Peacock Has An Incredible Number Of Rom-Coms Available To Stream On Valentine's Day, And I'm Fifty Shades Of Pumped
And they've thrown in a few 'rom-cons,' too!
You can watch the best romantic comedies any time of year, but Valentine's Day season is an especially apt time to have yourself a little rom-com movie marathon. And for this February 14, a Peacock subscription will make it way easier to choose a romantic movie to watch while snuggled up with your significant other, or a good "rom-con" that happily reminds you why you're single. (Hello, Fatal Attraction.)
The Fifty Shades franchise falls somewhere in between those two notions. Fittingly, just in time for Valentine's Day, all three films in the titillating trilogy — 2015's so-bad-it's-good Fifty Shades of Grey and its sequels, 2017's Fifty Shades Darker and 2018's Fifty Shades Freed — will be available to stream on Peacock, the streamer announced.
Those frisky flicks, which follow Dakota Johnson's Anastasia Steele and Jamie Dornan's Christian Grey as they explore a BDSM relationship, join a whole host of other fan-favorite romances, rom-coms and rom-cons recently added to the streaming service ahead of the February 14 holiday.
Jennifer Aniston fans can watch Along Came Polly or The Break-Up. Jane Austen diehards can swoon to the 2005 Pride and Prejudice adaptation or Hallmark's modern-day spin Unleashing Mr. Darcy. Plus, those craving a good Meg Ryan movie can settle in for one of her best, Sleepless in Seattle. (And, yes, we're still waiting for one last rom-com reunion between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.) Musical lovers can fall slowly for Once's love story — see what we did there? Or you take your rom-com with a side of zombie apocalypse with Warm Bodies.
While the streamer is adding plenty of throwback favorites, like Sandra Bullock's Forces of Nature (1999), Jennifer Lopez's Out of Sight (1998) and Gabrielle Union's Deliver Us from Eva (2003), there are also more recent romantic comedies to stream on Peacock now, such as the 2022 Billy Eichner comedy Bros and the Julia Roberts-George Clooney reunion Ticket to Paradise.

Consider your Valentine's movie night set!
