Heartive: find the films and series you will love

The header

At the top of every page sits the Heartive header. In the centre, the logo shows a rose-red heart with a small play button cut into it, followed by the name in lowercase serif letters and a peach dot above the last letter, like a wink.

On the right, a rounded search box with a round rose button waits for a title or an actor. Beneath the logo, the menu sits inside a white pill with a soft pink border: Home, Movies, Series, Moods, K-drama, Most loved and My List, each a rounded button of its own. The page you are on is filled in rose with white letters.

On a phone, the menu folds into a rose Menu button on the left, the logo stays in the centre, and the search box moves onto its own row beneath them, wide enough to use comfortably with a thumb.

Match of the day

The home page opens with the Match of the day. A small rose heart and the words Match of the day sit above the Heartive headline, set large in the rounded serif, with a short paragraph that explains the idea and a row of rounded chips for Love stories, Comedy, Feel-good, K-drama, Most loved and My List.

On the right, a deck of posters rests at a slight tilt, as if dealt onto a table. Two posters peek out from behind, and the top card sits on a white panel with rounded corners: the poster, the title in serif, the year and genres, a row of hearts for the score, a few lines of story, a rose Watch now button and an outlined More button.

At the moment the match is La La Land, Damien Chazelle's musical love story, with Crash Landing on You and About Time waiting in the deck behind it.

The hearts

Every title on Heartive shows its score as a row of five hearts. The hearts fill in rose from left to right according to the TMDB audience score, so a title rated eight out of ten shows four full hearts, and the exact number sits beside them.

The hearts appear on the Match of the day, on every poster card, on the love meter and on the title pages, so you can compare titles at a glance wherever you are on the site.

Scores come from audiences around the world and settle as more people watch. The most loved titles gather on the Most loved page.

Up next

Under the Match of the day, a row of small cards shows what else is in the deck: each has a small poster, the title in bold and a line that says whether it is a film or a series.

At the moment the row shows Crash Landing on You, About Time, Pride & Prejudice, Ted Lasso, Coco, The Notebook and What's Wrong with Secretary Kim.

Together these eight titles are a sampler of Heartive: romance, comedy, K-drama, animation and a feel-good series, each one loved by audiences.

What's your mood?

The first section of the home page asks What's your mood? and answers with eight colourful tiles in rounded frames. Each tile has its own colour: rose for Fall in love, orange for Laugh out loud, mint for Feel good, deep plum for Edge of your seat, blue for Big adventure, violet for K-drama crush, amber for Binge a series and pink for Sing along.

In the top corner of each tile, three small posters fan out like a hand of cards, showing the most popular titles in that mood. At the bottom, the mood's name appears in serif type with the number of titles beneath it.

Hovering over a tile straightens the fanned posters; tapping opens the full mood shelf. On a phone the tiles line up two across.

The poster rows

After the moods come four poster rows, each with a serif heading and a See all link: Most loved right now, Love stories, K-drama crushes and Series to binge.

Each row shows six posters with generously rounded corners and a soft shadow. Series carry a small white badge in the top corner that reads Series. Beneath each poster, the title appears in bold, with the year on the left and the hearts on the right.

Hovering over a poster enlarges the image slightly. The See all link opens the full shelf, where the same cards fill a grid.

The love meter

The love meter lists the ten most loved titles on Heartive in two columns. Each entry sits in a white rounded panel with its rank in large rose serif numerals, a small poster, the title, the year and type, and a row of hearts on the right.

Only titles with at least five hundred votes enter the meter, so it reflects the verdict of large audiences. Films and series compete on equal terms, which is why Crash Landing on You can sit beside Forrest Gump and Coco.

A link at the top right opens the full Most loved page, with the top one hundred titles in order.

Shelves and help

Near the foot of the home page, every shelf on Heartive appears as a rounded pill with a small count beside it: Love stories, Laugh out loud, Feel-good, Edge of your seat, Big adventure, Fairy tales and fantasy, Music and musicals, Something scary, K-drama, Series to binge, New this year and Before 2000.

