Valentine's Day is fast approaching but there's no need to worry about how to celebrate. The holiday falls on a Friday this year and with that comes some new movie releases.

Whether you're celebrating with a loved one, friends or family, going to the movies is a great way to get out of the house and spend time with those closest to you. Make sure to buy tickets online early if you can, unless of course you like being in the front row, then by all means procrastinate.

Wondering what to see? Well, here are five movies to watch in theatres for Valentine's Day 2020:

1. "The Photograph"

When famed photographer Christina Eames dies unexpectedly, she leaves her estranged daughter, Mae (Issa Rae), hurt, angry and full of questions. When Mae finds a photograph tucked away in a safe-deposit box, she soon finds herself delving into her mother's early life -- an investigation that leads to an unexpected romance with a rising journalist.

2. "Fantasy Island"

Nothing like a good suspense movie to make your Valentine want to snuggle up in your arms. In "Fantasy Island," Mr. Roarke (Michael Peña) makes the secret dreams of his lucky guests come true at a luxurious but remote tropical resort, but when the fantasies turn into nightmares, the guests have to solve the island's mystery in order to escape with their lives.

3. "What About Love"

It's all about the love on Valentine's Day, so it only makes sense to go see a love story. Two young lovers change the lives of their parents forever when the parents learn from the joyful experience of their kids and allow themselves to fall in love again.

4. "Sonic the Hedgehog"

The little ones in your life deserve to enjoy the holiday of love too, right? Children in tow or not, this fantasy sci-fi movie shouldn't disappoint. Watch as Sonic navigates life on Earth while trying to avoid being captured by the evil Dr. Robotnik.

5. "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)"

This "Suicide Squad" spinoff actually hit theaters on Feb. 7 but if you don't see the highly-anticipated film earlier, it's a good option. Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), fresh off a breakup from the Joker, teams up with superheroes to save a young girl from a Gotham City crime lord.
