June is a fabulous month. School’s out, the weather is beautiful, and summer is at hand. It’s also considered one of the most romantic months of the year. Juno is the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth. The belief that Juno would bless unions in June caused many couples to select June as their wedding month.
It’s wedding season and Pride Month. Also, Loving Day (June 12th) commemorates the 1967 Supreme Court decision that made interracial marriage legal in the United States.
In honor of this romantic month, we’ve selected ten movies or TV series to stream with various themes about love.
Streaming information is subject to change at any time.
Enjoy!
