Romantic movies to watch this weekend

Here are some of the best romantic movies for couples to watch together, curated by the Readiva review team.

A Walk to Remember (2002)

The Nicholas Sparks novel-to-film registry is vast, but my favorite is A Walk to Remember, which follows the love story between a high school rebel (Shane West) and a preacher’s daughter battling cancer (Mandy Moore). Even after repeated viewings, it still makes me cry.

Moulin Rouge (2001)

One of the most whimsical love stories ever made, Moulin Rouge centers on a young Englishman in Paris who falls for a burlesque company’s lead singer. But the problem? She’s set to marry a powerful duke who’s promised to fund the company’s next project. So the Englishman and singer begin an affair, to the tune of top 40 songs.

The Photograph (2020)

When Mae Morton (Issa Rae) finds an old photograph of her mother, she’s sent on a journey that leads to a rising-star journalist, Michael Block (Lakeith Stanfield). And get this: You can now watch this new, very sexy Rae and Stanfield movie from the comfort of your couch.

P.S. I Love You (2007)

This! Movie! It centers on a woman, Holly (Hilary Swank), who is grieving her husband, Gerry (Gerard Butler). However, after he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, Gerry prepared for his wife’s mourning and wrote several letters sent to her after he passed on. They come once a year and all end with “P.S., I love you.” I know!

Hot Winter Date Ideas

With a lot of us looking for love this winter it may be a challenge to think up some good date night ideas. It may not be too tempting to brave the cold, but rather than resort to the stereotypical night of Netflix and chill, why not give these three winter date ideas a try?

See the lights. If you’re brave enough to bundle up and head out into the cold for a romantic evening stroll, find yourself a well lit public park that’s full of fresh snow. The light’s reflection on the fresh snow will give everything a romantic glow, like moonlight before your very eyes!

Skating. You certainly don’t have to be a pro to strap on a pair of skates and heat things up on the ice. With indoor and outdoor skating both extremely popular during the colder months, and the occasional slip and fall leading to some hearty laughs, skating could be just the ticket for that romantic winter date night.

Happy young couple at home

Cook together. If the weather outside absolutely refuses to cooperate, why not aim a little higher than a lazy night on the couch? Cooking together can not only be a lot of fun but leaves plenty of opportunity for a playful little food fight, and who knows where that could lead? Don’t forget to top it all off with a mug of homemade hot cocoa, the perfect ending to what may certainly be a perfect meal together.
