Despite the hype of receiving and being surrounded by your loved ones, V-Day also comes with a few snags for those who are single. Nevertheless, not everyone is in search of a partner, and some may even be opposed to the concept of relationships -for their own reasons. In any case, we recommend you buckle up for anti-valentine’s day movies on Netflix this weekend.
The best anti-Valentine movies on Netflix you can watch in 12 hours:
6 YEARS
Those who believe in nothing lasting forever already share something in common with the makers of 6 years. As part of the anti-valentine’s day movies on Netflix, the film examines the relationship between a couple that has been dating since high school. After everything seems bright and gay, their relationship takes a vicious turn when they begin to grow apart and move into different phases of their lives.
THE TINDER SWINDLER
Possibly the best kickstarter for the anti-Valentines Day movies on Netflix. There isn’t anything romantic about this documentary, but it exposes you to the dark side of dating apps-the world of scams. As he showed off his luxurious lifestyle on the app, Simon enticed these women, made them fall in love with him, then borrowed money from them.
GONE GIRL
The 2012 novel of the same name by author Gillian Flynn is adapted beautifully by David Fincher for the screen. The story revolves around the disappearance of the Amazing Amy (played by Rosamund Pike). A few minutes into the film, you realize that something is off about her and her husband Nick (played by Ben Affleck)’s picture-perfect life. Their meet-cute has become his worst nightmare. There’s no escaping Amy and his I’d kill for you love/obsession.
SOMEONE GREAT
Everyone Great is an absolute treasure and a must-see for anyone who has suffered a heartbreak. This romantic comedy, featuring Gina Rodriguez as the lead, is about love, loss, growth and friendship. Rodriguez’s character, Jenny, has a last hurrah with her friends before she moves cities, where she runs into her ex-boyfriend after a devastating breakup.
MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING
In this romantic comedy, Julia Roberts plays Julianne Potter, who discovers that her best friend Michael (played by Dermot Mulroney) is getting married in a few days and his future wife wants her to be a part of the wedding party. There is, however, one problem: Julianne is also in love with Michael. Her intention to break them apart led her to the altar, where she realized the mistake she had committed.
MARRIAGE STORY
You may be having a difficult time if you recently ended a relationship. Still, life has a lot more to offer. That’s exactly what this award-winning film tells you. It inspires you to get up again and feel good about yourself. A movie like Marriage Story would help you get through the day if you feel blue. What movies would you watch on Valentine’s Day if you’re single? We’d like to know how you spent your day.
