Nothing beats watching romantic movies with your best pals, whether it’s a rom-com or a story that makes you cry. There are only a few movies that can make you cry, laugh, sob, rage, and ultimately believe in the power of love, and those feelings generally occur in that order (most of the time).
A marathon movie night could be the perfect excuse to watch classic romance films like Love & Basketball, When Harry Met Sally, or Titanic. In recent years, films about matters of the heart, such as Dear John, Crazy Rich Asians, the entire trilogy of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and Love, Simon have broken hearts and mended them back together again, making you want to text your crush again. Messages are exchanged back and forth all night long.
Whatever streaming service you choose, no matter what your taste in romantic movies is, there is no shortage of cute flicks to choose from. In case you are not the streaming. Get comfy and grab some snacks, because these romantic movies will mess with your heart in the best possible way.
You can find all these movies, at least most of them on streaming services. Also, if you like cable, you can catch these on most of the channels.

Love & Basketball (2000)
Love & Basketball is the perfect hybrid film if you love both sports and love. With a story that spans 13 years, it describes the friendship between Monica and Quincy, two athletic rivals who later become each other’s number one fans. Basically, they fall head over heels for each other. Amidst the pressures of their budding professional basketball careers, Monica and Quincy must learn to balance their feelings for one another with the pressures of their careers. It is a standout film not only for its overt romance but because it acknowledges young Black love in a film landscape that often fails to do so. Valentine’s Day is going to be a slam-dunk for this film.
A Walk to Remember (2002)
