Before Sunrise

After meeting spontaneously on a train in Europe, two lovebirds spend one night together wandering the streets of Vienna. Before Sunrise is a romantic comedy part of the Before Trilogy.  It not only makes you believe in love at first sight but also gives you a fascinating tour through one of Europe’s oldest cities. This movie is guaranteed to spark a bit of wanderlust in your life.

The Notebook

Based on the iconic 1996 novel by Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook from Target is a swoon-worthy classic. It’s considered one of the most romantic films of our generation. Star-crossed lovers Noah and Allie are held apart by social class differences, judgmental family members, and even a world war. They have to fight to overcome their differences in this teary flick. The Notebook will have you believing in true love again!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Unlike other Valentine’s Day movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind deals with the most painful part of the relationship – the break-up. In this indie science-fiction, exes Joel and Clementine have their memories of their memories erased. Memories of their relationship and each other. Although it will take much more than that to keep these lovers apart.

Love Actually

Even though it takes place around Christmas, Love Actually from Target is still considered to be one of the best Valentine’s movies to watch this year. The movie explores ten different love stories led by an ensemble cast starring Hugh Grant, Keira Knightly, Liam Neeson, and Colin Firth. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll sing with joy while watching this iconic romantic comedy!

500 Days of Summer

As one of the greatest indie romances, 500 Days of Summer is the perfect movie about love, loss, and hope. The film follows Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as he analyzes why his dependent relationship with Summer (Zooey Deschanel) didn’t work out. Although it may not be the classic love story, it still retains a positive message about budding summer romances.

Crazy, Stupid, Love

After his marriage falls apart, Cal (played by Steve Carell) re-enters the dating world with a little help from suave playboy Jacob (Ryan Gosling). While Crazy, Stupid, Love from Target will have you chuckling over the witty plotline, it will also make you surprisingly optimistic about the true meaning of love and friendship.

Blue is the Warmest Color

Blue is the Warmest Color is a coming-of-age movie that will take you on an emotional ride through the ongoing relationship of two teenage girls. Faced with growing older, starting careers, and navigating the intricacies of adult life, the young couple must try to overcome their adversaries if they want to stay together.

50 First Dates

If you’re looking for a sappy, heartfelt movie to watch this Valentine’s Day, then look no further than 50 First Dates from Target. After Henry (Adam Sandler) meets the love of his life (Drew Barrymore), he realizes that she has no short-term memory. Since she can’t remember meeting him, he must woo her each day and convince her each time that they’re meant to be together.

The Shape of Water

This Oscar-winning flick may not be a classic love story (after all, it’s about a relationship between a woman and an amphibious laboratory creature), but the star-studded cast, beautiful cinematography, and haunting musical score have made it one of the most talked-about movies of the decade. Even if you’re not a fan of fantasy or sci-fi, you’ll still be able to fall in love with this unique and heartfelt drama.
