If you fell for the sun‑kissed intimacy of Luca Guadagnino’s *Call Me by Your Name*, you’ll find a quartet of titles that each capture a different shade of that longing. From the freshly minted *Jane Austen Wrecked My Life*—a modern literary romance that swaps Italian villas for Parisian cafés—to Bradley Cooper’s *Is This Thing On?*, a New York‑sized comedy‑drama that dissects love after the honeymoon, the list continues with the summer‑trip rom‑com *People We Meet on Vacation*, a fan‑favorite that mirrors the seasonal yearning of the original, and finally the breezy Greek escapade *F Valentine’s Day*, a guaranteed crowd‑pleaser that trades melancholy for mischievous holiday hijinks.
Together these selections map a spectrum: a new‑release that feels like a literary sequel, a beloved audience favorite that re‑imagines relational turbulence, the most semantically aligned story that still feels fresh, and a safe‑bet comedy that keeps the romance alive in a sun‑lit setting.
