Sense & Sensibility (2008)

When you need a little romance in your life, there's nothing like a Jane Austen novel adapted into a movie. In this classic story, sisters Elinor (sense) and Marianne (sensibility) navigate love and life after their father passes away, leaving his inheritance to his first wife and son. Watch it for the 1800s society drama, gorgeous clothing, and a happy ending (of course).

Brokeback Mountain (2005)

If you haven't watched this award-winning movie featuring a secret love story between two cowboys, played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, now's the time. The acting has been described as nothing less than raw and follows the then-illicit romance that takes place over two decades and transcends marriages and time apart.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)

You've probably seen this movie 10,000 times by now, but it's almost impossible to get tired of. Kate Hudson + Matthew McConaughey = rom-com gold. Plus, we can never resist a movie about the magazine world.

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

If Hugh Grant stars in it, we're there. This 90's comedy stars Grant as a commitment-phobe trying to reconnect with a woman about to marry a wealthy, but boring, man. It's a quirky British rom-com you'll fall in love with.

A Star Is Born (2018)

This remake of the classic tale stars Bradley Cooper as an aging rock star with plenty of demons, and Lady Gaga, a star on the rise, and they fall madly in love. Gaga's vocals are so goosebump-inducing and Cooper's signature hand-through-greasy-overgrown-hair move is so knee-bucklingly sexy that there's no way you won't leave the theater thoroughly shaken by the heart-wrenching ending.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

In this fantasy, a couple, Clementine (Kate Winslet) and Joel (Jim Carrey), undergo a medical procedure to erase their memories of each other post-breakup. What happens when you erase the memory of an entire relationship? In this movie, they not only forget about each other, but they also lose the parts of themselves that grew and evolved, thanks to the relationship. This sad but seductive movie will teach you that no matter how much grief you feel in the aftermath of a breakup, you can't just will away the memory of an ex-lover.
