12 Romantic Films to Watch NOW
A perfect way to spend the week leading up to Valentine's Day? Whether you have the screen to yourself, or have a partner or a whole family of friends to watch with, these romantic movies are sure to be a bright spot in your February!
One of the easiest ways to entertain friends is to have a ROMANTIC MOVIE PARTY! Ask everyone to bring an appetizer, serve up heaping bowls of popcorn, a glass of bubbly {either champagne, or sparkling cider} and a decadent dessert or two.
Get comfortable, and pass the tissues.
Some of the Most Memorable Classic Romantic Films to Watch:
{Not in any particular order, these are all fabulous!}
- PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. A favorite love story with Keira Knightley as the spirited heroine who fights snobbery and willfulness.
- GONE WITH THE WIND. Who doesn't love this classic love/hate movie with Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh? Most remembered quote ever "Frankly Scarlett...."
- THE NOTEBOOK. I cried watching this husband tell his wife with Alzheimer's the story of their courtship.
- YOU'VE GOT MAIL. A winner on so many levels. One of my daughter's favorites...we've watched it about a hundred times. Meg Ryan. Tom Hanks. Books. What's not to love?
- BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S. Audrey Hepburn in an amazing role. Chic. Sweet. Wonderful!
- ROMAN HOLIDAY. Another Audrey Hepburn classic, on a vacation with reporter Gregory Peck.
- LOVE STORY. One of the first romantic movies I ever saw. Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal in this sweet, major tear jerker. {Have tissues at the ready.}
- WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Ah...deep, dark romance. I prefer the original with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon.
- IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT. Cynical reporter Clark Gable and slightly crazy heiress Claudette Colbert prove that opposites attract.
- SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. Another Jane Austen gem, Emma Thompson hides her true feelings for Hugh Grant for the sake of propriety.
- SINGING IN THE RAIN. Gene Kelly & Debbie Reynolds dance their way through this musical about Hollywood romances.
- THE THIN MAN. This one hits all my checkmarks. Married couple Nick (William Powell) and his heiress wife Nora (Myrna Loy) solve mysteries while leading a glamorous art deco era life.
You can serve popcorn in our gorgeous bowls, they are guaranteed to make popcorn taste better!

Jenny, I agree. I will have to look at that 1995 version and see if I can stream it from somewhere! Thank you for your suggestion. xo
