If you want to slip into the Valentine’s mood without committing to a full emotional meltdown, rom‑coms are the perfect warm‑up. Sweet, funny, a little chaotic — they’re the cinematic equivalent of a soft sweater and a good flirtation. Here are five that will get you glowing this week.

1. 10 Things I Hate About You

Sharp, witty, and endlessly rewatchable. Heath Ledger singing in the bleachers remains top‑tier romantic chaos.

Vibe: teen nostalgia, big gestures, 90s eyeliner.

2. Crazy Rich Asians

A modern classic with lush visuals, family drama, and a proposal scene that still hits.

Vibe: glamour, travel, emotional payoff.

3. Notting Hill

The blueprint for “ordinary person meets extraordinary person.” Hugh Grant’s awkward charm is undefeated.

Vibe: cozy London, bookstore flirting, soft sincerity.

4. Set It Up

Proof that the rom‑com isn’t dead. Two overworked assistants, one matchmaking scheme, and great chemistry.

Vibe: modern, breezy, New York energy.

5. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Peak early‑2000s rom‑com: chaotic, stylish, and surprisingly heartfelt beneath the antics.

Vibe: yellow dress, enemies-to-lovers, pure fun.
