There is no better way of celebrating this time of the year than by being a cinephile. Cheers to the season of romance,  or lack thereof. Affection in the air calls for couples to go on dates, significant others to honour relationships, and… taken people to do whatever taken people do — more importantly, it calls for a showtime special. Screen these motion pictures that are great third wheels on date night and great company for hopeless romantics. This list is a what-to-watch guide for features that — likewise this time of year — propagate romance. Without further ado; a film bro (woman), a movie critic (avid Letterboxd user), a cinema student (undergraduate who minors in cinema), and above all an emotionally unavailable, emotionally uninterested, emotionally unserious person presents: Really Romantic Recommendations.
