Sappy people, let’s hug up. Valentine’s Day is the ideal occasion to be gooey with the people you love, whether they be your gang or your boo. Perhaps you and your best friends should throw a Valentine’s Day party with a theme. Perhaps you want to spend the evening drinking a huge bottle of wine on the couch after giving your significant other or closest friend a unique Valentine’s Day gift.
Perhaps all you want to do is watch Valentine’s Day movies by yourself while sobbing into a pint of Häagen-Dazs—which isn’t a single serving—of chocolate. All legitimate V-Day experiences, and entirely up to you. Thankfully, Netflix offers a wide range of content to suit your diverse viewing requirements. Some of the cutest, most heartwarming films have been compiled by us to give you the emotions.
1. Lady Chatterley’s Lover
This version of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, written by D.H. Lawrence in 1928, stars Emma Corrin and Jack O’Connell. Furthermore, this is a hot story about a wealthy woman who begins an affair with a gentleman from the working class! The book was indeed so sexually explicit that it was often prohibited in the twentieth century.
2. Good Grief
In Good Grief, Dan Levy is the writer, director, and star. There are many heartwarming moments mixed in with the somber premise of a man (Levy) losing his spouse (Evans) in an automobile accident. The film chronicles the widower’s journey back into dating, the repercussions of his loss, and his relationship with his closest friends, Ruth Negga and Himesh Patel.
3. Elisa & Marcela
The narrative of Elisa & Marcela is based on the real-life marriage of Spanish same-sex pioneers Elisa Sánchez Loriga and Marcela Gracia Ibeas in 1901. However, since it would take another 100 years for this to become lawful, Elisa and Marcela pretended to be a heterosexual couple to get married.
4. Maestro
In the film Maestro, Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan portray the life of composer Leonard Bernstein, emphasizing his marriage to Felicia Montealegre. Although the couple was in love, the fact that Bernstein was seeing other men made their marriage very difficult.
5. Fair Play
For Valentine’s Day, how about an erotic thriller? Fair Play, which centers on a couple who work for the same hedge fund, stars Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich. One of them gets a promotion, while the other gets more and more bitter, which causes their relationship to drastically change. On a Valentine’s Day when men are trash, this movie is perhaps best suited for you.
6. Love at First Sight
Based on Jennifer E. Smith’s book The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, the romantic comedy Love at First Sight stars Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy. The story revolves around two strangers who cross paths on an international flight and have several difficulties when trying to get back in touch after landing in London.
