What’s Galentine’s Day, you ask? “Oh, it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.” – Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation)

Welcome to my favorite time of the year! Autumn may be my favorite season, but Christmas is my favorite holiday. It’s the lights, the smell of evergreen trees, the Christmas carols… Commercialism aside, there’s just something in the air around this time of year that makes everything feel magical. One of my favorite things to do is to watch holiday movies with my family. That includes (gasp!) romantic comedies that take place around Christmas.

It’s that time of year! Beaches! Vacations! Swimsuits! Sweat, heat, and humidity! But, if by some chance you decide you want to sit inside and chill in the A/C for a little while, here is a list of 10 summer movies that you can enjoy without experiencing swamp ass or boob lagoon!

March 8th may be International Women’s Day – shout out to all my lovely ladies! – but the entirety of March is meant to celebrate women. And so, here is my list of 10 romantic comedies to watch in March, all directed by women.

Halloween is a season that’s grown on me over the years. Christmas remains my favorite season, but there is something undeniably fun and spooky about the month of October—the pumpkins, foggy nights, horror films, and books. Horror is my second favorite genre after romance, so I thought it would be fun to find 10 movies to watch during October for lovers of both genres!

I think we can all agree that the state of the world pretty much sucks right now. COVID-19 is wreaking havoc everywhere. Physically it sucks. Mentally it sucks. I miss normalcy. I’m sure you all do too. But to help with the quarantine-blues, I’ve compiled a list of ten movies to watch while you’re self-isolating. I hope these movies bring you some joy or some cathartic tears. Maybe (hopefully) both! Click on the movies below for my thoughts!

Autumn is my favorite season. I’m going to go full basic bitch right now and tell you that there is nothing like the cooling temperatures, the changing colors in the trees, and the sight of pumpkins and hot drinks all over the damn place (for the record, I am not a PSL kind of girl. Give me hot apple cider any day of the week).

Let’s admit it: Valentine’s Day is a polarizing holiday. Depending on who you are, it can be a day of romance and roses or contrived and commercialized. Regardless of how you plan on spending the day, I’ve compiled a list of ten corny, heartwarming romantic comedies to indulge in. And if you hate Valentine’s Day? Well, there’s a list for you too!
