6 Underrated Romantic Movies to Watch This Valentine’s Day
Looking for romance movie recommendations to watch this Valentine's or Galentine's Day? Whether you're planning a cozy night in with your significant other, your besties, or just yourself, these underrated romantic classics are guaranteed to deliver all the feels. Forget the mainstream hits—these hidden gems deserve a spot on your Valentine's Day watchlist.
French Kiss
French Kiss
🇫🇷 Starring Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline, French Kiss is an absolute delight. Picture Paris, witty banter, and a love story that’s better than Sleepless In Seattle (yes, I said it). If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re missing out. And seriously, does anyone know where I can stream this? Asking for a friend.
Ever After
Ever After
👑 Drew Barrymore shines in this take on the Cinderella story. Ever After is a perfect blend of fairy-tale magic, girl power, and swoon-worthy romance. Dougray Scott as Prince Charming? Total babe-o-rama. It’s also the only Cinderella retelling that even comes close to rivaling Ella Enchanted (the book, not the movie—we don’t talk about the movie).
Blast from the Past
Blast From The Past
🕺 Brendan Fraser is reason enough to watch this quirky rom-com, but Blast from the Past has so much more going for it. The story of a man who’s lived in a bunker his whole life and emerges into modern-day LA is hilarious, heartwarming, and packed with 90s charm. Oh, and did I mention there’s a dance routine?
Sense & Sensibility
Sense and Sensibility
💌 Move over, 2005 Pride and Prejudice. Emma Thompson’s Sense & Sensibility might just be the best Jane Austen adaptation out there. Written by and starring Thompson herself, this period drama is both beautiful and heartbreaking. Plus, it features Alan Rickman in one of his most tender roles. Need I say more?
A Room With a View
Room With A View
🌷 If you love period dramas, A Room With a View is a must-watch. Helena Bonham Carter plays a young woman torn between convention and passion, set against the stunning backdrop of Edwardian England and Italy. Merchant Ivory never misses. It’s romantic, thought-provoking, and absolutely gorgeous.
Sliding Doors
Sliding Doors
⏳ This British rom-com with a twist explores two parallel timelines in the life of Gwyneth Paltrow’s character. Sliding Doors is charming, thought-provoking, and proof that John Hannah deserves to be in more movies. It’s a classic for a reason.
