Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s a chance to pause, celebrate love, and create special memories with the people who mean the most to us. For me, one of the best ways to set the tone for a romantic evening is with a cozy movie night. Over the years, I’ve discovered some truly beautiful films that never fail to capture the magic of love.

If you’re planning your own Valentine’s celebration, these are my top 10 romantic movies that I think you’ll fall in love with, too. Whether you’re cuddling up with your partner or indulging in some self-care with a glass of wine, these films are guaranteed to inspire all the warm, fuzzy feelings.

  • The Notebook

    I’ll admit it—The Notebook always gets me. There’s just something about Noah and Allie’s story that hits differently every time I watch it. The passion, the obstacles, and the way they never give up on each other make this film unforgettable. If you’re a sucker for timeless romance like I am, this one’s a must-watch.

  • Pride & Prejudice

    I fell in love with the 2005 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice the first time I saw it. The tension between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy is just so captivating. It’s the kind of movie that makes you want to light some candles, curl up on the couch, and get lost in their world of wit and charm.

  • Titanic

    Okay, who doesn’t cry at least once during Titanic? I know I do. Jack and Rose’s love story is epic, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. The iconic “I’m flying” scene gets me every single time. This one’s perfect if you’re in the mood for a sweeping romance with a little bit of drama.

  • La La Land

    I can’t think of another movie that captures the magic of following your dreams and falling in love quite like La La Land. The music, the visuals, and the bittersweet ending—it’s all so beautiful. Every time I watch this, I’m reminded of how love can change us in the most unexpected ways.

  • Crazy Rich Asians

    This movie is such a fun ride! I loved watching Nick and Rachel navigate their relationship amidst all the family drama and opulence. It’s glamorous, heartfelt, and has just the right amount of humor. Plus, that wedding scene? Total perfection.

  •  To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

    This one always makes me smile. Lara Jean and Peter’s story is so sweet and relatable—it takes me right back to my first crush. If you’re looking for something lighthearted and heartwarming, this movie is like a warm hug in film form.

  • A Walk to Remember

    I’ll never forget the first time I watched this movie. Jamie and Landon’s love story is so pure and emotional—it’s impossible not to feel moved by it. It’s one of those films that stays with you long after the credits roll.

  • When Harry Met Sally

    This is one of my all-time favorite romantic comedies. The chemistry between Harry and Sally is just incredible, and the dialogue is so sharp and witty. Every time I watch it, I find myself laughing, crying, and rooting for them to finally figure it out.

  • The Fault in Our Stars

    The Fault in Our Stars is such a tearjerker, but it’s also incredibly beautiful. Hazel and Gus’s love story is a reminder to cherish every moment with the people we care about. I can’t watch this without a box of tissues nearby, but it’s so worth it.

Now, the special mention to: 10 Things I Hate About You

This movie is pure fun! Kat and Patrick’s romance is playful, edgy, and completely swoon-worthy. I love the way it mixes humor with heartfelt moments, and Heath Ledger’s serenade? Absolute perfection.

How I Make My Valentine’s Movie Night Extra Special?

For me, a perfect movie night isn’t just about the film—it’s about creating an atmosphere that feels cozy and romantic. I love adding a few thoughtful touches, like soft blankets, mood lighting, and maybe some wine or hot cocoa.

And of course, Valentine’s is also the perfect time for gifts! Whether it’s gifts for him, gifts for her, or something that enhances your space (hello, cute home decor), I always find that a little surprise adds to the magic of the evening.

These movies are all about celebrating love in its many forms, and I hope they inspire you as much as they’ve inspired me. What’s your favorite romantic movie? Let me know in the comments—I’m always looking for new recommendations!
