Don’t feel like going out this Valentine’s Day, maybe you want to stay home with your boo (or without one, which is okay too!) and watch some movies. If you and your boo are anything like me and mine, there’s never a movie you both want to watch, or you might just be picky like me, but no worries, I watched some perfect valentine’s movies for you, and sorted them by categories; some may overlap.
