Swoon! 10 romantic books you’ll love if you blitzed Bridgerton

Annapurna

We love a love story—which explains the endless stacks of romance novels piling up on our nightstand. Thanks to romantic movies and rom-coms, we can fall in love over and over again, without the risk of heartbreak. All it takes is one viewing of Titanic for us to feel “on top of the world.” (Well, in the first hour, at least.)

While Titanic may be one of the most epic films on this list, there are many more where that came from—including hidden gems you may not have seen yet. We’ve assembled a broad range of romantic movies from Hollywood to Bollywood. And since there’s no one kind of love, these movies are about everything: Instant connections (Before Sunrise) and short-lived affairs (Brief Encounter); wedding celebrations (Monsoon Wedding) and the travails of dating (Love Jones). Some, like The Big Sick, are even based on true stories.

Since romantic movies beg to be revisited, all of our selections are available to stream either on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or other services. Movie marathon, anyone? Happy endings are not guaranteed, but unforgettable stories are.

Casablanca

On the eve of WWII, Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) encounters a former lover, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), while she’s trying to flee Morocco with her husband. That old flame of theirs has not faded—but is there a chance for them to be together? No matter what happens next, Rick and Ilsa will always have Paris, and we’ll always have them.

Love and Basketball

As kids, Monica (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy (Omar Epps) bond over their shared love for basketball. As they grow older, their romantic connection and their careers grow in tandem. Love and Basketball is coming-of-age-story, sports movie, love story, and classic, all in one.

Before Sunrise

A French student (Julie Delpy) and an American wanderer (Ethan Hawke) meet on a train, and spend an enchanted day roaming around Vienna until their other obligations pierce the bubble they’ve created. This simple plot summary hardly touches the magic of this film, which builds connection the way it’s built in real life: Through conversation and an ineffable spark. BRB, booking one of these scenic train routes because… you never know. For the full effect, watch the entire trilogy, which tracks Jesse and Celine over the years.

In the Mood for Love is the kind of movie that will have you longing as deeply as the characters on screen.

A Star Is Born

A Star Is Born is a romance made, and remade, for each generation since the first version in 1937. The movie’s fourth iteration stars Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga as an aging rocker and a cabaret singer with star potential.

As he says, so famously, “I just wanted to take another look at you.”

If Beale Street Could Talk

In 1970’s Harlem, Tish (KiKi Layne), Fonny (Stephan James) fall in love. Thanks to Barry Jenkins’ direction and the movie’s gorgeous cinematography, their love story is rendered with undeniable reverence. But false accusations send what should be the couple’s happy ending careering. What is the place for romance in a world of injustice? Based on James Baldwin’s 1974 novel, the story is as relevant as the year it came out.

Little England

Little England is an old-fashioned romantic drama, in that it’s sweeping, epic, and will have you hanging on to every last plot twist. Orsa (Pinelopi Tsilika) and Moscha (Sofia Kokkali) are sisters living on the windswept island of Andros in the 1930s. It’s a place where men are gone sailing for most of the year, leaving women to dream of romance—or escape. Their mother is set on marrying them off, and doesn’t take their desires into consideration. What results is a gut-wrenching tale of forbidden love, within a family.

Call Me By Your Name

Based on Andre Aciman’s novel of the same name, Call Me By Your Name is a love story infused with Mediterranean summer light, longing that transcends boundaries, and a feeling of fate. As much as this is the story of Oliver (Armie Hammer) and Elio (Timothee Chalamet), it’s worth watching for the tour-de-force monologue from Elio’s father (Michael Stuhlbarg), who understands the urgency of love.
