Cozying up on the couch with a great movie could be the perfect Valentine's Day activity—whether you're a happy single, perfectly paired up in a couple, or feeling completely over the holiday. Here five of the best Valentine’s Day movies, no matter how you're feeling this February 14th.
His Girl Friday
You’ll fall in love with this old-school zingy screwball comedy, which boasts the fastest talking in silver screen history (240 words per minute!). Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell play off-again exes who are trying to break the scoop of a lifetime—all while he tries to woo her back from her new fiancé.
Valentine's Day
On Valentine’s Day, several couples face struggles related to their love lives while others try their best to find love. However, they try to overcome the challenges to make things work. Superstars collide in this 2010 movie so full of intersecting Valentine's Day plot lines you might need a map to track them all (hello, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx, Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Garner, Queen Latifah, and Taylor Swift). Think American-style Love Actually, with a less heartbreaking cheating story.
Always Be My Maybe
“Always Be My Maybe” is a 2019 American romantic comedy film, written by Ali Wong, Randall Park and Michael Golamco and directed by Nahnatchka Khan. It stars Park and Wong as childhood friends Sasha and Marcus who have a falling-out and don’t speak for 15 years. But when Sasha, now a celebrity chef in Los Angeles, returns to her hometown of San Francisco to open a new restaurant, she runs into her old pal--a happily-complacent musician still living at home and working for his dad. Though the two are reluctant to reconnect, they soon find the old sparks--and maybe some new ones?
West Side Story
“West Side Story” is a 2021 American musical romantic drama film directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Tony Kushner. The masterful retelling of Romeo and Juliet has two stellar Oscar-winning movie versions to choose from—the 1961 version starring Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno, and Steven Spielberg's epic retelling (also featuring Rita Moreno!).
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
If you've been wishing you could erase the painful memories of your ex, this not-so-romantic (but totally entrancing) movie from 2004 will show you some of the unexpected results from that. See Jim Carrey in a rare dramatic role—opposite a wild-at-heart Kate Winslet.
