As a wife who often faces resistance to watching romantic comedies with her husband, I’ve discovered some lesser-known gems that have won me over with their unique storytelling and charm. Here are my top picks for Valentine’s Day, ranked from one to five roses.
For starters, “Love Again” is a must-watch. Priyanka Chopra shines as Mira, who sends texts to the phone number of her late fiancé without realizing it belongs to music critic Rob (played by Sam Heughan). This film has some great acting and musical performances, including Celine Dion.
Another standout is “Find Me Falling,” which features a beautiful setting and good acting. Jazz legend Harry Connick Jr. plays John Allman, a former rocker who returns to Cyprus for solitude, but finds himself drawn back into society instead.
“Happiness for Beginners” is also worth watching. Ellie Kemper stars as Helen, a woman overcoming a difficult divorce who joins a survivalist course to regain her vitality. This film showcases quiet, conversation-based storytelling that resonates with audiences.
For those looking for something new and unique, “Love at First Sight” is a great choice. The movie takes on the clichéd concept of “love at first sight” and makes it fresh and exciting.
Lastly, two classic films stand out: “Once” (5 roses) and “Somewhere in Time” (5 roses). If you haven’t seen “Once,” you’re in for a treat – it’s an independent movie with great chemistry between the leads. As for “Somewhere in Time,” it’s possibly one of the most romantic movies ever made, with Christopher Reeve delivering a memorable performance.
These hidden gems offer substance and charm that will make your Valentine’s Day date more special. So why not give them a try?
