6 films to binge this Valentine's Day with the love of your life

Each year, the cupid holiday brings with itself a series of new merchandise and releases to make your racing hearts pump even faster. While the madly followed To All the Boys I’ve Loved franchise is set to roll out its latest installment To All the Boys: Always and Forever for this February 14, there are other films that can make your day equally special.

‘The Big Sick’

2017 movie The Big Sick stars Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Ray Romano, Holly Hunter, and Anupam Kher. Funny, emotional, and heartwarming, The Big Sick is a boy-meet-girl story. The movie’s screenplay, penned by Nanjiani and Emily V Gordon was nominated for an Oscar.

‘Say Anything’

The John Cusack-starrer is awfully sweet, as far as high-school romance goes. But it also has a certain depth; often missing in youthful romantic narratives.

‘Before Sunrise’

Richard Linklater’s 1995 romantic drama featured dazzling performances by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. In the film, the dialogues mattered more than the narrative and so did the silent moments, which highlighted the woes and highs of modern love amidst a beautiful setting.

‘Beginners’

Beginners is more of a father-son story as it is the duo’s search for their romantic partners. Directed by Mike Mills, Beginners stars Ewan McGregor, the late great Christopher Plummer and Melanie Laurent in lead roles.

‘Roman Holiday’

Roman Holiday marked the Hollywood debut of the iconic Audrey Hepburn. Starring the striking Gregory Peck, the William Wyler movie is about a runaway princess who happens to befriend an opportunistic reporter during her great escape from a suffocating mansion.

‘Sleepless in Seattle’

Nora Ephron’s Sleepless in Seattle released in 1993 is the kind of romantic movie you would not mind watching every other month. It boasts of funny, genuine lines and real chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