Below the shelves, a grid of white cards gathers the help pages, each with a title in serif and a one-line summary: how to watch, choosing by mood, date night picks, K-drama, love stories, series, subtitles and more.

The footer closes every page on a deep plum panel with rounded top corners, the logo in white, the tagline in peach and the main links.

The title page

Every film and series has its own page. At the top, the poster sits beside the title, the original title and a row of small tags for the type, the year, the runtime and the genres, followed by a few lines of story, the rose Watch now button and an Add to My List button.

Below, a panel titled Where to watch explains the viewing options, and a grid of facts lists the original title, the release date, the original language, the country, the runtime and the studio. The cast follows with photographs, then titles you may also love.

Series pages add a list of seasons, each opening to its episodes with their titles and air dates, so you can see how long a series runs before you start.

The Watch now button

The Watch now button is how you go from Heartive to your screen. Press it on any title page and the viewing panel opens, with a menu of countries and a second Watch now button.

Pick your country, press the rose button, and Heartive hands you over to JustWatch, which follows every streaming service country by country. Its page for the title shows the subscriptions that include it, the shops that rent or sell it, and any free services with adverts that carry it.

From JustWatch, one more tap opens the title in the service's own app or website, where it plays in the best quality your plan and device support.

Choosing your country

Streaming rights differ from country to country, so a film may be on Netflix in one place and on Prime Video or Hulu in another. Heartive asks for your viewing country once and remembers it for every title.

The United States comes first, followed by Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the Philippines, India, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, South Korea and several European and Latin American countries.

If you travel, change the country from the viewing panel at any time, and every Watch now button follows the new choice.

Search

The search box reads titles, original titles and cast, and suggests matches as you type. Type Ryan Gosling to find La La Land, Blade Runner 2049 and The Fall Guy together, or Hyun Bin for Crash Landing on You.

The full search page adds filters for genre, year, language and rating, and orders results by popularity, score or date.

For open-ended browsing, the genres, years and A-Z pages cover the whole catalogue.

Fall in love

The Fall in love shelf gathers the love stories on Heartive, and it is the heart of the site. Some are grand and sweeping, some quiet and tender, and some make you laugh as much as they make you sigh.

Pride & Prejudice brings Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy to misty English fields, and The Notebook tells a love story that spans a lifetime. Titanic set a romance aboard the most famous ship in history and became one of the most watched films ever made.

More recent favourites include About Time, where a young man discovers he can travel in time and learns what matters most, and Me Before You, a story of an unexpected bond that has moved audiences to tears.

Love in music

Some of the most loved romances on Heartive are told through music. La La Land follows a jazz pianist and an actress chasing their dreams in Los Angeles, with songs and dances that pay tribute to the golden age of Hollywood musicals.

A Star Is Born tells the story of a seasoned musician who discovers a young singer, with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper performing every song live. Wicked brings the stage musical to the screen, a story of friendship and love in the Land of Oz.

These films are on the Sing along shelf too, beside Coco and KPop Demon Hunters, and they sound wonderful with the volume turned up.

Romantic comedy

Romantic comedy has a long and happy history, and Heartive gathers its best. You've Got Mail pairs Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan as rival booksellers who fall for each other online, and The Proposal sends Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds to Alaska for a pretend engagement.

Groundhog Day traps Bill Murray in the same day over and over until he learns to love it, and Practical Magic follows two witch sisters looking for love in spite of a family curse.

The Fall Guy mixes romance with stunts, as a stuntman tries to win back the director he loves, and The Parent Trap is a family favourite with a romantic twist.

Fairy tales and fantasy

Fairy tales have always been love stories at heart. Disney's Beauty and the Beast of 1991 was the first animated film nominated for Best Picture, and Beauty and the Beast of 2017 retold it with Emma Watson as Belle.

Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog and The Little Mermaid carry the tradition forward, and Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands and Corpse Bride offer gothic fairy tales of their own.

Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon brought vampire romance to a new generation, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 continued the saga.

