On the most romantic day of the year, well at least according to Hallmark, it is only fitting to go through some of the most romantic movies of our time.  Listing off some of these genre specific movies is something I constantly find myself doing especially since its fairly appropriate on themed days. This being Valentines Day makes me think of movies I’d bust out on a date. Though plenty of romantic all-timers might immediately come to your mind (i.e When Harry Met Sally, Gone With the Wind), those really do not come to mine.

Perhaps I am stuck in a different generation that thinks of modern day beauties (i.e. Keira Knightley), over-watched love stories that have come out in the past 1o years, 80′s movies that are a good watch each time they are on TV, and recent romantic comedies that are pure feel-good watches.   No, I am not thinking of tacky teen movies like “She’s All That” or “10 Things I Hate About You (RIP Heath Ledger),” no offense if you are into those, but there are others that just come to mind.

Here are 5 of some of the more romantic Valentines Day appropriate movies. These are in any order.

1. Love Actually - this movie is awesome – if you think otherwise you are lying to yourself

2. The Notebook – I’ve never seen it, but from word of mouth alone this movie screams Valentines Day. One of these days I’ll have to sack up and watch it.

3. Sixteen Candles/Pretty in Pink - take your pick, 80′s classics that will never get old

4. Say Anything -this movie made John Cusack a star. Lloyd Dobler holding up that boom box and blasting “In Your Eyes” is among the best scenes from any movie.

5. Hitch – all of my friends love this movie. This movie is the guys romantic movie and is a pure feel-good watch.

What movies do you throw in on Valentines Day?
