Where Can I Watch More Great Valentine’s Day Movies?

Check out our guide below to discover more great Valentine’s Day movies and find out where they’re all streaming online right now. 

01

Valentine's Day

I mean…c’mon it’s literally in the name. If you haven’t seen Gary Marshall’s corny and cheesy ensemble film Valentine’s Day, you really need to. It’s one of those guilty pleasures you can’t help but love. The film centers on a group of Angelinos as they celebrate (or hate) Valentine’s Day. Trust me, it’s a great time and in every scene a new star pops up.

After her mother's death, mediocre chef Amanda Shelton is having trouble attracting customers to her family's restaurant. While shopping for ingredients, she is given a magical crab by mysterious Gene O'Reilly. Afterward, Amanda's dishes suddenly become excellent, inducing strong emotional reactions in everyone who eats them. Tom Bartlett, who is preparing to open his own eatery, tries her cooking and falls in love.

In this indie Canadian horror film, a crazed killer stalks a small Nova Scotia mining town on Valentine’s Day. If you love holiday horror movies like Thanksgiving or Silent Night, Deadly Night, you’ll love My Bloody Valentine. There’s also a 2009 remake, but trust me, the original is way more entertaining.

You've Got Mail
Book superstore magnate Joe Fox and independent book shop owner Kathleen Kelly fall in love in the anonymity of the Internet—both blissfully unaware that he's trying to put her out of business.
A high-school boy, Cameron, cannot date Bianca until her anti-social older sister, Kat, has a boyfriend. So, Cameron pays a mysterious boy, Patrick, to charm Kat.

In this globetrotting rom-com, a wealthy real estate heir takes his American girlfriend home to Singapore to meet his crazy rich family. What follows is classic rom-com shenanigans with a mom who doesn’t approve, a wild party, a bit of backstabbing, and ultimately, a happy ending. Plus, with the Singaporean setting, Crazy Rich Asians is a colorful, visually gorgeous movie.

After losing his job and wife, and spending time in an institution, a former teacher winds up living with his parents. He wants to rebuild his life and reconcile with his wife, but his father would be happy if he shared his obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Meet Cute

2022

In Meet Cute, rom-coms get blended with the iconic time-loop plot device made popular by Groundhog Day. Adding another layer to the film is the fact that Kaley Cuoco’s character is definitely flawed…and despite knowing better, she ends up creating a lot of problems, which makes for a more complicated and deep story.

Meet Cute is not available for streaming.
