The former One Direction star Harry Styles made his acting debut in the 2017 Christopher Nolan epic Dunkirk (which was available to stream on Netflix for a while). Dunkirk received critical acclaim, and Styles’ performance garnered positive reviews as well, marking his successful transition from music to acting.
Since his debut, Styles has also starred in the controversial Olivia Wilde drama Don’t Worry Darling. He portrayed Eros in Marvel’s Eternals and is expected to make his return sometime in the future of MCU. In 2022, Styles starred in the romantic drama My Policeman alongside The Crown actor Emma Corrin.
However, his personal favourite genre of films is far less intense than his debut film.
When it comes to matters of the heart, even global superstars like Styles are not immune to the charms of classic romantic cinema. He mentioned being a fan of The Notebook in particular.

The revelation that Styles has a penchant for love stories came as no surprise to his fans, as his music often explores themes of romance and relationships.
Styles particularly mentioned his love for Nicholas Sparks, whose novels have been adapted into several beloved movies. The singer confessed to having watched all the film adaptations of Sparks’ work “from beginning to end.” However, The Notebook holds a special place in his heart. Harry Styles said The Notebook is one film he “always circles back to”.
