If there’s ever a day to indulge your inner romantic, it’s Valentine’s Day. It’s the perfect day to light a couple of candles, send the kids to bed early and curl up with your sweetie for a great Valentine’s Day chick flick.
Honestly, weren’t the old romantic comedies just the best? They just don’t make sweet movies anymore like Sleepless in Seattle and Sweet Home Alabama or classic, must-watch movies like Dirty Dancing.
Every thirtysomething woman knows that “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
So watching a feel-good chick flick is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. If you agree, you’ll love this list of my 30 favorite romantic comedies that I could watch over and over again.
Warning: Reading this list may induce a massive binge-watching session.

These are my favorites, but you’ll notice I stay away from the sappy or sad movies. I am an ugly crier and This is Us fulfills my quota for tearjerkers.
What movies am I missing? I would love to hear what your favorite chick flick is.
Maybe you all can suggest some I haven’t seen, but it will be hard for anything to beat You’ve Got Mail. Tom Hanks + Meg Ryan + 2 bookstores + Brinkley the dog = Perfection