Love stories that stay with you

Some love stories stay with you long after the credits. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind imagines a couple who erase each other from memory, and Call Me by Your Name tells of a summer romance in the Italian countryside.

Little Women follows the four March sisters as they grow up and find their way in love and life, and Forrest Gump carries a lifelong love for Jenny through decades of American history.

Bridge to Terabithia is a story of friendship that has moved families for years. Keep tissues nearby for all of these.

Laugh out loud

The Laugh out loud shelf gathers comedies to share. Animated favourites such as Shrek, Shrek 2, Despicable Me and The Super Mario Bros. Movie are as funny for grown-ups as for children.

The Mask made Jim Carrey a star with his rubber-faced comedy, and Deadpool & Wolverine offers comedy for grown-ups, with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman trading insults across the multiverse.

New arrivals such as Coyote vs. Acme and A Minecraft Movie bring fresh laughs, and Scary Movie returns for a new round of parody.

Feel good

The Feel good shelf gathers family favourites and animation. Pixar leads with Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., WALL·E, Inside Out, Inside Out 2 and Coco.

DreamWorks adds The Wild Robot and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Disney adds The Lion King, Moana 2 and Big Hero 6, and Laika's Coraline is a stop-motion adventure with a spooky edge.

These films suit every age, and many carry messages about family, friendship and courage that grown-ups appreciate as much as children do.

Edge of your seat

The Edge of your seat shelf gathers thrillers, mysteries and crime. Gone Girl turns a missing-person case into a portrait of a marriage, and The Housemaid traps a young woman in a household full of secrets.

The Batman and Joker explore Gotham from opposite sides, and The Dark Knight Rises closes Christopher Nolan's trilogy. The Maze Runner traps its heroes in a shifting labyrinth.

For a brave night in, the Something scary shelf adds horror such as The Conjuring and Evil Dead Burn. Watch these with the lights on, or with someone close.

Big adventure

The Big adventure shelf gathers adventure and science fiction. Interstellar sends a crew through a wormhole to find a new home for humanity, and Dune: Part Two follows Paul Atreides across the desert planet Arrakis.

Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: No Way Home are among the biggest superhero films of all time, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is one of the most inventive animated films ever made.

Avatar: The Way of Water, Top Gun: Maverick and Mad Max: Fury Road are spectacles that reward a large screen, and The Gorge adds a love story to its action.

New this year

The New this year shelf gathers films and series from 2025 onward. Superman, Jurassic World Rebirth, Zootopia 2 and Avatar: Fire and Ash were among the big releases of 2025.

2026 brings Toy Story 5, Project Hail Mary, The Odyssey, Michael and The Drama, a new romantic comedy.

New films usually reach rental a few weeks after their cinema run and subscription services a few months later. The Watch now button shows each stage for your country.

Before 2000

The Before 2000 shelf gathers favourites from earlier decades. Titanic, Forrest Gump, Groundhog Day and The Lion King are as loved today as when they were new.

Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Edward Scissorhands, The Mask, You've Got Mail, The Parent Trap and Practical Magic complete a warm and varied shelf.

Many of these films have been restored for HD and 4K, so they look better today than they did on their first release.

K-drama crush

Korean dramas have won hearts around the world, and Heartive gives them a mood of their own. A K-drama usually tells one complete story in about sixteen episodes, with rich characters, beautiful settings and a love story that builds slowly and surely.

The K-drama shelf gathers romance, heart-warming family stories, fantasy and action, all from Korea, with subtitles in many languages on the services that carry them.

The K-drama guide suggests where to start, and the subtitles guide explains how to turn subtitles on.

Crash Landing on You

Crash Landing on You is one of the most loved K-dramas ever made. A South Korean heiress is swept across the border by a paragliding accident and lands in the arms of a North Korean army officer, who hides her while they plan her return.

The series mixes romance, comedy and suspense, with Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin in the lead roles and a supporting cast of soldiers and villagers that audiences adore.

