Watching romantic movies with your significant other is a great way to spend Valentine’s Day. It allows you to get in the spirit of the holiday without breaking the bank. Here are some of my personal favorites!

1. The Notebook

This well-known Nicholas Sparks film is every girl’s favorite. Between the heartfelt love story, the handsome Ryan Gosling and the gorgeous Rachel McAdams, no viewer will be disappointed.

2. Titanic

   

Based on a historical event, this film is a story of great love and tragedy between Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet). Coming from different financial backgrounds made them an unlikely match to others, but for them, it was love at first sight. This tearjerker of a film will leave you feeling heartbroken.

3. Fifty First Dates

   

Leave it to Adam Sandler to put a humorous spin on this inspiring love story. Lucy (Drew Barrymore) suffers from short-term memory loss and Henry (Sandler) attempts to win her over day after day. This film will have you crying from laughter!

4. The Vow

   

Imagine going from being happily married to not even remembering your husband due to a sudden car accident. This film demonstrates how true love can overcome any obstacle. Just like the couple Leo (Channing Tatum) and Paige (Rachel McAdams), this film will make you fall in love all over again each time you watch it.

5. When Harry Met Sally

   

Sometimes, the one you have been searching for all your life is right in front of you. This realistic romance is a classic story of two people, Sally (Meg Ryan) and Harry (Billy Crystal), who take a total of 12 years and three months to realize they were meant to be together.

Everyone loves a good romance movie, right? WRONG! If you are single or currently going through a breakup, these movies will help you survive the dreaded Valentine’s Day.
