Romantic Movies We Keep Coming Back To
The question of whether to watch a movie or a series often comes up, and when we don't have an answer, there's Pickbox NOW, offering both options. While we sometimes love diving into the creative ocean of series that keep us on edge for days, eagerly awaiting the next episode (unless you're one of those who can binge-watch an entire season in one go), a movie night is never a bad choice.
On Pickbox NOW, you can find a diverse selection of European productions as well as well-known Hollywood hits. The titles range from crime, thriller, action, and adventure to drama, romance, and comedy.
Romantic movies stir emotions in us that we love to feel in real life, and the characters indirectly convey the situations they experience. In such films, we find proof that true love really exists, meet characters we can identify with, and witness complex relationships, whether they end happily or tragically. These movies make us laugh, cry, learn lessons, and see ourselves in them. Pickbox NOW brings you 10 titles you can enjoy, whether alone or with company.
A Room With a View
A romance worth returning to, it stands out for its intellectual take on emotions, encouraging us to think about how we feel, not just act. It shows a young woman planning to marry the wrong man, not out of passion but out of a lack of reflection. In most movies, the heart and mind are on opposite sides—here, they are aligned.
The year is 1795, and young Jane Austen is a spirited 20-year-old writer who already sees the world differently and dreams of doing something almost unthinkable at the time—marrying for love. A love story that has captivated generations, with a wonderful performance by Anne Hathaway, blends myth and reality, revealing whether the young couple will risk everything that matters—family, friends, and wealth—for their marriage.
A misanthropic widower, pompous professor, and indifferent father suffers a mild concussion one fateful night and ends up in the care of a doctor who turns out to be his former student, still in love with him despite his bitterness and negativity. But can happiness be found beneath layers of irony?
Unfulfilled in her marriage, nostalgic 30-year-old Emmy seeks out her former high school boyfriend, Jason, in an attempt to revive her dull life, only to discover that focusing on the past may be preventing her from appreciating what she has in the present.

After her father’s death, Violet is left with just a bottle of his last perfume, the third in a trilogy that needs to be delivered on time—for Valentine’s Day. The formula for the perfume doesn’t exist, and Violet doesn’t know how to recreate her late father’s mysterious blend, but help arrives from an inexperienced botanist with an unusual sense of smell. In this case, is it the flowers that trigger love?
When Kelsey’s magazine approves her presentation on a skeptical view of love and horoscopes, she teams up with astrological guru Carter. Clearly from opposite worlds, they set aside their competing perspectives to create a story about a local meteor shower festival. But as life often teaches us, destiny might really be written in the stars, and opposites do attract.
The title itself suggests a very sweet story, made even sweeter by being filmed in the Belgian city of Bruges. For lovers of classic romance and those for whom romantic films are their favorite genre, this movie is ideal for a day of love in front of the TV. The plot starts with a broken heart but takes a completely different turn.
Food influencer Scarlett gets a big opportunity to work at one of the best restaurants in New York, but everything takes a back seat when her sister Maddie’s wedding starts falling apart.

Of course, at some point, she’ll have to decide—new job and career or hometown and former love?
Romantic films often weave in great loves from the past, and in this case, it’s a childhood enemy who has now become a big-shot businessman. Could the person you least expect actually be the one of your dreams, and how much can you fight against it? If this theme sounds familiar, then this film is the perfect choice.
