Planning a movie night for Valentine’s? Here are a few movies you can choose from

Valentines is coming, where is your boyfriend? While most people are planning romantic restaurant dates, some are actually planning something nice and intimate like watching a movie at home.

Are you looking for some Valentine’s Day movie magic on Netflix? Worry not, here are some top picks I have gathered for you:

  • Your Place or Mine: A romantic comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher as two friends who switch homes for a week and discover new feelings for each other.
  • Notting Hill: A classic rom-com with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, where a famous actress falls for a humble bookstore owner.
  • To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before: A sweet teen romance about a high school girl whose secret love letters get sent to her crushes, starring Lana Condor and Noah Centineo.
  • The Age of Adaline: A romantic fantasy with Blake Lively as a woman who stops ageing after a car accident, and finds love despite her unique condition.
  • Set It Up: A charming rom-com about two assistants who try to set up their demanding bosses, starring Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell.
  • La La Land: A modern musical romance starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as two aspiring artists who fall in love while chasing their dreams.
  • Brokeback Mountain: A powerful romantic drama about two cowboys who fall in love in rural Wyoming, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.
  • Made of Honor: A fun rom-com with Patrick Dempsey as a ladies’ man who realises he’s in love with his best friend, just as she’s about to get married.
  • Along Came Polly: This is a hilarious rom-com starring Ben Stiller as a risk-averse man who falls for a free-spirited woman, played by Jennifer Aniston.

I hope you find something that makes your heart skip a beat and enjoy it with your loved one.