It is a perfect first K-drama: sixteen episodes, a complete story and a love story that keeps you watching late into the night.

Romance in Korea

What's Wrong with Secretary Kim follows a perfect secretary who announces she is leaving her self-absorbed boss, who then sets out to win her back. It is light, funny and full of charm.

True Beauty follows a high-school student who hides behind her make-up skills, and Guardian: The Lonely and Great God tells of an immortal goblin searching for the bride who can end his life, with a love story that spans centuries.

Perfect Crown and Tale of the Nine Tailed offer romance with a twist of history and folklore.

Heart-warming drama

Some K-dramas are loved for their warmth. When Life Gives You Tangerines follows a couple across a lifetime on the island of Jeju, and it has moved viewers in many countries.

Hospital Playlist follows five doctors who have been friends since medical school, and who still play in a band together. It is gentle, funny and full of heart.

Mr. Sunshine is a sweeping historical drama set in Korea at the turn of the twentieth century, with a love story at its core.

Fantasy and folklore

Alchemy of Souls is set in a fantasy kingdom where magicians can swap souls, and it builds a rich world over two seasons.

The Uncanny Counter follows a team of demon hunters who work from a noodle shop, and Tale of the Nine Tailed brings the fox spirit of Korean legend into modern Seoul.

These series mix romance with action and folklore, and they are a delight for anyone who enjoys a touch of magic.

Action and suspense from Korea

Squid Game became a global phenomenon, following hundreds of indebted players who compete in deadly children's games for a fortune.

Taxi Driver follows a taxi company that takes revenge for victims the law has failed, Bloodhounds follows two young boxers who take on loan sharks, and A Shop for Killers follows a young woman who inherits her uncle's very unusual business.

All of Us Are Dead traps a high school in a zombie outbreak, Weak Hero follows a quiet student who fights back against bullies, and Big Mouth follows a struggling lawyer drawn into a conspiracy.

Binge a series

The Binge a series shelf gathers English-language series. Some are feel-good, some are gripping, and many run for several seasons, so there is always another episode waiting.

Each series page lists every season and episode with its air date, and the Watch now button covers the whole series.

The series guide suggests where to start, and My List keeps track of the series you want to try.

Ted Lasso

Ted Lasso is one of the warmest series on Heartive. An American college football coach is hired to manage an English football team, with only the faintest idea of how the sport works.

What he lacks in knowledge he makes up for in kindness, and his optimism slowly changes everyone around him. The series is funny, moving and full of memorable characters.

It is the perfect series for an evening when you need cheering up.

Comfort series

Some series are comfort viewing. Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows the detectives of a New York police precinct in a comedy full of running jokes, and Young Sheldon follows the childhood of a young genius in 1980s Texas.

This Is Us follows a family across several decades, moving between past and present in a series that has made many viewers cry happy tears.

The Good Doctor follows a young surgeon with autism, and Elementary brings Sherlock Holmes to modern New York.

Romance in series

Outlander follows a nurse from 1945 who is swept back in time to eighteenth-century Scotland, where she falls in love with a Highland warrior. It is one of the great romantic series of the last decade.

Riverdale mixes teen romance with mystery in a small town, and Lucifer pairs the devil himself with a police detective in Los Angeles.

These series combine love stories with adventure, mystery and a touch of the supernatural.

Drama and westerns

Yellowstone follows the Dutton family and their vast Montana ranch, with sweeping landscapes and family feuds. Tulsa King sends a New York mobster to Oklahoma.

Peaky Blinders follows a Birmingham gang after the First World War, Better Call Saul follows a lawyer's slow transformation, and Fargo tells a new crime story in each season.

These are series to settle into over several weeks, with characters who stay with you.

Thrills and mysteries

Stranger Things mixes 1980s adventure and horror in a small Indiana town, and FROM traps its visitors in a mysterious town that holds on to everyone who arrives.

Silo follows the last survivors of humanity in a giant underground silo, Reacher follows a former military policeman who solves crimes with his fists and his wits, and Lioness follows an undercover operative.

