Sunday means only one thing – six consecutive hours of football as the top four face off against each other in the Premier League.
With all of that in mind, you might have some making up to do if you’re loved up, and Netflix have released a list of 14 films that they claim are perfect for Valentine’s Night on the couch.
Without any further ado, this is how you get those brownie points back. Oh, and you’re paying for the pizza too.
Lost in Translation
The best Bill Murray film that isn’t Groundhog Day.
About Time
Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams and Bill Nighy in one of the best romantic comedies of the last couple of years.
Love, Rosie
‘Do we really only get one shot at true love?’ reads the tagline to this and 78,061 other films of its kind.
The Best of Me
Like The Notebook, but slightly more offensive.
Chocolat
Johnny Depp pops up as if from nowhere. Juliette Binoche stars. It’s French.
Eat Pray Love
Julia Roberts has a bag of Monster Munch, talks to God on the great white telephone and falls in love with an actor playing her love interest in this film about stuff.
Ghost
Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, pottery lessons, crime, Whoopi Goldberg and a soundtrack.

The Apartment
It’s got Jack Lemmon in it, so it gets our vote.
Begin Again
They should have called it ‘Twice.’ Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley star.
Boy Meets Girl
A transgender take on the ‘I was never the same after that fateful summer’ formula.
French Kiss
Jilted by her fiancé, a woman flies to Paris to win him back. But on the plane, she encounters a sly Frenchman, who plants stolen jewels on her. Vaguely racist.
Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List
Naomi and her gay best friend Ely have been inseparable since childhood, and at that point we stopped reading the rest of the blurb.
Stranded in Paradise
A HR exec learns some lessons about life and love when a hurricane shuts down the island.
She was never the same after that fateful natural disaster.
The Big Wedding
It stars Robert De Niro, which stopped being a good thing around 18 years ago.
