Are you single? Taken? Not sure what to make of that Tinder hook up you keep going back to? Does it matter? Not really, but if you’re stressed about your relationships and/or life and want to take a moment to forget your troubles and woes, I suggest you focus on someone else’s dramatics for a change. Turn on a movie instead of stressing. It’s an easy way to kick back so cue up Netflix, brew a cup of tea and cuddle up with your pillow, best friends or significant other while watching any of the following movies.

1. For all the Single Ladies (and Gents):

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

A classic movie that leaves you longing for a hand to hold.

Paper Towns

Revel in the beauty of friendship and road trips! Love is all around, in every crevice of your being. You can find fulfillment in loving your friends and your life. This movie reminds you of that.  

How to Be Single

You’ll have to venture to a theater for this one. It’s sure to be a crowd pleaser and laugh-out-loud funny!

2. Cozy Night in with Your Significant Other:

Shakespeare in Love

The award winning movie makes girls sigh and guys want to step up their game.

Love Actually

This movie is sure to make you appreciate your boyfriend/girlfriend in all the ways that count. Plus, it’ll make you laugh!

Sleepless in Seattle

Another classic! Who doesn’t love this missed connections fairytale?

3. Not Sure Where You Stand:

Friends with Benefits

The classic tale of friends (with benefits) is sure to leave you and your hookup partner thinking long and hard about where this is going. Good for a conversation starter.

No Strings Attached

Another interesting one to watch when you’re not sure where you stand. Are you casual? Casual but serious enough to hang out on Valentine’s Day? The options are endless!

4. Not Sure Who You Want:

Bare

This is a sleepy indie tale of a girl figuring herself out. Sure to leave you breathless, this film is an intriguing look at the wonders of life and love.

TIG

A documentary centered on a comedian coming to terms with her diagnosis. An interesting way to contemplate how fragile life is, and how important it is to love while you can.

5. A Feel Good Movie with Friends:

The Fault in Our Stars

Will leave you sobbing on the floor, cursing the heavens above. Will also make you feel all the emotions all at once.

Valentine’s Day

Celebrate the many ways love comes about. Also, revel in the fact that Taylor Swift has some adorably cute scenes and a terribly funny dance sequence!
