The Best Valentine's Day Movies

Happy Valentine's Day. I promised to do this yesterday but things just didn't work out that way so you're getting it today. Basically I'm just going to list what I think the best movies to watch with a significant other on this day are. There won't be much justification because, ya know, it's Valentine's Day and I got things to be doing other than blogging. So check out the list, go out and rent a couple and enjoy the one you love, and if you don't agree with my choices, put it in the comments section and we'll duke it out later. And if you don't have a significant other, well, watch Audition or American Psycho or something.

Okay, so here goes (in alphabetical order):

• 9 1/2 Weeks- After the kids have been put to bed of course


• American Pie- I've just always found something terribly sweet about this movie


• An Autumn Tale- Eric Rohmer's most romantic


• Annie Hall- Duh!


• Before Sunrise/Before Sunset- So intelligent, so beautiful


• Bridges of Madison County- Clint Eastwood can do just about anything


• Casablanca- Another duh!


• Catch and Release- This little gem slipped under the radar which is unfortunate because it is sweeter and more knowing about love and loss than almost all of Hollywood's romantic comedies


• Conversations With Other Women- A film that does split screen well


• The Cooler- Another underrated one. William H. Macy shines as always


• Dopamine- Love as science. A small Sundance treasure


• Fever Pitch- Nick Hornby meets the Farrelly Brothers, which means both sweet and hilarious


• Flirting With Disaster- Totally offbeat and hilarious in that David O. Russell way


• Hairspray- Because there's got to be a musical


• High Fidelity- Nick Hornby again


• Love, Ludlow- Another Sundance treasure


• Manhattan- See Annie Hall


• Moonstruck- One of the best romantic comedies ever made


• The Notebook- What can I say, it's infectious


• Officer and a Gentleman- Richard Gere and Debra Winger are a perfect match


• The Princess Bride- Fun for the whole family


• Say Anything- Cameron Crowe at his best


• Yes- So poetic. So erotic

Alright so I'm sure I've left many of your favourites out. Feel free to share them. And have a happy Valentine's Day

What strikes me is that almost all of these videos have that scene on the ice from Serendipity, which is maybe the only good scene in a truely awful movie.
