This weekend, we’re celebrating both Valentine’s Day and Library Lovers Day — two occasions that feel perfectly at home together.
Library Lovers Day is one we especially love at Beamafilm. It’s a chance to celebrate the people, places and principles that make libraries such enduring community treasures - spaces built on curiosity, care, access and a genuine love of stories. Paired with Valentine’s Day, it’s also a reminder that some of our most meaningful relationships begin with the stories we share.
To mark the occasion, we’ve curated a collection of romantic favourites, bittersweet dramas and offbeat love stories to enjoy with a partner, a friend, or simply your library card.
From early Hollywood gems such as Seventh Heaven, Wings, A Silver Horde and A Farewell to Arms, through to more contemporary, literary-inflected romances like Kangaroo, there’s something here for lovers of classic cinema, contemporary storytelling and richly realised period drama alike.
Younger viewers and the young at heart can follow the tangled friendships and crushes of Flunk (Seasons 1–5) while films like Greenhide and Dating the Enemy show that romance can surface in unexpected places and times.
This Valentine's & Library Lovers Day, let your next favourite love story begin with a film borrowed through your local library.
For those who prefer their romance with a twist, titles like Kangaroo and the Singapore Sling collection offer unconventional takes on love, blending comedy, fantasy and drama in unexpected ways.
This Valentine’s & Library Lovers Day, let your next favourite love story begin the best way possible: borrowed through your local library.
Watch for FREE with a participating library card or on a 30-day trial. Also, you can rent a film for 72 hours.
