Cropped About1

About this gallery:

For this gallery, we’re all about romance with a happy ending—because sometimes, you just want to believe in love that actually works out. Perfect for a cozy Valentine's Day watch with your special someone, these movies guarantee that love triumphs in the end. So, if you’re wondering why classics like Titanic didn’t make the cut… well, let’s just say we prefer our love stories without an iceberg-sized heartbreak.

This is just part one of a three-part series dedicated to happily-ever-afters. Didn’t find your perfect match here? Why not check out part 2 and part 3? Your next favorite romance might be waiting!

Cropped His Girl Friday 1940

His Girl Friday (1940)

If rapid-fire banter, sizzling chemistry, and a love story tangled in newsroom chaos sound like your idea of a great time, His Girl Friday is your perfect Valentine’s Day pick. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell play exes who are clearly still crazy about each other—despite their best efforts to pretend otherwise. The witty repartee between them moves so fast you might need subtitles, but the sparks are undeniable. This screwball comedy proves that love doesn’t always have to be soft and dreamy—sometimes, it’s a battle of wits with a dash of scheming. And honestly, who doesn’t love a romance that’s as sharp as it is sweet? | © Columbia Pictures

Cropped Ida Regénye 1974

Ida Regénye (1974)

A hidden gem from Hungary, Ida Regénye is a charming, whimsical tale that blends romance with a touch of old-world magic. This film follows Ida, a dreamer whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets someone who challenges her view of love and happiness. It’s the kind of movie that feels like curling up with a cup of tea and getting lost in a beautifully told love story. While it may not be as well-known as some of the other titles on this list, its heartfelt moments and satisfying conclusion make it a must-watch for anyone who believes in love that defies the odds. | © Mafilm

Cropped Murphys Romance 1985

Murphy’s Romance (1985)

Ah, the beauty of an age-gap romance done right! Murphy’s Romance is the kind of slow-burn love story that sneaks up on you in the best way. Sally Field plays Emma, a strong, independent woman trying to build a new life, while James Garner’s Murphy is the older, charmingly gruff man who just might be her perfect match. It’s warm, it’s funny, and it’s got that small-town charm that makes you want to pack up and move somewhere with a single general store. If you’re tired of over-the-top rom-com antics and want something with a little more heart, this one is a winner. | © Columbia Pictures

Cropped The Princess Bride 1987

The Princess Bride (1987)

"As you wish" has never sounded so swoon-worthy. The Princess Bride is the ultimate fairy-tale romance, complete with sword fights, revenge, rodents of unusual size, and, of course, true love. Buttercup and Westley’s journey is filled with adventure and comedy, but at its heart, it’s a love story that never takes itself too seriously. With endlessly quotable dialogue and just the right balance of action and romance, this one is perfect whether you’re watching with your soulmate or just treating yourself to a cozy night in. Because let’s be real—who doesn’t love a happy ending wrapped up in a swashbuckling fairy tale? | © 20th Century Fox

Cropped When Harry Met Sally 1989

When Harry Met Sally (1989)

The ultimate "will-they-won’t-they" that proves sometimes, the best relationships take years to build. When Harry Met Sally is packed with iconic moments, from that diner scene (you know the one) to the tear-jerking New Year’s Eve confession. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan have the kind of chemistry that makes you believe in love—even if it comes after a decade of awkward encounters and heated debates about whether men and women can really just be friends. Funny, heartfelt, and packed with some of the best rom-com dialogue ever written, this movie is a must-watch for Valentine’s Day. Plus, that final line? Gets us every time. | © Columbia Pictures

Cropped Thousand Pieces of Gold 1990

Thousand Pieces of Gold (1990)

Romance, resilience, and the wild American frontier—what more could you ask for? Thousand Pieces of Gold tells the powerful love story of Lalu (Rosalind Chao), a Chinese woman sold into slavery in 19th-century America, and her unexpected bond with a kindhearted saloon owner (Chris Cooper). This isn’t your typical Hollywood romance—there are no grand, sweeping gestures or melodramatic confessions. Instead, it’s a slow-burn, deeply moving tale of survival, trust, and love growing in the most unexpected places. If you’re in the mood for a romance that’s as tough as it is tender, this one’s a must-watch. | © American Playhouse Theatrical Films

