Fancy a good old cry, a good old laugh at your love life, or in the mood to be a hopeless romantic? We got you.

Whether your plans for Valentine's Day involve peacefully binge-watching your favourite rom-com, or arguing for hours on end with you other half about what exactly you're going to watch, Netflix may have just come up with the solution to end all problems.

Thank God for secret codes, right?

Ok, not-as-secret as they sound, they're actually a pretty handy and useful tool to use on the platform, and categorise all of the best romance movies into sections, so you can separate your Love Actually's from your To All The Boys I've Loved Before's and avoid any unwanted crying sessions if you're just looking for a good laugh.

It's actually super simple to use and anyone with an account can access them...

You'll need the URL http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre and then add one of the following codes at the end of it to get a unique sub-genre:

There's everything from Legally Blonde (is that even romance? we'll back it), to The Kissing Booth and La La Land, so there's no shortage of viewing for a back-to-back movie marathon, whether you're in a single, couple or somewhere in-between.

Happy Valentine's Day!
