movies of all time? Stuck for suggestions? Here are some that you may find handy.

Top Valentine’s Day Movies Worth Watching

Bring out the Valentine’s Day cakes, some popcorn, your favorite beverages, and other treats. Dim the lights and decorate your space romantically for the big day. You can then relax and cuddle as you watch any/all/some of these iconic movies.

  • Pride & Prejudice – Watch the 2005 version of this classic and swoon over the chemistry between Mr. Darcy (played by Matthew Macfadyen) and Lizzie Bennet (played by Keira Knightley). It is humorous, engaging, and heartwarming at the same time, making it a classic choice for V-Day.
  • Before Sunrise – This 1995 movie will charm you with the amazing backdrop (shot in Vienna) and the powerful lead cast of Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke who use their words and mental prowess to successfully seduce each other. The memorable quote- Isn’t everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more will stay with you long after the credits.
  • La La Land – A mega movie that came out in 2016, this one’s all about fabulous singing, dancing, stunning choreography, and lovely costumes. A world full of dreamers comes to life, while you’ll undoubtedly fall in love with Ryan Gosling!
  • Love Story – When it comes to the best Valentine’s movies, why leave out the biggest of them all? This adaptation of Erich Segal’s timeless classic dates back to 1970. Be prepared to get emotional and express your deepest feelings as you watch the lives of two college sweethearts entwine and develop, with a mix of heartwarming romance and tragedy in equal measure.  Of course, we all remember the immortal line (from the book and movie)- Love means never having to say you’re sorry.
  • The Notebook – The 2004 movie stands out for several things, including the famous rain kiss between the characters played by Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling and of course, the heart-tugging relationship between the older couple. This one’s going to leave you emotional, which means keeping the tissues handy is probably a good idea!
  • Dirty Dancing – For some good old 80s magic, watch this cult 1987 flick together, seeing how a sheltered girl ends up in a tumultuous and gripping romance with the dance instructor at her camp. It’s one of the most exciting romance movies you can choose for V-Day.
  • A Star is Born – A relatively newer movie (released in 2018), it showcases heart-rending romance with the story of a popular musician and his favorite protégé cum lover. Of course, the cast is a big draw- Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, and so is the music.
  • Beauty and the Beast – We’re not talking about the newer version, but the one that goes back to 1991. Embrace good old nostalgia and charm with this Disney classic version that’s equally attractive for kids and adults. Sing along to the iconic musical tracks and enjoy feeling like children again!
