Below are four Valentine’s Day cinematic highlights – all with tickets still available at the time of writing:

  • To Have and Have Not at BFI Southbank
    Bacall and Bogart star in this romantic war-time classic, loosely based on Hemingway’s novel of the same name. Bacall’s first film is worth it for her most famous line alone: “You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve…?” 8.45pm.
    BFI Southbank, SE1 8XT

  • Harold and Maude at Rio Dalston
    An alternative Valentine’s Day treat, Hal Ashby‘s 1971 classic is the story of Harold, 20 and Maude, 79 to a soundtrack by Cat Stevens. Intriguing, surprising and unforgettable. 6.45pm
    Rio Dalston    , E8 2PB

  • Breakfast at Tiffany’s at Riverside Studios
    Love it or loathe it, nothing quite says romance like Blake Edwards‘ Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The Riverside Studios are also providing a three-course Valentine’s Day meal, plus a glass of prosecco and a ticket to either screening for £35. How can you say no to Audrey Hepburn and a glass of something sparkly? 6.30pm and 8.50pm
    Riverside Studios    , W6 9RL

  • Romeo + Juliet at The Round Chapel
    See Baz Lurhmann’s Romeo + Juliet in the atmospheric surroundings of The Round Chapel, Hackney. Teenage angst has never looked so good. The bar is open from 7pm, and the film starts at 8pm.
