Everyone deserves a story and a tale of love and joy. Something that sends sparks into one’s heart and mind, leaving no doubt and space to speculate and question. Some might call it a fairytale, and others might see it as an unrealistic fantasy. But despite it all, everyone deserves to be the main character in their story, something that has been created and set only for them. Be it through the movies, books or significant others in any shape or form, it is deserving and in need to be shared and celebrated throughout.
And as today is the day of red hearts and cupids hanging from every ceiling and tree, it’s important to embrace the love you give yourself first before sharing it with others. Because regardless of one’s current circumstances and social status, loving yourself is what will stick with you for the eternity of your existence and not what you give others and how they respond.

The movie is a perfect combination of enjoying a lovable romantic night while being horribly emotional and horrified of meeting an unexpected end, it leaves one in a loop of sadness and excitement of the plot and how the story is driven by the romantic and horror aspects that used to separate themselves, the rest is yours to explore.
- Rom-Com
Everyone loves a slow-burn enemies to lovers kind of story. Something that starts as a heated rivalry with funny takes of characters who try to accommodate their hate for one another without knowing that this rivalry would outweigh their feelings and turn it into something they never expected it to be. And Anyone But You is the perfect pick for such a theme. A true rom-com that melts the heart with the slowest slow-burn and funny intakes of the characters who turn every situation into a fun encounter, until it’s nothing but romantic sparkles and fire.
- The ‘yearning’ kind of love
This year’s theme in romance is based on yearning and waiting for the beloved regardless of time and distance. And for those who enjoy the slow emotional burn of a romantic connection embracing and taking its sweet time, then Dracula: A Love Tale and Surprised By Oxford are the perfect match for the night as they both discover and share the grief of missing a loved one while waiting for them and never losing hope regardless of time passed and the distance that separates the two. It’s the string of hope that keeps one’s mind sane and happy.
- A ‘good cry’ kind of love
Attachments and connections come with consequences too. Not every love story ends happily, some end in a tragedy while embracing the memories of their loved ones, the only thing that makes them survive and thrive to live. Some stories are hard to pass on and move on from, it’s the connection that the audience have built with the characters and the plot that is realistic and compelling to the storyline. And one of the most memorable classics for a good cry and a happy ending through memories and adventures are nothing but PS I Love you and Me Before You. Both movies have a sense of an emotional attachment and love that is pure as a child, the love is so strong that not even separation by death can erase it. As much as it’s sad, the pain resides in the happy memories that were made, and the joyful moments that act as the guiding force in the darkest moments and times. If you’re feeling emotional this season and in need of a good cry, don’t hesitate and hit play on both movies.

And in here we have the perfect date night planned for everyone, the solo riders, the friend groups and the romantic couples who can’t get their hands off each other.
