Whether you’re in a new relationship, happily coupled, or flying solo, here are the perfect movies for Valentine’s Day.
For the Romantics
Before Sunrise — Still the gold standard of on-screen romance. If you haven’t seen it, tonight’s the night.
The Big Sick — A love story that’s also hilarious and based on a true story. It hits every emotional note perfectly.
For the Cynics
Marriage Story — A beautifully acted portrait of a relationship falling apart. Maybe save this one for after Valentine’s Day.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind — The anti-romance that’s actually the most romantic movie ever made. Confused? Just watch it.
For Laughs
Palm Springs — A time-loop rom-com that’s fresh, funny, and surprisingly moving.
Crazy Rich Asians — Glamorous, heartfelt, and endlessly rewatchable.
For Something Different
Portrait of a Lady on Fire — A masterpiece of slow-burn romance and artistic passion.
In the Mood for Love — Perhaps the most visually stunning romance ever filmed.
Solo Viewing
Being single on Valentine’s Day? Treat yourself to any of the above. Great cinema is great company.
