They\u2019re notorious feel-good movies \u2014 a little sappy at times, but iconic and nostalgic. They\u2019ll leave you wishing you could cuddle up next to a fire with as many trashy rom-coms as you can imagine. Get that popcorn popping!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legally Blonde<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only does it star Reese Witherspoon (a legend!), but it\u2019s a movie about empowering girls and finding your inner strength. I always try to watch this movie at least once a year because Elle\u2019s transformation in the movie is just so iconic and badass. It\u2019s a good reminder that you can always have a strong comeback and work hard toward your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Proposal<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Proposal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the many perfect romantic comedies I recommend. I might be a little biased because part of it was filmed in Massachusetts, but this movie with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is so funny and heartwarming. This is definitely the kind of movie you want to watch if you\u2019re looking for an unconventional and tropey couple. Margaret Tate (Bullock) basically persuades her assistant, Andrew Paxton (Reynolds), into marrying her so she can stay a citizen of the United States \u2014 and keep her position as a boss in a big corporate company.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Cinderella Story<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Cinderella Story<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is THE movie to see with your galentines. It\u2019s a story about Sam (Hillary Duff) who grows up with a wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. It\u2019s set in the early 2000s in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, and Sam\u2019s biggest dream is to get into Princeton because of a story her dad used to tell her (about how all princes go to Princeton) before he passed away in an earthquake accident. Sam starts a pen pal relationship with another prospective student who also wants to get into Princeton. Little does she know that the guy she\u2019s talking to is the quarterback of her high school football team \u2014 Austin Ames (Chad Michael Murray)!<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knight and Day<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a movie that stars actual adults, and is a tad bit spicier, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knight and Day<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is your movie. If you\u2019re a sucker for romantic tropes and action movies, you\u2019ll love this one. June Havens (Cameron Diaz) meets a \u201crogue\u201d operative, Roy Miller (Tom Cruise), on her plane back to Boston. Chaos ensues, and she finds herself a part of the covert mess Roy created with his colleagues and enemies alike. June realizes their worlds might be too different for anything to happen between the two of them, but the movie ends with a twist that ultimately leaves her satisfied.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Caisi Calandra If you\u2019re single and hanging out with your gals this Valentine\u2019s Day, these movies will put you and everyone else in the best of moods.
