It’s raining, you’re sick, you just got dumped…you name it, for whatever reason you’re indoors, trolling aimlessly through your streaming accounts feeling, once again, despite the endless amounts of films quite literally at your fingertips, like there is nothing to watch.

Its a common problem, I’m not judging you for it. However, while you keep saying, “No,” “Meh,” and “Ugh, not again,” to all of your favorite, but kind of tired, romantic classics, have you ever considered watching an indie film instead? Believe it or not, there are tons, literally thousands — of equally awesome if not better — films that were never once advertised to you because well, they never made it to the big screen. And while they may not have the star-studded acclaim of an A-list movie, they might just charm your heart all the same.

1. TiMER

Imagine how amazing it would be to know, with a 98% accuracy, how much time, to the exact millisecond, was left until you meet your soulmate. Such is the reality in this 2009 science fiction romcom by Jac Shaeffer, where TiMER, a corporation specializing in a revolutionary matchmaking device, offers to equip anyone with a timer that counts down to the exact point in time when a customer will meet his or her one true love. However, Oona, the film’s protagonist, has a major problem: her timer is blank, and no matter how many timerless boyfriends get thier timer installed at her request, her timer remains blank. As Oona struggles with the idea that her soulmate may never appear, while simultaneously falling for a timerless, carefree, and much younger store clerk named Mikey, you are left questioning whether it is better to know exactly when to love or just to accept what you feel at the time and run with it.

7. Two Night Stand

While Kevin spirals into a damaging, depressive wormhole, Beth becomes overly stressed with planning her upcoming nuptials to Andrew all by herself, and Sarah must confront her own shortcomings before she breaks yet another heart. Save the Date does a great job of bringing to life both the beautiful and the destructive aspects of young love in an incredibly funny and realistic way that makes it more than worthwhile to watch.

11. Carolina

They say you save the best for last. In this glorious 2005 romantic comedy that was sidelined by bureaucratic nonsense, Carolina struggles with the drama that surrounds her abnormally wild and eccentric family as she tries to wedge even the tiniest bit of normalcy for herself. However, that can be hard to do with her middle sister, Georgia, returning home pregnant, baby sister, Maine, passionately riding a wooden horse to gain insight into the numbers for the lottery, and Grandma Mirabeau locking herself in the dressing room of the local retail store in order to get a discounted DVD player. Accompanied by her best friend, the secret writer of Grandma Mirabeau’s favorite smut novels, Albert Morris, Carolina desperately searches for love in all the wrong, albeit normal, places perhaps at the cost of losing the love of her life that has been smack dab in the middle of all the crazy created by her family, the whole time.

Whether it be on rainy days, late-nights-in, or just because, having a good romance that pays more attention to the acting and story line than to acquiring a star-studded cast, can be utterly refreshing and it can be found online for less than your morning latte if you know where to look. So after you have laughed so hard that you’ve cried or cried so hard that you’ve laughed, you can sit back and remind yourself that these 11 films were all films you had never heard of, and hopefully be glad that you found them.