Emergency-service dramas such as 9-1-1, Chicago Fire and The Rookie offer weekly thrills with warm, close-knit casts.

Fantasy series

House of the Dragon returns to Westeros for a war of succession between dragon riders, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power explores Middle-earth thousands of years before the films.

Loki, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and DC's Legends of Tomorrow extend the worlds of Marvel and DC, and The Expanse is a science fiction series of real ambition.

Vikings follows the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok on raids across the North Sea.

Date night

Heartive was made with date nights in mind. The Fall in love mood is the obvious place to start, but the best date-night film is often one that suits you both: a comedy you can laugh at together, a musical you can hum on the way to bed, or a thriller that makes you hold hands.

For a first date night in, try La La Land, About Time or You've Got Mail. For a cosy evening, Pride & Prejudice or The Notebook. For something with a twist, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or The Gorge.

The date night guide has more ideas, and My List makes it easy to keep a shared shortlist.

A series for two

A series can be a lovely thing to share, one episode an evening. K-dramas are ideal: Crash Landing on You and What's Wrong with Secretary Kim each tell a complete love story in sixteen episodes.

Outlander offers romance on a grand scale, and Ted Lasso offers laughter and warmth for any evening.

Agree on one series together, and keep watching it only when you are both on the sofa. It makes each episode something to look forward to.

Family evenings

For family evenings, the Feel good mood is the place to start. Pixar, DreamWorks and Disney films suit every age, and the title page shows the runtime so you can pick something that finishes before bedtime.

Coco, The Wild Robot, Inside Out 2 and Moana 2 are recent favourites, while The Lion King, Toy Story and Finding Nemo are classics that parents enjoy sharing with their children.

Services add their own age ratings and parental controls, which you can set in each app's profile settings.

Watching with friends

Some titles are made for watching with friends. Musicals such as Wicked and KPop Demon Hunters invite singing along, and comedies such as The Proposal and The Mask get funnier with a crowd.

For a scary night in, The Conjuring is a favourite, and for a thriller that sparks a long conversation afterwards, try Gone Girl.

Keep a separate My List for group nights, so the choice is ready when everyone arrives.

Subtitles and audio

Every major service includes subtitles in several languages. Open the speech-bubble or audio menu in the player to choose a language and, in most apps, the size and colour of the text.

K-dramas such as Crash Landing on You and Squid Game play in Korean with subtitles, and some services add dubbed versions. Many fans prefer the original voices, which keep the actors' performances intact.

Many services also add audio description tracks. The subtitles guide explains the options.

Picture quality

Services stream in HD at 720p or 1080p, and many titles in 4K with HDR on premium plans, adjusting quality to match your connection.

Colourful films such as La La Land, Coco and Wicked look especially lovely with HDR, and a Movie or Filmmaker picture mode on your television shows colours as their makers intended.

The picture quality guide explains more.

Phones and televisions

Heartive works in any browser. On a phone the menu folds into a rose Menu button, the mood tiles line up two across and the Match of the day becomes a compact card.

To watch on a television, choose a title on your phone and open it in the same service's app on the television, or cast it with Chromecast or AirPlay.

Add Heartive to your home screen from the browser menu for one-tap access. The apps and devices guide has more.

Where to watch

Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Max, Hulu, Apple TV, Paramount+ and Peacock carry most of the titles on Heartive. Netflix and Viki carry many Korean series.

New releases arrive first on rental and purchase services, such as Apple TV, Google TV, Prime Video and Fandango at Home.

The Watch now button lists every option for your country on one page. The guide to services compares them.

Free and legal

Many films and series can be watched free and legally. Tubi, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, Plex and YouTube's free films carry large catalogues with adverts.

Kanopy and Hoopla give many library members free access, and many subscription services offer a free first week or month.

The Watch now button marks free options for your country. The free and legal guide gathers more.

My List

My List is where you keep the titles you love or want to try. Press Add to My List on any title page, and it joins the My List page with its poster and hearts.