Cropped Stanley And Iris 1990

Stanley & Iris (1990)

Nothing says romance like… literacy? But seriously, Stanley & Iris is a quiet, heartfelt love story that proves love isn’t always about grand passion—it’s about kindness, growth, and two people making each other better. Jane Fonda plays Iris, a working-class widow trying to hold her family together, while Robert De Niro’s Stanley is a sweet, struggling man who hides the fact that he can’t read. As she teaches him, a gentle romance unfolds, reminding us that love can be found in life’s simplest, most human moments. It’s understated but deeply touching, perfect for a Valentine’s Day that feels more real than fairy tale. | © Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

Cropped Sarah Plain and Tall

Sarah, Plain & Tall (1991)

If you like your love stories with a side of rustic charm, Sarah, Plain & Tall is the kind of warm-hearted romance that will make you want to move to the countryside and fall in love by candlelight. Glenn Close plays Sarah, a strong, independent woman who answers an ad to become a widowed farmer’s wife, played by Christopher Walken. What starts as a practical arrangement slowly blossoms into something deeper, proving that love isn’t always about sparks and fireworks—it’s about partnership, patience, and finding home in another person. It’s the kind of movie that feels like a warm hug on a chilly evening. | © Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions

Cropped Pure Country

Pure Country (1992)

Country music fans, this one’s for you! Pure Country is a romance wrapped in cowboy boots and steel guitars, starring none other than country legend George Strait. He plays a disillusioned superstar who trades in his big-stage life for small-town simplicity—and, of course, finds love along the way. With heartfelt ballads, a sweet love story, and plenty of down-home charm, this movie is as comforting as a country love song. Even if you’re not a country music die-hard, it’s a feel-good romance that will have you rooting for love and singing along. | © Warner Bros.

Cropped Sleepless in Seattle 1993

Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

Tom Hanks. Meg Ryan. A love story that somehow makes long-distance romance before texting actually romantic. Sleepless in Seattle is a modern classic, weaving fate, destiny, and late-night radio confessions into one of the most beloved rom-coms of all time. Hanks’ grieving widower and Ryan’s hopeless romantic are separated by thousands of miles, yet you just know they’re meant to be. With a nod to classic love stories (An Affair to Remember, anyone?), charming humor, and one of the most iconic final scenes in rom-com history, this movie is Valentine’s Day gold. It’s proof that sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it—even over the airwaves. | © TriStar Pictures

Cropped A Walk in the Clouds 1995

A Walk in the Clouds (1995)

Keanu Reeves in a dreamy, sun-drenched vineyard, pretending to be a woman’s husband to save her from scandal? Yes, please! A Walk in the Clouds is the kind of romance that feels like a warm summer breeze—soft, poetic, and just a little intoxicating. Reeves plays a WWII soldier who stumbles into an unexpected love story when he helps a pregnant stranger (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) face her traditional family. With breathtaking cinematography, a swoon-worthy romance, and enough vineyard magic to make you want to book a wine tour immediately, this film is pure romantic escapism. If you’re looking for love with a side of stunning visuals, this one’s a must. | © 20th Century Fox

Cropped Clueless 1995

Clueless (1995)

Like, totally one of the best romantic comedies ever! Clueless takes Jane Austen’s Emma and gives it a ‘90s Beverly Hills makeover, proving that matchmaking, self-discovery, and falling for the guy you totally didn’t expect never go out of style. Alicia Silverstone’s Cher is the queen of makeovers—until she realizes she might need one herself (emotionally, of course). Enter Paul Rudd as Josh, aka the charming, slightly annoying, but totally irresistible love interest. With iconic fashion, endlessly quotable dialogue, and a romance that sneaks up on you like a good realization montage, Clueless is the ultimate feel-good rom-com. As if you’d watch anything else! | © Paramount Pictures

