Sometimes we forget that Valentine's Day falls in the depths of February — literally one of the darkest, most unappealing times of the year to leave the house. Thankfully, if you're not an overpriced restaurant reservation kind of person anyway, there's always the option to hole up on the sofa and watch some film favourites.

The thing is, romance movie lists can often be solely comprised of two people overcoming adversity against all odds to ride into the sunset together. And let's be honest: Not everyone wants to see that. We're all navigating different relationship statuses, so we've compiled the ultimate movie guide for every possible scenario — whether you're after romance or not.

From an erotic horror to a sci-fi situationship flick, there's a Valentine's Day movie for everyone here.
