As with many romance movies, at one point, it doesn’t look like the relationship would last. But, the guy redeems himself with a very memorable gift that shows his thoughtfulness.
It is the perfect Valentine’s movie to watch together, and the song “Molly Smiles” is a winner that you’ll be humming long after watching the movie.
14.) Groundhog Day
Released in 1993, Groundhog Day is one of the sweetest romantic movies to watch with your loved one on Valentine’s Day. The drama takes high turns while still having lots of comedy elements.
Phil Connors, played by Bill Murray, is an egomaniac who has no love for anyone except himself and is reliving his mechanical life every day.
Things turn for the better when fate brings together two people to break the monotony of his life that keeps repeating the same mundane routine again and again.
The movie shows that at times there’s only one person out there who can take you out of your otherwise dull life.
Phil is a weatherman who is stuck on a day and keeps experiencing it again and again. It is up to him to try his best to become better.

13.) Hitch
This 2005 romantic comedy has its scenes where you can be left with those moments where you thought it was all over, but then you will realize that love is magic, and if it was true it always comes back.
But that is not the central theme of this movie that although being different, didn’t garner any big awards.
Alex Hitchens, played by Will Smith, has a unique job – he is a professional dating consultant who teaches men how to woo their crush. In other words, he is the “date doctor”.
Albert (Kevin James) is one such client, and Alegra Cole is his crush, a celebrity.
The story takes you through lots of uneasy fun as the date doctor tries to teach a lot of wooing stuff to an adult while also having his affair with Sara Melas.
Somewhere along the line, this romance movie touches on the hearts of millions of nice guys and nerdy men and puts a lot of women on the back foot while making them realize how easily they ignore such wonderful lovers.
The movie will leave you with a striking truth in the end, along with lots of love and kisses and getting back together!