Cropped Before Sunrise 1995

Before Sunrise (1995)

A movie that makes you believe in fate, love at first sight, and the power of a really great conversation. Before Sunrise is basically a two-hour love letter to what could happen if you took a spontaneous chance on a stranger. Ethan Hawke’s Jesse and Julie Delpy’s Céline meet on a train, decide to spend a single magical night together in Vienna, and talk about everything—life, love, dreams, and what it all really means. There’s no over-the-top drama, just two people falling for each other in real time, one deep conversation at a time. If you love romance that feels raw, intellectual, and just a little heartbreaking, this is your kind of Valentine’s Day movie. | © Warner Bros.

Cropped Tin Cup 1996

Tin Cup (1996)

Love and golf? Not the most obvious combination, but Tin Cup makes it work. Kevin Costner plays Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, a washed-up golfer with more charm than discipline, who falls for Rene Russo’s Dr. Molly Griswold—a woman who’s as out of his league as the PGA Tour. What follows is a hilarious, heartfelt underdog story where romance and sports go hand in hand. There’s witty banter, a touch of redemption, and just the right amount of romantic tension to keep you rooting for these two. Even if you’ve never picked up a golf club in your life, you’ll be cheering for this love story like it’s the final hole of the Masters. | © Warner Bros.

Cropped The Inheritance 1997

The Inheritance (1997)

A classic period romance with all the swooning, longing glances, and dramatic declarations your heart desires. The Inheritance, based on Louisa May Alcott’s lesser-known novel, follows Edith (Cari Shayne), a humble orphan raised by a wealthy family, as she navigates class divides and—of course—unexpected romance. There’s something so timelessly satisfying about a love story where virtue, kindness, and a little bit of fate bring two soulmates together. If you adore Pride and Prejudice-style romances where love triumphs over social barriers, this is the cozy, heartwarming watch you’ve been looking for. | © Lifetime Television

Cropped Stolen Woman Captured Hearts 1997

Stolen Women, Captured Hearts (1997)

A love story that mixes history, adventure, and forbidden romance, Stolen Women, Captured Hearts is the kind of sweeping period drama that pulls you in and refuses to let go. Set in the 1860s, it follows Anna (Janine Turner), a woman abducted by the Lakota Sioux, only to find herself falling for the tribe’s leader, Tokalah (Michael Greyeyes). It’s the ultimate slow-burn romance—one that challenges expectations, questions loyalties, and proves that sometimes, love isn’t about where you come from but where your heart feels at home. If you’re into epic romances with a side of historical drama, this one will have you swooning. | © CBS

Cropped Ever After A Cinderella Story 1998

Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998)

Who needs fairy godmothers when you have brains, courage, and a killer Renaissance gown? Ever After takes the Cinderella story and ditches the magic in favor of a heroine (Drew Barrymore) who saves herself. This version of the classic tale is packed with witty dialogue, swoon-worthy romance, and just the right amount of historical flair. Plus, can we talk about Dougray Scott’s Prince Henry? He’s charming and brooding—the perfect combo. With an ending that feels just as magical as any Disney version, Ever After proves that sometimes, happily ever after comes from being your own hero first. | © 20th Century Fox

Cropped 10 Things I Hate About You 1999

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Shakespeare, but make it 90s cool. 10 Things I Hate About You takes The Taming of the Shrew and gives it a punk-rock makeover, complete with high school drama, sharp humor, and one of the best rom-com couples of all time. Julia Stiles’ Kat Stratford is a fiercely independent feminist who has no time for love—until Heath Ledger’s Patrick Verona shows up, armed with charm, mystery, and that legendary bleacher serenade. From epic one-liners to a love story that actually respects its female lead, this teen rom-com is the gift that keeps on giving. And let’s be honest, who didn’t fall in love with Heath Ledger after this movie? | © Touchstone Pictures

Cropped Notting Hill 1999

Notting Hill (1999)

