But first, it’s key to set the stage for a perfect romantic comedy movie night.

  • Wines to Set the Mood: A glass of wine and spirits instantly adds a touch of romance to any evening. Pair your red wine with a couple of red wine recipe companions or toast to love in all its forms over glasses of white wine and champagne.
  • Home Candles for Ambiance: Create a cosy and inviting atmosphere with the soft glow and soothing scents of fragrant candles.
  • Speakers for the Best Sound Effects: Hear those dramatic love declarations and joyful confessions loud and clear with a top-quality soundbar. (Pstt, an audio equipment upgrade also makes for one of the best gifts for men!)
  • Popcorn and More for a Sweet Treat: No movie night is complete without some snacks and sweets. Stick true to the cinema classics with popcorn, or embrace a Valentine’s Day classic with your favourite chocolates.

10 Rom-Com Movies to Make You Swoon

Now, let's get to the main event: the movies!

 

Here are 10 feel-good romantic comedies perfect for a Valentine's Day movie marathon with your other half:

  • When Harry Met Sally... (1989): The classic featuring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal explores the age-old question: Can men and women ever just be friends? With witty dialogue and unforgettable scenes, this movie is a must-watch for any rom-com fan.
  • Crazy Rich Asians (2018): Adapted from Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel, this rom-com features an all-Asian cast and tells the story of a Chinese-American professor (Constance Wu) who travels to Singapore to meet her boyfriend's (Henry Golding) wealthy family. It's a visually stunning film with a heartwarming story and plenty of laughs.
  • To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018): This charming teen rom-com follows a high school student (Lana Condor) whose secret love letters are accidentally sent to all her crushes. It's a sweet and relatable story about first love and self-discovery, perfect for reliving your puppy dog crushes.
  • About Time (2013): If you love rom-coms that have a touch of drama to them, this is the movie for you. Domhnall Gleeson plays a young man who discovers he can travel through time and uses his newfound ability to find love and happiness. It's equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking with a unique twist.
  • The Proposal (2009): A high-powered book editor (Sandra Bullock) convinces her assistant (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her in order to avoid deportation to Canada. This film might be the film for fans of the enemies-to-lovers trope.
  • Before Sunrise (1995): This sweet and sentimental classic follows two strangers (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) who meet on a train and spend a magical day together wandering the streets of Vienna. Regarded by many as one of the top romance films of all time, it’s the first in a trilogy that also includes Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013).
  • Pride & Prejudice (2005): This beautiful adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel stars Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy, two people from different social classes who must overcome their pride and prejudices to find love.
  • She's the Man (2006): Throw it back to the mid-2000s with this hilarious modern take on Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night". Amanda Bynes disguises herself as her twin brother to play on his elite boarding school's soccer team, and tons of hijinks ensue.
  • 10 Things I Hate About You (1999): Another modern Shakespeare adaptation – this time of "The Taming of the Shrew" – this witty and charming cult classic delivers memorable performances from Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles.
  • Always Be My Maybe (2019): This Netflix original stars Ali Wong and Randall Park as childhood sweethearts who reconnect as adults. It's a funny and heartwarming film that reminds us that love isn’t just about teenage flings but the beauty of building a future with that special someone.
