The best romance films

Romance films are definitely my favourites to watch. They are the definition of a feel good movie. Full 

of laughter, crying and happiness, even if they are predictable most of the time. With Valentines Day 

coming up, it's the perfect time to sit down and watch a good romance film. There are so many out there 

that it can be hard to decide what to watch, which is why I love writing and reading posts like these. 

Full of amazing suggestions, cult classics and maybe some new films for you to try out! 

BRIDGET JONES' DIARY - 2001

If you haven't watched this film series then you must've been living under a rock. Everyone can relate to 

Bridget Jones at some point during your life. Bridget thinks her life is doomed, being 32 and single. She 

sets a New Years resolution to take control of her life and get what she wants. In classic Bridget Jones 

fashion, it doesn't all go to plan and isn't smooth sailing. This is the type of film that you can rewatch over 

and over again and will never get bored off. 

50 FIRST DATES - 2004

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are a match made in heaven. If they are in a movie, it's impossible

 for the film to be bad. Henry and Lucy meet and immediately hit it off, but the next day Lucy fails to 

remember Henry. After finding out that Lucy suffers from short term memory loss, Henry does everything 

he can to make her fall in love with him. You will find yourself 'oooing and awwing' throughout the whole 

movie and loving every moment. This is a film I wish they made a sequel too! 

SET IT UP - 2018

Working for a workaholic in New York is never going to be easy, which is why Harper and Charlie decide 

to set up their bosses in the hopes that it makes their lives easier. Being a romance film it doesn't turn out 

quite how they planned. I love this movie, and I think because it's set in New York you can that extra 

romance and fairytale aspect, even without realising it. Definitely a feel good movie. 

AFTER - 2019

If you're finding yourself wanting a bit more 'spice' in your romance films then this is for you. The perfect 

amount of romance, depth, tension and sexual chemistry without being too much. Tessa and Hardin, don't 

get off to the best of starts but sharing their love of classic literature brings them together, understanding 

one another on a deeper level. Experiencing new things and feelings with each other. I loved seeing them 

grow together, even if it doesn't go to plan. I look forward to watching the sequels of this movie!

PRETTY WOMAN - 1990

I had to include this classic romance, mainly because it's my moms favourite. Edward and Vivian meet 

whilst she's out at work, and he wants to feel less alone. After spending an innocent night together, 

Edward buys some more time with her and treats her to a week of luxury. A romance between a rich 

man and a prostitute wasn't going to be as easy as they thought. But will they fall in love?

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU - 1999

If I could only choose 1 film to watch for the rest of my life, this would be it. One of many films based of 

the classic Shakespear novel 'The Taming of the Shrew', Bianca can't date until her older sister Kat does. 

Conjuring up a plan, Kat gets set up with the 'bad boy' in the school. But will it all go according to plan, so 

Bianca can date the guy she really wants and Kat doesn't get hurt? Cannot recommend this film enough.

TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE - 2018

Based on the bestselling series by Jenny Han, Lara Jean's secret love letters get sent out. With her life 

being thrown into chaos and trying to avoid confronting her best friend she starts fake dating Peter, who 

also receives a letter. With rules, lying and fake dates a real relationship may be on the horizon, but after a 

video gets leaked and Peter doesn't react correctly that may not be the case. I love everything about this 

film and cannot wait to watch the third and final film in the series.

What are your favourite romance films?