Use it for date nights, family evenings, K-drama weekends or a list of comfort films for difficult days.

The list lives in your browser and works right away. Export My List saves a small file; Import a saved copy merges it on another device. The My List guide has ideas.

More ways to browse

Beyond the home page, Heartive offers several ways to browse. The films and series lists hold every title, most popular first, and the moods page gathers every shelf.

The moods guide explains each mood, the love stories guide takes a tour through the decades, and the finding titles guide explains search and filters.

The how to watch guide walks through each step from the poster to the player.

The official Heartive

Heartive has one fixed address, shown in your browser, and its own design, writing and title pages: the blush page, the heart-play logo, the Match of the day deck and the mood tiles.

Bookmark it or add it to your home screen, and it opens with your country and My List in place. Every Watch now button leads to JustWatch and official services.

The official site and site status guides explain what to check.

Staying safe

Heartive shows posters, stories and links to JustWatch and official services, and every button goes exactly where its label says.

Official services keep your devices safe and support the people who make the films and series you love. Keep your browser and devices updated for security fixes and better playback.

Elsewhere, leave pages that open windows on their own, ask you to install a player or ask for card details to watch something free. The safety guide has a short checklist.

How titles are chosen

The Heartive catalogue is built from the titles audiences watch and love most: popular films of recent years, love stories and comedies from every decade, family favourites, English-language series and the most loved Korean dramas.

Titles are grouped by mood rather than by strict genre, so a film can appear in more than one mood when it fits.

Heartive is a site for a general audience. Titles sold on explicit sexual content are left out, so every mood is comfortable to browse with anyone nearby.

Where the information comes from

Posters, backdrops, titles, stories, genres, runtimes, casts, episodes and audience scores come from TMDB, the community film and television database used around the world.

Where to watch comes from JustWatch, updated daily for every country. The help pages and this guide are written for Heartive.

The catalogue is refreshed regularly, so new titles arrive and scores settle as votes come in.

Following a favourite actor

Following an actor through Heartive is a lovely way to find new favourites. Ryan Gosling moves from La La Land to Blade Runner 2049 and The Fall Guy; Sandra Bullock from The Proposal to Practical Magic; Tom Hanks from Forrest Gump to You've Got Mail and Toy Story.

Ryan Reynolds brings charm to The Proposal and chaos to Deadpool & Wolverine, and Rachel McAdams brings warmth to both The Notebook and About Time.

Each title page lists the principal cast, and every name leads to the actor's other titles on Heartive.

K-drama stars

K-drama fans often follow their favourite actors from series to series. Hyun Bin leads Crash Landing on You, Park Seo-joon leads What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, and Gong Yoo leads Guardian: The Lonely and Great God.

Lee Jong-suk stars in Big Mouth, Lee Min-ho in Perfect Crown, and Lee Dong-wook in Tale of the Nine Tailed.

Searching an actor's name gathers their series together, so one great performance can lead to a whole season of new favourites.

Comfort films

Everyone has films they return to on difficult days. Heartive is full of them: Groundhog Day, You've Got Mail, The Parent Trap and Practical Magic are warm, familiar and gently funny.

Animated films are comfort viewing for many grown-ups too: Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc. and WALL·E are as touching as they are funny.

Keep a comfort shelf in My List, so it is ready whenever you need it.

Films for every season

Some films suit a season. Autumn evenings call for Practical Magic, Corpse Bride and Coraline, with their witches, ghosts and cosy spookiness.

Winter suits Pride & Prejudice, Little Women and Edward Scissorhands, with its falling snow; summer suits Call Me by Your Name and Moana 2, with their sunlight and sea.

Spring is perfect for fresh starts, and About Time or La La Land fit the mood beautifully.

Marathons

Some sagas are made for a weekend marathon. The Twilight films, from Twilight to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, make a romantic weekend, and the Toy Story films, from Toy Story to Toy Story 3, make a family one.

For series, a K-drama such as Crash Landing on You fits a long weekend, while Outlander or This Is Us reward a few weeks of evenings.

