It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, which means only one thing: Captain America: Brave New World. Surprisingly, Marvel is electing to release their first movie of 2025 over the romantic holiday. However, it’s technically a four-day weekend because of President’s Day, so it’s an extra day to claim more box office receipts. Brave New World should open north of $90 million over the four-day weekend.

Like many of you this holiday, Valentine’s Day is an excuse to watch romantic movies. FAST services offer a wide selection of romance movies for free. Seriously, signing up for one of these services does not cost any money. With that being said, try one of these three movies: a raunchy teen comedy, a 1990s romantic classic, and a 1980s dancing flick.

Sex Drive (2008)

Summit Entertainment

A teen sex comedy involving the Amish was probably not on anyone’s bingo card except Sean Anders, the writer and director of Sex Drive. Recent high school graduate Ian (Josh Zuckerman) wants to lose his virginity more than anything. While scoping out potential talent online, Ian stumbles across “Ms. Tasty,” a beautiful woman who agrees to meet in person.

Ian lives in Illinois, while Ms. Tasty resides in Tennessee. With the help of his best friends Lance Nesbitt (Clark Duke) and Felicia Alpine (Amanda Crew), Ian steals his brother’s car and hits the open road. The trio stumbles upon an Amish community hosting a Rumspringa party. The hijinks have only just begun, especially when Ms. Tasty might be someone else.

Ghost (1990)

Ghost (1990) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

Who knew pottery could be such a beautiful activity? Throw on some Unchained Melody, and Ghost is possibly the most romantic movie about the supernatural. Banker Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) lives with his girlfriend Molly Jensen (Demi Moore) in a Manhattan loft. While walking home one night, Sam is murdered in front of Molly. Sam refuses to go to heaven, electing to stay on Earth and identify his killer.

Unfortunately for Sam, his best friend and business partner, Carl Bruner (Tony Goldwyn), hired a criminal to shake him down for passwords to a lucrative business account. Knowing Carl must get these passwords from Molly, Sam seeks aid from psychic Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg). Oda Mae is the only one who can see Sam, so she reluctantly agrees to help. Oda Mae will have to hurry with an unhinged Carl on the loose.

Dirty Dancing (1987)

Before Swayze turned to pottery, he was the best dancer at an upscale Catskills resort in Dirty Dancing. It’s the summer of 1963. Baby (Jennifer Grey) and her family decide to spend the coming weeks at the resort. One night, Baby dances with instructor Johnny Castle (Swayze) at a secret party. Baby is instantly smitten with Johnny.

When Johnny’s dance partner is sidelined after a botched abortion, Johnny turns to Baby as a replacement. The problem is Baby’s domineering father (Jerry Orbach) wants his daughter to stay away from Johnny. Baby obviously doesn’t listen and sneaks off to practice with Johnny, and eventually, the two fall in love. With the summer winding down, Johnny and Baby contemplate their futures and, more importantly, prepare for the final dance.

3 great free movies to stream this weekend (March 7-9)
Simon Rex stands in a donut in Red Rocket.

Welcome back, Bong Joon Ho. It's been six years since Parasite, the spectacular thriller that became the first non-English-language film to win the Oscar for Best Picture. This weekend, Bong returns with his latest film, Mickey 17. The sci-fi comedy follows a disposable employee (Robert Pattinson) who returns as a clone after repeatedly dying on a colonization mission.
Mickey 17 is already generating positive reviews, which isn't surprising because of the talent behind the camera. In honor of Bong's return, one of the free movies to stream this weekend comes from his early filmography. The other two selections are dedicated to an Oscar-winning filmmaker and an acting legend who recently passed away.
We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
Memories of a Murder (2003)

With all due respect to Barking Dogs Never Bite, Bong's second feature, Memories of a Murder, is the one that put him on the map. Based on a real-life South Korean serial killer, Memories of a Murder follows Park Doo-man (Song Kang-ho) and Seo Tae-yoon (Kim Sang-kyung), two detectives assigned to investigate a string of rapes and murders.
The two detectives possess different styles — Park is the aggressive investigator, while Seo relies more on scientific analysis. Essentially, the movie presents an old-school versus new-school approach to policing. The ruthlessness and brutality weigh heavily on both investigators, as it tests their ethics and values. Instead of an open-and-shut whodunit, Bong explores morality and human fallibility, resulting in one of the best murder mysteries of all time.

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

Unfortunately for romance advocates, ensemble rom-coms are a thing of the past. These stories were a good excuse to get a group of famous and attractive actors into one movie. These easy-to-digest movies are the perfect form of escapism. Today's pick is He's Just Not That Into You. The cast includes Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Justin Long, Scarlett Johansson, and Bradley Cooper.
Set in Baltimore, He's Just Not That Into You follows nine people who navigate love, dating, and everything in between. The standout characters include Gigi (Goodwin), who misreads romantic situations; Janine (Connelly), who thinks her husband (Cooper) might be lying to her; and Mary (Barrymore), a woman whose dates go nowhere. Is every storyline perfect? No, but there is enough romance and charm to keep you watching.

The Squid and the Whale (2005)

Noah Baumbach, known for directing the more popular Frances Ha and Marriage Story, tells the story of a dysfunctional family in the criminally underrated The Squid and the Whale. Set in 1980s Brooklyn, the indie comedy-drama revolves around the Berkmans, whose lives change for the worse when parents Bernard (Jeff Daniels) and Joan (Laura Linney) announce their divorce. This negatively affects their sons: 16-year-old Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) and his younger brother, Frank (Owen Kline). The rift between the family worsens when Bernard's pretentious intellectualism and Joan's newfound independence cause even more friction.
Bolstered by a semi-autobiographical lens that draws from Baumbach's own childhood and the efforts of producer Wes Anderson, the 2005 film is unflinching in its tragicomic approach to its story. It's an honest portrayal of the messiness of divorce, fully embracing awkward and unfiltered moments experienced by its unlikable characters. The Squid and the Whale's often quirky and subtle humor may alienate most viewers, but any fan of similar intimate and character-driven portraits of imperfect families should add this one to their watchlist.
