Nothing beats settling into your coziest loungewear, ordering that burrito you've been craving, and sinking into your couch, ready to have your heart broken in half and then put together again by a romantic movie. There's something about a good (or bad) romance film that makes for ideal viewing pleasure. It's a heartening world where "fake relationships" turn into a real relationships and meet-cutes are around every corner. And, you know, super-famous movie stars can fall in love with average fans in the span of 30 days. Who wouldn't want that reality?

As 2020 leads us into the next decade, it'll gift us some good, old-fashioned love stories—yes, some even on the level of The Notebook-kissing-in-the-rain-on-a-row-boat. This year will also give us love stories that don't necessarily follow the basic heteronormative narrative. If Call Me By Your Name made you want to drop everything a move to a small town in Italy and fall in love with the handsome graduate student that moved into your summer home, then you'll be thrilled with the romantic offerings of 2020.

Romance movies take us places we want to go, give us portrayals of romance we want to have, and help us find laughter in all those not-so-great love stories. From the film adaption of the popular book of the same name, Stargirlto the revamp of West Side Story, here are the best romantic movies and rom-coms to look out for in 2020. Due to recent events concerning the coronavirus, some of the movies release dates have been pushed to 2021, but we'll keep them on here since they were originally slated for this year.
