Valentine’s Day calls for a solid lineup of romantic movies.
Here’s a list of ten romantic movies you need on your watchlist:
1. The Notebook (2004)
No Valentine’s list is complete without it. Noah and Allie’s love story is emotional, dramatic, and impossible to watch without tissues. Big feelings, big declarations, and a reminder that some loves never fade.
2. Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
A modern romantic movie that blends glamour with real emotional stakes. Between the luxury, family pressure, and cultural expectations, this is a love story about choosing yourself as much as choosing your partner.
3. Before Sunrise (1995)
Two strangers meet on a train and decide to spend the night talking instead of saying goodbye. It’s dialogue-driven, intimate, and proof that connection doesn’t need grand gestures to feel meaningful.
4. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Sharp, funny, and endlessly quotable. This rom-com balances sarcasm with sincerity, giving us one of the most memorable love stories of the late ’90s — and a soundtrack to match.
5. La La Land (2016)
A romantic movie that leans into ambition and reality. It’s visually striking, emotionally layered, and asks the tough question: what happens when love and dreams don’t line up?
6. Pretty Woman (1990)
A modern fairytale with staying power. Julia Roberts brings warmth and humour to a love story that’s playful, charming, and unapologetically iconic.
7. Dirty Dancing (1987)
Set over one unforgettable summer, this film mixes first love, rebellion, and unforgettable dance scenes. Romantic, bold, and still as satisfying decades later.
8. Notting Hill (1999)
A bookstore owner, a famous actress, and a romance that feels awkward in the best way. Funny, self-aware, and quietly heartfelt, it’s a classic for a reason.
9. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
Fast-paced, ridiculous, and full of chemistry. This is a rom-com that knows exactly what it is — fun, chaotic, and perfect for a lighthearted Valentine’s watch.
10. Me Before You (2016)
A romantic movie that doesn’t play it safe. Emotional, thought-provoking, and guaranteed to leave you wrecked, it explores love, choice, and what it means to live fully.
11. Titanic (1997)
Jack and Rose. Epic, tragic, unforgettable. Enough said.
