And then again, I know I can watch Bill Pullman’s character figuring out whether or not to love Sandra Bullock’s character in this movie. Yet to watch with my teens but maybe this Valentine’s | Disney+ |
| Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine For You (1995) | G | 3+ | I saw this when my teens were toddlers and of course, we adored it.. | Amazon |
| You’ve Got Mail (1998) | PG | 10+ | Do we watch it for Ryan and Hanks? Or do we watch it for its sweetness from end to end, and for today’s teens. a charming look at that first version of email 🙂 | Amazon |

And Now, the End of This Post
Dear reader, I am sure you have watched many of these movies? Which of them are your favorites? Which ones are you yet to watch? Will you be watching any of them over Valentine’s Day? And if you have any other movies to add to this list, do let me know!
Oh wow. I’m drooling down the list and thinking, ‘I’ve seen that’ and ‘omg, I remember that. 😆. A Cinderella story was my favourite. I was a teenager when some of the movies were out. Brilliant list. Thank you.
This is a great list of family-friendly movies for Valentine’s Day. My kids and I have watched over 90% of the movies on this list. We are HUGE movie buffs in our home.
I love so many of these movies! My daughter and I have a lot of movie nights and we’ve seen lots of these.
Such fun movies. I’m going to see if any of these are on my streaming platform and save them to watch! 🙂 Thanks for the ideas.
I will be celebrating Valentines day at home with my husband. This is a great selection of movies that we can chose from.
There are so many great movies on this list. I’m going to have to watch Aladdin, Up (my favorite), and a few others. Love stories always prevail and I love them.
I can’t wait to cozy up with my loved ones, some hot chocolate, and popcorn, and enjoy a movie night filled with love and laughter.
What a fantastic list of Valentine’s Day movies! I love that you have Little Women on this list. I love the 1994 version and the book. Another movie you could add to this list is Disney’s Lady and the Tramp.
This is a great list of family friendly movies! I love all of the Disney ones.
I’m spending Valentine’s Day evening working, cooking with my daughters and then watching tv with my son as the hubby is working. Thanks for the list of movies, I can see a few that would be perfect for when I finish work shortly.
So many good classics on that list. I loved “Casablanca”. For a more modern title I had really enjoyed “10 Things I Hate About You” (a fun iteration of “The Taming of the Shrew” by Shakespeare).
I’ve been searching for some family-friendly options for our Valentine’s Day movie marathon, and this selection is just perfect!
I have seen many of these — so many great choices on the list! Lots of wonderful and entertaining films to choose from. Most of these bring back memories as it has been a while since I have seen them. It is fun to revisit a bunch and also check out new ones.
I would add One Day – inspired by the David Nichol’s book – it’s one I really like a lot. I’ve seen most of these – one that I haven’t is the Fault in our stars, probably should…
