Valentine’s Day often is a mixed box of chocolates for a lot of folks. For both partnered people and single people alike, Valentine’s Day is a feel-good time despite the coldness of February. But for others, well, the holiday can be a struggle. And after almost a full year of everyone having to limit their contact with other people, the love-centric holiday may be all the more bittersweet. However, love isn’t just romantic or even solely platonic. With the stress of daily life as well as pandemic life, self-love may be more important than ever.

February, what a romantic month! It is the only month where buying overpriced roses are acceptable and a box of chocolate turns into an iconic and memorable gift. Whether you are dining out or cooking a special meal for your significant other or for yourself this Valentine’s Day, there is no better way to end the night by indulging in some of the best romantic movies ever made.
