Top6 Romintic movies

COURTESY OF TORONTO FILM FESTIVALIf you're looking for romance—the kind of romance that's notably absent from your Tinder chats—head to the movie theater. There's no shortage of sigh-inducing, heart-melting love stories coming out this year. Here are 16 romantic movies of all genres (comedies, dramas, tragedies—pick your poison!) that'll make your heart flutter.

1'Ophelia'

The Fyzz Facility

Release date: January 22 (at Sundance—wide release is still TBD)

Starring: Daisy Ridley, Naomi Watts, Clive Owen, Tom Felton, George MacKay, and Dominic Mafham

Plot: A retelling of Hamlet from Ophelia's point of view. The movie, starring Daisy Ridley, will focus on the love affair between Ophelia and Hamlet (MacKay), which—as anyone who did their high school reading knows—ends tragically.

2'Fifty Shades Freed'

Release date: February 9

Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Kim Basinger, Arielle Kebbel, Brant Daugherty, Luke Grimes, and Rita Ora

Plot: The final installment of the Fifty Shades series is also the most romantic. Yes, there will be lots of sexiness, but there will also be marriage, kids, and all that happily ever after stuff for Christian (Dornan) and Ana (Johnson).

5'Midnight Sun'

Release date: March 23

Starring: Bella Thorne, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Rob Riggle

Plot: If you loved Everything, Everything, you need to add Midnight Sun to your must-see list. The movie stars Bella Thorne as a young woman with an extreme sensitivity to sunlight, who finally meets the guy she's always admired from afar. She tries to hide her condition from him, but, ya know, love will overcome that.

6'Overboard'

Release date: April 20

Starring: Anna Faris, Eugenio Derbez, Eva Longoria, John Hannah, and Swoosie Kurtz

Plot: This gender-swapped reboot of the 1987 Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell film is more of a rom-com than a straight romance. A wealthy jerk (Derbez) gets amnesia after falling overboard on his yacht, and a single mom (Faris) convinces him that they're married—and wastes no time putting him to work. The original hasn't aged all that well, so it will be interesting to see how the remake plays.
