"Heartbreak feels good in a place like this," as the age-old saying goes. While romcoms may be more traditional Valentine's Day fare, there are only so many sugary-sweet meet-cutes I can take. I've been craving a tragic love story or two to clear out the cobwebs in my tear ducts, and with "Wuthering Heights" set to hit theaters this weekend, I figured I'm not alone. There's something inherently human to stories about the ups and downs of love, and that vulnerability seems to bring out the best in filmmakers and actors alike.
I scoured the best streaming services to round up some perfectly devastating love stories, feel-sad romances, and star-crossed tearjerkers to watch in the lead-up to Emerald Fennell’s upcoming big-screen adaptation. You could also stream any of these movies as an unconventional Valentine's Day watch, though don't blame me if it tanks the mood.
