From the film adaption of the popular book of the same name, Stargirl, to the revamp of West Side Story, here are the best romantic movies and rom-coms to look out for in 2020. Romance movies take us places we want to go, give us portrayals of romance we want to have, and help us find laughter in all those not-so-great love stories. If Call Me By Your Name made you want to drop everything a move to a small town in Italy and fall in love with the handsome graduate student that moved into your summer home, then you'll be thrilled with the romantic offerings of 2020. This year has also given us romances that don't necessarily follow the basic heteronormative narrative. Who wouldn't want that reality?Īlthough 2020 hasn't been good for much, it has given us some good, old-fashioned love stories-yes, some even on the level of The Notebook-kissing-in-the-rain love stories. And, you know, super-famous movie stars can fall in love with average fans in the span of 30 days. It's a heartening world where 'fake relationships' turn into a real relationships and meet-cutes are around every corner. There's something about a good (or bad) romance film that makes for ideal viewing pleasure. Nothing beats settling into your coziest loungewear, ordering that burrito you've been craving, and sinking into your couch, ready to have your heart broken in half and then put together again by a romantic movie.
