While it is highly recommended that you don't watch The Fault in Our Stars without tissues nearby, this movie is also a lovely romance featuring good performances from Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort as teens who are trying to make the most of their lives as they deal with life threatening illnesses. It might not be the most conventional Valentine's Day watch, but you'll be hard-pressed not to fall for these two characters.
