It’s almost time to buy chocolates, roses, and ultra-romantic films for someone special in preparation for Valentine’s Day, which is almost here. However, choosing the ideal movie might occasionally seem nearly impossible. Here is the list of the best films to see and enjoy on Valentine’s Day in a cozy and comfortable environment.
1.I Am Love
| Genre | Drama, Romance |
| Director | Luca Guadagnino |
| Cast | Tilda Swinton Flavio Parenti Edoardo Gabbriellini Alba Rocheacher Pippo Delbono Diana Fleri |
| IMDb Rating | 7.0 |
Emma (Tilda Swinton) meets a chef named Antonio (Edoardo Gabbriellini) at a dinner where her husband Tancredi (Pippo Delbono) finds out that he and his son Edoardo Recchi Jr. (Flavio Parenti) are going to take over the Edoardo Recchi Sr.’s (Gabriele Ferzetti) profitable firm. Before long, Emma and Antonio are sharing a bed.
The family is already split over the elder Recchi’s strange ambitions, and Emma’s affair is the wild card that could cause permanent division. Emma moved to Italy with her spouse after leaving Russia. She is a respectable mother of three and a part of a prominent industrial family now, yet she still feels dissatisfied.
2. Out of Sight
| Genre | Comedy, Crime, Drama |
| Director | Steven Soderbergh |
| Cast | George Clooney Jennifer Lopez Ving Rhames Jim Robinson Steve Zahn Mike Malone Manny Suarez |
| IMDb Rating | 7.0 |
Experienced robber Jack Foley kidnaps Karen Sisco, a female marshal who saw him get out of jail. Karen knows she has fallen in love with him despite trying to seduce him.
Meet Jack Foley, played by George Clooney, the nation’s most accomplished bank robber. He finds himself stealing something far more valuable than cash on the day he breaks out of jail: Jennifer Lopez’s character Karen Sisco’s heart. She is intelligent. She’s attractive, but sadly for Jack, she works as a Federal Marshal. They’re prepared to take a big chance now to see if there’s more going on between them than just the law.
3. Pride and Prejudice
| Genre | Romantic Drama |
| Director | Joe Wright |
| Cast | Keira Knightley Brenda Blethyn Talulah Riley Matthew Macfadyen Donald Sutherland |
| IMDb Rating | 7.8 |
The Bennet family, a middle-class family in the 1800s England, is the topic of this movie. The main character is Mrs. Bennet, an overly eager woman fixated on finding at least one of her children a wealthy match. Mr. Bennet (Donald Sutherland) is a laid-back, easy-going, and composed individual. The rest of the family’s exuberant behavior amuses him a little. Jane, played by Rosamund Pike, is the eldest daughter. She is quiet, reflective, and serious.

4. Short Term 12
| Genre | Melodrama, action, Romance |
| Director | Destin Daniel Cretton |
| Cast | Brie Larson John Gallagher Jr. Frantz Turner Kaitlyn Dever Rami Malek Alex Calloway |
| IMDb Rating | 7.9 |
This is the very definition of a sensitive, perceptive, and passionate love of filmmaking. Even though Brie Larson received an Oscar for her leading role in Room (2015), I still think this is her best performance. It is based on the same-titled short film and centres on Grace (Larson), a staff worker at an at-risk children’s residential treatment facility. Grace’s memories of her trauma are stirred up when a feisty new girl named Jayden (Kaitlyn Dever) shows around. This might potentially put her relationship with Mason (John Gallagher Jr.), her longtime lover, at risk.
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
| Genre | Romance, Thriller, Melodrama |
| Director | Michel Gondry |
| Cast | Jim Carrey Tom Wilkinson Elijah Wood Kate Winslet Thomas Jay Ryan Jane Adams |
| IMDb Rating | 8.3 |
Although this movie is undoubtedly the most unusual one on the list, originality does not mean sacrificing soul or heart. Written by Charlie Kaufman, the creator of Being John Malkovich (1999), and directed by Michel Gondry, the story centres on Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet), a couple who choose to have their memories of one another erased. Following the necessary medical procedure, both parties must confront their relationship’s shortcomings and ultimately find a fresh energy to begin over.
6. Love Actually
| Genre | Romance, Melodrama |
| Director | Richard Curtis |
| Cast | Hugh Grant Liam Neeson Martin McCutcheon Laura Linney Emma Thompson Sienna Gullory |
| IMDb Rating | 7.9 |
Is there a more famous romantic comedy blockbuster for Valentine’s Day? Screenwriter Richard Curtis (Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral) makes his directorial debut with this film, which follows numerous related couples preparing for the holiday season through failure, success, and trial and error. From the start, Curtis excitedly participates in all his favorite corny genre clichés, like miscommunications, the young person picking up an instrument to impress a girl, and grand love gestures. The game ensemble is equally eager to embrace these clichés. This enjoyable 135 minutes, starring Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, and Liam Neeson, will go relatively quickly.

7. Moonrise Kingdom
| Genre | Romantic, Adventure |
| Director | Wes Anderson |
| Cast | Jared Gilman Kara Hayward Bill Murray Bruce Wills Edward Norton Tilda Swinton |
| IMDb Rating | 7.8 |
Here, Wes Anderson tried his first true love story. It told the tale of two twelve-year-olds from very different circumstances, Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward), who met up in person after falling in love through a protracted letter exchange. The children fled to a place they came to refer to as Moonrise Kingdom, but Suzy’s parents (Frances McDormand and Bill Murray), Sam’s Boy Scout unit, and the sad Captain Sharp (Bruce Willis), the head of the local police department, soon caught up with them. Without examining or resolving their love relationships, none stopped to consider what had first drawn the couple together—they were just focused on getting the kids home and keeping them separate.
