As the most romantic day of the year approaches, now is usually a time for couples to make dinner reservations. However, many are probably looking for ways to celebrate their love at home - perhaps by looking up what to watch on Valentineâs Day weekend. You could always go with a reliable favorite like
The Notebook, or a more recent, acclaimed drama like
A Star Is Born, for instance. However, if you expand your search across all of your favorite streaming platforms, you will find more movies that are perfect for the holiday than you will know what to do with.

As Valentineâs Day nears and as Covid-19 continues to confine us to our homes, thereâs no better way to celebrate than by cuddling up with loved ones and watching a cozy, heartwarming film. Even if youâre single, the dreaded 14th of February can still be a fun day to sit back and relax with a funny movie â it will be a Sunday after all, so not even work can get in the way.
Sometimes love is found in darkness. When Pat Solatano (Bradley Cooper) returns home to live with his parents after spending time in a mental institution, he finds a kindred spirit in Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence). At first, Tiffany offers to help him reconnect with his wife, but as they spend more time alone together, the misunderstood duo finds understanding in each other. 2 Mystic Pizza
This small town rom-com, which propelled Julia Roberts to stardom, charts the love lives of three seemingly opposite waitresses in the waterfront town of Mystic, Connecticut. The film covers many of the bases of young love from summer flings to marriage, and even a forbidden romance with a married man as the three attempt to guide one another while struggling to find their way themselves.

I cannot help but fall for Richard Curtis s rather self-indulgent romantic comedies. My level head might be crying No, but my lopsided heart can t help but say yes. For me, resistance is futile when it comes to his scripts for The Tall Guy, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Bridget Jones Diary (which he co-wrote along with the unfortunate sequel that shall not be named).
