A woman watching a movie.Are you looking for a simple, sweet, low-cost, low-key way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your love? Watching a movie or two in the comfort of your own home certainly hits on all the criteria! 

Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to catch a rom-com or romance movie! At Westchester County Mom, we have our faves, and we’re excited to share them just in time to celebrate Valentine’s Day

I’m a sucker for When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail. New York City serves as a character in each of these movies, and I can watch them over and over again. {Christine}

French Kiss with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. Nothing more romantic than Paris and rooting for the underdog! {Angela}

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days: Such fun chemistry between the main characters! {Jessica

10 Things I Hate About You is wonderful. An amazing Shakespearean update with such a great cast and classic one-liners that all “elder millennials” know! {Juliana}

Pride & Prejudice and Emma (1996) are so romantic. I love the interactions and the proposals from those movies. The way Mr. Darcy declares his love in Pride & Prejudice; and in Emma, the way Mr. Knightley speaks with Emma so passionately. {Marcia}

The Notebook: I could watch it over and over again and cry every time. {Michelle
 
Love Actually: I love it – although no one wants to watch it after Christmas! {Nidhi}
 

Bridesmaids: Ridiculously funny! A great balance of friendship and dating struggles ending in finally finding that special someone. {Lelia}

Sweet Home Alabama: I have a major soft spot for this movie because Reese Witherspoon’s character winds up with her high school sweetheart like I ended up with mine. {Melissa}

Love & Basketball: Childhood best friends who fall in love then break up but ultimately find their way back to one another. {Lelia}

The Sweetest Thing: Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate are hilarious in this movie, and I love their friendship (in addition to the romance storyline). {Jessica} 

My Best Friend’s Wedding: I love anything with Julia Roberts! {Michelle}

I love 27 Dresses and just recently watched The 40-Year-Old Virgin again, which I’m not sure if it’s considered a romantic comedy, but it was so funny to watch again, and in the end, the characters fall in love so maybe it is. (Marcia)

Dirty Dancing: Guilty pleasure! The best line is when Baby says, “I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.” It gets me every single time. {Melissa}

So sit back, relax and enjoy the show! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your loves! And let us know your faves too!
