Vulture recommends movies and TV for Valentine's weekend

Vulture has compiled a selection of new movies and TV shows for the Valentine's Day weekend of February 13-16, targeting diverse audiences from romantic enthusiasts to sci-fi fans. The list highlights adaptations, comedies, and series with themes of love, obsession, and adventure. Recommendations include both theatrical releases and streaming options.

The Vulture guide emphasizes a Valentine's Day weekend suited to various interests, starting with Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. In this film, Margot Robbie portrays Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi plays Heathcliff, whose obsessive relationship intensifies with the arrival of the Lintons, played by Shazad Latif and Alison Oliver, at Thrushcross Grange.

Other featured movies include Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, a mockumentary by Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, where the duo depict fictionalized versions of themselves attempting a gig at the Rivoli. Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die brings Sam Rockwell as a time traveler recruiting diner patrons—Haley Lu Richardson, Zazie Beetz, Michael Peña, and Juno Temple—to combat a world-ending AI. In Crime 101, Chris Hemsworth leads a heist as Mike Davis, pursued by Mark Ruffalo's Detective Lou Lubesnick, with Halle Berry and Barry Keoghan also starring.

On television, Lisa McGee's How to Get to Heaven From Belfast follows three friends investigating a death, featuring Saoirse-Monica Jackson. Dark Winds season 4 centers on Navajo police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) protecting a runaway teen from an assassin amid a boarding school's secrets. The Australian series The Artful Dodger season two explores the character's life as a surgeon haunted by his past.

Reality TV offers Love Is Blind season 10, set in Ohio with participants mostly in their 30s. Streaming additions include Eternity, where Elizabeth Olsen's Joan chooses between husbands played by Miles Teller and Callum Turner, and Song Sung Blue, with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as a Neil Diamond cover band couple facing drama.

For Wuthering Heights fans, Vulture suggests companion viewings: William Wyler's version with Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier, Andrea Arnold's 2011 film starring Kaya Scodelario and James Howson, and a PBS adaptation with Tom Hardy. Additional streams feature Marty Supreme on VOD, Predator: Badlands on Hulu, and Good Fortune on Starz.
