The perfect love movie often sets the tone of a special occasion, whether you are spending a romantic evening with a special someone, enjoying a night in with friends, or embracing some quality alone time.
Without further ado, I would like to recommend ten movies for your Valentine's Day viewing pleasure that are sure to set the mood for this Hallmark holiday.
10. Valentine
You have to appreciate the irony of watching a Valentine's Day movie involving a psychotic stalker, murder, and corny one-liners. Starring Denise Richards, and David Boreanaz, you should watch this flick if your valentine has a wicked sense of humor or loves clutching tightly to your hand during the jumpy parts.
9. The Philadelphia Story
If you are a fan of black and white movies this romantic comedy starring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn is a perfect choice for your Valentine's Day. This old Hollywood classic will charm you with witty dialogue and a picture perfect ending.
8. Beauty and the Beast
Disney movies are always the right choice when you are picking a movie, but even more apropos for Valentine's Day is the one that taught us at a young age that true love is found within.
Other great Disney love movies include Alladin, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, A Little Mermaid, and many more!
7. The English Patient
Love isn't always a fairy tale. Involving a burn victim in the care of a nurse during World War II, The English Patient is a tragic story of love and loss that can set a more serious tone for your Valentine's Day.
6. The Notebook
Get ready for the waterworks with this classic love movie pick. Who can resist a story about two lovers whose love conquers any obstacle from interfering parents to the trials of old age?
5. Under the Tuscan Sun
This movie takes a different approach love, and will appeal to helpless romantics and misanthropes alike. Set in the visually breathtaking Tuscany, this story is about perseverance, taking chances, getting past infidelity, and realizing that love comes to those who love themselves.
