16 OF THE SPRING ROMANCE MOVIES YOU MAY WANT TO SEE
If I had to guess, I’d say I’m pretty much the only person who enjoys seasonal film lists. It’s kind of like our seasonal TBR lists. I rarely apply my list to my own reading, but oddly, I still have fun with it. Looking back, last time I created a spring romance movies list was in 2020, so why not try to put one together again in the year 2022? It may be much slimmer pickings, but hey, we’ll still roll with it.

16 OF THE SPRING ROMANCE MOVIES YOU MAY WANT TO SEE Share on XFinding movies that fit this is rough because honestly while I have seen several of these, I cannot remember specifics about whether or not they’re set during spring. Nonetheless they have a kind of spring time appeal whether it’s because of the setting or because of the messaging about starting over. Always feels like a spring lesson, right? Let’s read through these – and I want to know, how many have you seen?
PS; if you think any are missing, check out our 2020 Spring Romance Movies list, you just may find them there.
SPRING ROMANCE MOVIES 2022
10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU
When I had looked through my memory and archives, the Internet searches I did seems to like 10 Thinks I Hate About You as a good spring movie pick. I guess because part of the movie is about a school dance and prom? Either way, this Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger comedy has become a kind of cult classic that loosely retells Shakespeare.
Stream on Disney+ or Hulu; or digitally purchase the film on places like Prime Video
Synopsis: On the first day at his new school, Cameron instantly falls for Bianca the gorgeous girl of his dreams. – via Prime Video
27 DRESSES
This one probably isn’t set during the spring time, but it makes me think of that because of the wedding theme. Plus it’s just a really funny flick (following a woman who is always standing beside the bride, but never a bride) that makes me smile anytime I do watch it.
Stream on Disney+ or Hulu; or digitally purchase the film on places like Prime Video
Synopsis: Perennial bridesmaid Jane (Katherine Heigl) always puts the needs of others before her own, making her the go-to gal whenever someone needs help with wedding plans. – via Prime Video
AN HOUR BEHIND

