28 romantic comedies that are perfect for February
I’m a sucker for a good rom com, and what better month to cozy up with all the fun movies than February?? I compiled a bunch of my favorites all right here!
When Harry Met Sally
I am obsessed with all Meg Ryan movies. She is so good. And this movie is just perfection.
Sleepless in Seattle
“You make a million decisions that mean nothing, and then one day you order take-out and it changes your life.”
Notting Hill
This has become one of my favorites over the past year. The story, the characters, everything about it is fun and romantic!
The Proposal
Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds; nothing else needs to be said about this one - but I will note that it is one of my top fav rom coms ever.
27 Dresses
This movie is filled with cliches, but it’s so fun!
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Everything about this movie is just fun! This is one that I watch over and over again! The scene with his family on the island - so good!
Crazy Rich Asians
First of all, I LOVE the all-asian cast of this movie! This movie actively works to dismantle Asian stereotypes, and I would love it for that reason alone! Aside from that, the story is honestly really fun and one I watch over and over!
Roman Holiday
Does it get more classic than this? Probably not! But if you are looking for a “vintage” rom com, you cannot go wrong with this Audrey Hepburn favorite.
The Perfect Date
This Netflix original is a cheesy but cute movie about a high school guy who hires himself out as “the perfect date”, and then ends up falling in love with the girl who has been in front of him.
Love Guaranteed
I’m a sucker for anything with anyone from the cast of New Girl in it. Coach is in this one and it’s cheesy and yet so fun.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
This is hands-down the best Netflix original movie that I have seen. Beautiful, poignant, and wonderful articulate in its storytelling.
Pride and Prejudice
Does it get more romantic than this? I’ll forever obsess over this one. it needs to be the Kiera Knightly version for sure - that misty morning scene is perfection.
The Notebook
This one has to be on everyone’s list! Dreamy and romantic and heartbreaking all at once.
A Walk to Remember
The perfect movie if you need to cry. I always sob during this movie, but it’s so beautiful that I can’t keep myself from it.
Brittany Runs a Marathon
This isn’t a traditional rom com or love story, but it’s beautiful and I knew it had to be included. As Brittany falls in love with herself and who she is throughout the course of the movie, it’s a poignant reminder for us to do the same. A body conscious, woman-centered movie that tells a story in a way that sticks with you.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Audrey Hepburn is always a win! This forever classic is a must on all romantic lists.
You’ve Got Mail
This has got to be one of my most-watched rom coms ever. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan will always be one of my favorite movie couples!
The Holiday
Is this normally a Christmas movie? sure, maybe, but it’s perfect for any holiday in my opinion!
While You Were Sleeping
“ Peter once asked me when I fell in love with Jack. And I told him, ‘It was while you were sleeping’.”
Maid in Manhattan
This “Cinderella for adults” story is cheesy and so predictable, but perfect for all hopeless romantics who always want a happy ending.
A Star is Born
This movie is utterly heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. All the tears over this one!
Two Weeks Notice
Few happy endings in Rom Coms feel truly deserved in my opinion, but this is one is so perfect in it’s ending. Also, Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant.
La La Land
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone perfection and nothing else needs to be said. it’s fun, it’s dreamy, and it’s the perfect cold February night pick!
Desperados
I watched this Netflix original a few months ago and I feel like absolutely no one is talking about it. It stars Winston and Aly from New Girl and it’s a perfect lighthearted rom com! So underrated for sure. Cheesy at times? Oh absolutely. But so good.
Leap Year
I’ll confess, this isn’t my favorite rom com ever, but it is such a fun lighthearted one that is perfect for February that it had to make the list.
Little Women
The new one, the old one, whichever one you choose you cannot go wrong. These are perfect and while maybe not a traditional rom com, is a beautiful lighthearted romance for the ages.
Blind Date
I watched this movie entirely in French (with English subtitles) and it was truly delightful! It’s about a pianist and an inventor who share a very thin wall between apartments and start out as enemies and slowly develop a friendship and love interest long before they ever meet. So fun!
Emma
The new one, with Anya Taylor-Joy, is perfect if you love period pieces. I don’t love the main character during most of the movie (which, to be fair, is how Emma was written), but the ending is just wonderful.
What’s your favorite rom-com? I would love to know your top favs! I’m always looking for some good new ones. Up next on my list are It’s Complicated, Pretty Woman, and Valentine’s Day!