Add the whole marathon to My List before you begin, and tick them off as you go.

Worth watching again

Many titles on Heartive reward a second viewing. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and About Time reveal new details once you know how they end, and La La Land hides its final surprise in plain sight.

Rewatching a favourite with someone seeing it for the first time is one of the joys of film: you get to see it fresh through their eyes.

Keep a small shelf of favourites in My List alongside the titles you are yet to discover.

Reading the hearts

The hearts on Heartive are a quick guide to how much audiences love a title. Four full hearts mean a score of eight out of ten, which puts a title among the most loved on the site.

The number of votes matters as much as the score. A title loved by tens of thousands of viewers has a very settled score; a new release may move as more people watch.

Hearts are a helpful guide rather than a final word, and some of the most delightful titles on Heartive sit just below the top.

Soundtracks to love

Music is part of what makes a love story unforgettable. The songs of La La Land and A Star Is Born became hits in their own right, and the score of Titanic is one of the best-known of all.

Coco and Moana 2 are full of songs children learn by heart, and KPop Demon Hunters brought K-pop to audiences everywhere.

K-drama soundtracks are loved too, and many fans listen to the songs of Crash Landing on You and Guardian: The Lonely and Great God long after the final episode.

From page to screen

Many of the love stories on Heartive began as books. Pride & Prejudice and Little Women adapt two of the most loved novels ever written, and The Notebook and Me Before You adapt modern bestsellers.

Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon adapt Stephenie Meyer's novels, Outlander adapts Diana Gabaldon's series, and Bridge to Terabithia adapts a classic children's book.

Reading the book before or after the film is a lovely way to spend more time with characters you love.

Directors of the heart

Some directors return to love stories again and again. Richard Curtis wrote and directed About Time, a gentle story about family and time, and Nora Ephron made You've Got Mail.

Damien Chazelle followed Whiplash with La La Land, and Greta Gerwig brought fresh energy to Little Women. Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands and Corpse Bride are love stories of a gothic kind.

The title page names each director, so following a filmmaker's work is only a tap away.

Love in animation

Animation holds some of the most touching love stories on Heartive. WALL·E tells of a small robot who falls for a sleek probe named EVE, told almost entirely in pictures, and Pixar brings the same feeling to Inside Out and Coco.

Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Princess and the Frog are fairy-tale romances with songs that audiences still sing, and Corpse Bride finds love beyond the grave.

These films suit the whole family, and grown-ups often find them the most moving of all.

Your first visit

If this is your first visit, start with the Match of the day, then pick one mood tile that suits your evening. Add two or three titles to My List as you browse, and choose one to watch tonight.

Next time, try a different mood, or follow an actor or director from a title you enjoyed. Before long, My List will hold a shelf of titles picked just for you.

The how to watch guide explains each step from the poster to the player.

Holiday evenings

Holidays are a wonderful time for a film with the people you love. Family favourites such as The Lion King, Moana 2 and Zootopia 2 suit a crowded living room, and classics such as Forrest Gump and Titanic suit a long, quiet evening.

For Valentine's Day, the Fall in love shelf has everything you need, from The Notebook to La La Land. For Halloween, the Something scary shelf and gentle spooky favourites such as Coraline and Corpse Bride set the mood.

Plan ahead with My List, and the evening's choice will be ready when everyone sits down.

Weekday evenings

On a busy weekday, a shorter title often fits best. The title page shows the runtime, so it is easy to find a film that finishes in time for bed, or a comedy series with half-hour episodes such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine or Young Sheldon.

K-dramas run about an hour an episode, which makes one episode a perfect weekday treat.

Save longer films and big sagas for the weekend, when there is time to settle in and enjoy them fully.

A site for film lovers

Heartive exists to help you find the films and series you will love, and to make each one easy to watch legally wherever you live.

Every mood on the site is an invitation: to fall in love, to laugh, to feel good, to be thrilled or simply to spend an evening with characters you adore.

Bookmark Heartive, build your list, and enjoy tonight's match.
