Our Movie Recommendations to Get You Through Valentine’s Day

It’s that time of the month when a lot of people showcase their different personalities once again. You get to see the “I’m single not searching” geng, the “I don’t care” crew, the boyfriend and girlfriend flaunters, the posers that buy gifts for themselves, and let’s not forget the “chai when” people.

Nevertheless, all these different personalities should enjoy Valentine’s Day because we all deserve love (isn’t that what Valentine’s Day is all about?). To make this day a memorable one, we recommend a nice cozy movie time. We’ve done the honors to collate 6 amazing movies on Netflix that’ll suit your persona and get you through Valentine’s Day!

For the Phone Addicts or those that are Always on Social Media : “Phone Swap”

It’s time to swap your “phone time” for a “movie time!” 😁

Phone Swap narrates the story of Mary (Nse Ikpe Etim), a warm-hearted fashion designer who works under a very stringent boss, and Akin (Wale Ojo), an arrogant, withdrawn and bossy business executive. They accidentally swap their mobile phones at a busy airport, which leads to an exchange in their destinations and the need to help carryout each other’s assignments. The romantic build up mixed with a lot of humour is enough to make your day a memorable one.

For the Nigerian Patriots and Die Hard Loyalists: “October 1”

All ye ride or die clan, this is for you! 😎

His undying devotion and pride in his homeland gives this story an incredible twist.

Here’s the twist, Citation is not just about the act of sexual harassment, rather it’s centered on how to address such situation in the University.

For those that are tired of the Ordinary and love a good Plot Twist: “The CEO”

There’s no better way to say this but this movie will F**k with your mind big time! 🙌🏾

For the Home Buddies, Love Birds and I Go Love People: “Omugwo”

Every Igbo individual or those familiar with the Igbo culture can relate to this 😂

Coloured by their different cultural backgrounds, their mothers-in-laws (Patience Ozokwor and Ayo Adesanya) forcefully move in with the couple to perform the Igbo child care rite called Omugwo. But instead of relieving their children of the burden of childcare, the mothers’ rivalry complicates life for the young couple to comical effects.

For the Dare Devils that don’t want the Regular Love Story: “The Figurine”

Because it’s Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you should stick to the usual “boy meets girl” cliché story… feel free to give it a twist with this supernatural suspense thriller (it comes with a spin of an eerie love story)