EDGE of the GARDEN
I haven’t seen this one, but have heard of it, plus it just sounds charming if you like the whole break-the-era-barrier-love-story trope.
This one isn’t currently readily available to stream.
FINDING YOU
I don’t think this is a spring time film, but it’s set in Ireland and something about the place just makes me think of spring. The film is based on a novel titled There You’ll Find Me and tells the story of a girl trying to see Ireland through the eyes of her brother whom she lost. It’s not as powerful a story as the novel, but it’s still good.
Stream with Roku; or find to digitally purchase on places like Prime Video
Synopsis: An unlikely romance is sparked when an aspiring violinist encounters a heartthrob movie star filming his new fantasy-action film in an Irish coastal village. – via Prime Video
FIRST LOVE
An old film, 1939 in fact, I went through an era of watching classic films including multiple films with the once popular songbird Deanna Durbin. This title is a sweet first blush of love in a kind of Cinderella story. It’s charming and feels really nice as a spring kind of romance.
Search Amazon for DVD copies
Synopsis: A young orphan named Connie (Durbin) returns to live with her wealthy uncle (Eugene Pallette) and his snobbish family in New York after finishing her school. The story follows the magical scenes of Cinderella, including a jealous debutante cousin (Helen Parrish), a grand ball, a handsome love interest, and even a beautiful gown. – via Amazon
LIFE or SOMETHING LIKE IT
I automatically just think of spring with this one for two reasons. The first being its message of “waking up” and living, and the second being there are a few baseball themes. Yes I know baseball isn’t primarily a spring sport, but for some reason that’s where I put it. Probably because that it where it gets started.
Stream on Prime Video or Tubi; or digitally purchase on places like Prime Video
Synopsis: A reporter is spurred to action to change her life after she interviews a psychic homeless man who tells her that her life has no meaning and will end in a few days. – via Prime Video
THE MAGIC of ORDINARY DAYS
Don’t think this one is spring exclusive, but the promo material just makes me think of spring. Plus it’s a pretty love story about a woman who gets herself into trouble and must enter a marriage of convenience to hide the embarrassment. spring romance movies 2022
Stream with Hallmark+; or digitally purchase this film with Prime Video
Synopsis: Pregnant out of wedlock, an educated young woman is pressured by her father into an arranged marriage with a lonely farmer in this drama set during WWII. – via Hallmark+
THE MAP of TINY PERFECT THINGS
Based on a short story, this is an Amazon original that I only recently (and finally) watched. It follows two teens stuck in the same day time loop. The film is fun and colorful, and also just feels “spring like” with its messages of having to start again in grief.
Stream on Prime Video
Synopsis: Quick-witted teen Mark (Kyle Allen) is contentedly living the same day in an endless loop when his world is turned upside-down by the mysterious Margaret (Kathryn Newton), also stuck in the same loop. What follows is a love story with a fantastical twist, as the two struggle to figure out how – and whether – to escape their never-ending day. – via Prime Video
NOT SINCE YOU
No idea the season this is set in, but again, the wedding event central to the plot just makes me think of spring. Plus, while there is some sappy moments, this film REALLY impresses me with the “I choose you” moment, and it also makes me happy. The film follows a group of friends who reunite for the wedding of a mutual friend, and the many complications this day stirs up.
Plus, fans of TV shows like Leverage get to see Christian Kane and then Blue Bloods fans will see Will Estes.
Stream on Plex, Roku or Tubi; or find to stream or digitally purchase on Prime Video
Synopsis: A romantic drama about a tight-knit group of college friends who graduated from NYU and reunite years later for a weekend wedding in Georgia. – via Prime Video
PETER RABBIT 2: THE RUNAWAY
Ok, so not a romance per se, but you know, if you have kids (or if you just want to be a kid for the night), these live-action Peter Rabbit movies are fun. They have an impressive vocal line up and in this one, Peter goes… bad?
Digitally purchase this film on Prime Video
Synopsis: Peter Rabbit, the lovable rogue is back with all of his friends in a hilarious, all-new, out-of-the-garden adventure! – via Prime Video
RETURN to ME
An extremely charming and sweet story, Minnie Driver co-stars as a woman who meets someone and falls in love for the first time only to later discover a soul crushing secret that makes it impossible to stay.

Recently just watched this one. It’s not a romance movie but there are elements of love, and some sense of romance in the tragic figure of a man lost in the aftermath of death. Plus, this version of the classic story just comes off a bit different than most. It doesn’t have quite the same wonderment from Mary’s perspective, and instead focuses more on the characters. spring romance movies 2022

Synopsis: Adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved story about Mary Lennox, a troubled, sickly, orphaned to live with an uncle after her parents have died in a cholera outbreak in India. – via Prime Video
SPRING PARADE
Speaking of Deanna Durbin, she stars in this 1940 film, and it’s one I didn’t know even existed. Funny for someone who has seen most of her films! I don’t know that you can see this one anywhere readily unless it’s a poor quality version on somewhere like Youtube. But the film follows Durbin’s character as a woman who has a fortune told that she’ll marry. Her co-star from other titles, Robert Cummings is also her co-star here.
At present, this film isn’t available to stream or find easily.
TUCK EVERLASTING
I haven’t see this one, but same as goes for ‘10 Things,’ the Interwebs tells me people like this film as a spring title. It does look really pretty, but honestly, isn’t it a sad story? I feel like I read a spoiler a while back and I just wasn’t OK with it. Gilmore Girls’ Alexis Bledel stars in this Disney film.
Stream on Disney+; or digitally purchase on places like Prime Video
Synopsis: A young woman meets and falls in love with a young man who is part of a family of immortals. – via Prime Video

The Magic of Ordinary Days is a long time favorite of mine. I even bought the DVD. I also absolutely adore Return to Me.
I still own most if not all of my Hallmark Hall of Fame DVDs. I have one or two for sale but the bulk I cannot part with. They’re all the nostalgic memories. :)
