Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to snuggle up with a heartwarming movie. Whether you’re in the mood for a fairy tale, a comedy, or a tearjerker, these films will make your Valentine’s Day special.

 

Notting Hill (1999)

A classic fairytale romance released in 1999, Notting Hill, starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, is one of the must-watch romance films of all time.

The film follows the dreamy love story between a famous actress, Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), and a humble bookshop owner, William Thacker (Hugh Grant), who cross paths on the charming streets of Notting Hill. Their romance is filled with unexpected encounters, witty dialogue, and heartwarming moments.

The film delivers charm, humor, and unforgettable lines like, “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.”

Me Before You (2016)

Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin deliver an emotional roller coaster in this adaptation of Jojo Moyes's novel. The film follows Louisa Clark (Emilia), a quirky, optimistic, and bumblebee tights-loving woman, who forms an unexpected bond with Will Traynor (Sam), a once-adventurous man who becomes a quadriplegic after an accident.

Me Before You beautifully explores how love can change a person’s perspective on life and teaches valuable lessons about cherishing every moment.

 

Flipped (2010)

This coming-of-age romance tells the sweet story of first love from both perspectives—Bryce and Juli. Set in the 1960s, Flipped showcases the innocence of young romance, personal growth, and the way love can transform people.

The dual narrative gives insight into how people perceive relationships differently, making this film an endearing and nostalgic to watch.

 

How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)

Matthew McConaughey’s hilarious game of love, deception, and unexpected feelings makes How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days romantic comedy gold.

The film follows the story of Andie (Kate Hudson), a journalist who tries to make a guy dump her in 10 days, while Ben (Matthew), an advertising executive, wagers that he can make any woman fall for him in 10 days.

The witty banter, chaotic antics, and undeniable chemistry between the leads make this a rom-com classic. A little heads-up—get ready for some serious last song syndrome (LSS) with Carly Simon’s "You're So Vain."

 

Valentine's Day (2010)

With a star-studded cast including Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Taylor Swift, and more, this film intertwines multiple love stories set on Valentine’s Day. From teenage crushes to rekindled romance, this film has something for everyone.

A little trivia - the film marks Taylor Swift’s acting debut in a major motion picture alongside her then-boyfriend Taylor Lautner.

 

Enchanted (2007)

Amy Adams brings whimsical charm as Giselle, a fairy-tale princess who gets transported into modern New York. She meets Robert (Patrick Dempsey), a lawyer, and their worlds hilariously collide in a magical romance.

The film offers a nostalgic trip back to childhood fairy tales, where finding true love and sealing it with a kiss was the ultimate dream. Be prepared to sing along with the film’s memorable musical numbers.

 

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

A dazzling love story set in Singapore’s high society, Crazy Rich Asians follows Rachel Chu as she discovers her boyfriend, Nick Young, is from one of the wealthiest families in Asia. Family drama and cultural differences create challenges for their relationship.

A Filipino pride moment: The Queen of All Media, Kris Aquino, had a cameo in the film as Princess Intan.

 

The Proposal

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds bring humor, chemistry, and heart to this fake-engagement-turned-real love story.

Margaret (Sandra), a high-powered book editor, forces her assistant Andrew (Ryan) to marry her to avoid deportation, leading to hilarious and romantic moments.
