Our pick of the best “Valentine’s” films for singletons (that aren’t remotely gooey)

Valentine’s is surely one of the most exhausting days of the year. If you’re dating, it's full of stress, expectation (which is unlikely to be met) and last-minute dashes to the florist. And if you’re not, it's an unnecessary reminder that things haven't gone perfectly in the romance department of late. Navigating a (freezing cold) solo cuffing season has been hard enough, thank you.

So if you planned to go home, watch a film and wait for the day to be over, we have your back with a guide of fantastic non-Valentine Valentine’s films, full of powerful women living their lives independently (or sometimes in spite) of men. See you on the other side.