"I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." Need we say more? Notting Hill is the ultimate fantasy romance—an ordinary British bookstore owner (Hugh Grant) falling for a glamorous Hollywood actress (Julia Roberts). It’s charming, funny, and packed with moments that make you want to believe in love again. From the adorably awkward meet-cute to the grand, airport-worthy declaration of love, this movie hits all the right notes. If you’ve ever daydreamed about running into your celebrity crush and somehow making it work, Notting Hill is your Valentine’s Day must-watch. | © Universal Pictures

Cropped Love Basketball 2000

Love & Basketball (2000)

Love? Check. Basketball? Check. One of the best friends-to-lovers stories ever? Absolutely. Love & Basketball is not just about romance—it’s about ambition, personal growth, and choosing love while chasing your dreams. Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps play childhood friends whose shared love of basketball keeps pulling them together (and sometimes pushing them apart). Their chemistry is off the charts, and their love story unfolds with all the ups and downs of a nail-biting championship game. If you want a romance that’s as much about passion on the court as it is off, this one’s a slam dunk. | © New Line Cinema

Cropped Chocolat 2000

Chocolat (2000)

Romance and chocolate—honestly, what more could you ask for? Chocolat is a decadent, feel-good love story about a free-spirited woman (Juliette Binoche) who moves to a conservative French village and shakes things up with her irresistible chocolate shop. Enter Johnny Depp as a charming, guitar-playing drifter, and suddenly, we’re all craving sweets and a mysterious man with a boat. This movie is pure magic—filled with warmth, sensuality, and just the right amount of rebellion. If you believe that love, like chocolate, should be savored slowly, then Chocolat is your perfect Valentine’s Day treat. | © Miramax Films

Cropped Brown Sugar 2002

Brown Sugar (2002)

Hip-hop and love stories—two things that never go out of style. Brown Sugar follows childhood best friends (Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan) whose lives are intertwined with music and an undeniable attraction they can’t quite admit. This movie has everything—a killer soundtrack, effortless chemistry, and that classic "Why are you with the wrong person when the right one is right in front of you?" tension. It’s a love letter to hip-hop and to the kind of love that’s built on years of friendship. If you’re in the mood for a rom-com that’s as smooth as a perfect beat, this one’s a must-watch. | © Fox Searchlight Pictures

Cropped Under the Tuscan Sun

Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)

Who needs a prince when you can have an entire Italian villa? Under the Tuscan Sun is the ultimate feel-good romance—except, plot twist, the most important love story is about falling for yourself. Diane Lane plays Frances, a recently divorced writer who impulsively buys a house in Tuscany and slowly rebuilds her life with good food, new friends, and, of course, a little romance. It’s dreamy, inspiring, and proof that sometimes, the best happy endings come when you least expect them. Plus, it’ll make you want to book a one-way ticket to Italy immediately. | © Touchstone Pictures

Cropped The Notebook 2004

The Notebook (2004)

This one needs no introduction. The Notebook is the definition of a romantic tearjerker, packed with grand gestures, epic love, and Ryan Gosling making us believe that "If you’re a bird, I’m a bird" is the most romantic thing ever said. Rachel McAdams and Gosling bring Nicholas Sparks' novel to life with undeniable chemistry, and that iconic rain kiss? Pure cinematic gold. It’s a love story that proves some people are just meant to be together—no matter how much time, distance, or memory loss tries to get in the way. If you’re ready for an emotional rollercoaster (and a very satisfying happy, although bittersweet, ending), grab some tissues and press play. | © New Line Cinema

Cropped Pride Prejudice 2005

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Few love stories have stood the test of time like Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy’s. Pride and Prejudice is the ultimate slow-burn romance, filled with smoldering stares, sharp wit, and repressed Victorian-era emotions that make every interaction feel electric. Keira Knightley’s Lizzie is feisty and independent, while Matthew Macfadyen’s Darcy is brooding perfection—that hand flex alone deserves an Oscar. From misty English landscapes to one of the most romantic confessions in cinema history, this adaptation is pure, sweeping romance. If you love a love story that simmers before it ignites, this is your perfect Valentine’s Day pick. | © Focus Features
