Valentine's day is upon us, a day that comes once a year and is often signified by all things red and romantic. The holiday that many think was created by card companies to increase profits which to an extent is true. But there is a foundation of tradition and mythology mixed in. Whilst not one of my favourite holidays, I still wanted to make a little Valentines watchlist after all I do love movies. So, I thought I'd recommend some movies that are perfect to watch on Valentine's day regardless of your relationship status. Plus, here in the UK we are under a national lockdown, so there is not much else to do other than cosy up inside and stick a good movie on. Whether you are celebrating Valentines with a loved one, with friends, family or alone, stick on one of the movies I have picked and enjoy. Read on to see which nine films I picked.
