Maybe A Movie This Valentines Day?

Valentines Day is here - already. Are you ready? Whether you are or not it's time to think about some Valentines plans. Maybe a movie? Either on the big screen, rental or on demand on your home TV. Here are a few ways you can go, to help put some fun in your Valentines Day plans. First though, I would still recommend a flower or two and maybe dinner and a card.



If you're heading out to the movie theaters here we go! Out now!


1/ Valentines Day - (Out Friday) Virtually every young star in Hollywood in this movie. A
look at modern day Valentines Day. Big soundtrack too.


2/ Dear John - Nicolas Sparks latest love story novel comes to the movies. Huge in its first
weekend. Guys, you will score major points if you initiate the idea of going to this
movie.

3/ When In Rome - Well it's bad. But it's out there. I guess you could use this as a backup plan
if the above two are sold out!


4/ It's Complicated - It's still out there. Good recommendation for a little older audience.




Maybe you're going to stay home and rent or go all on demand on us. Well, here are a few of my favorite romantic comedy classics. Some you may know or have seen, and some maybe not. All good for a fun, romantic time. In no particular order.



1/ Sleepless In Seattle - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. A wonderful story, and fun performances
Still holds up nicely if it's been a while since you've seen it.


2/ While You Were Sleeping - Sandra Bullock. An early Bullock movie. And except for The Blind
Side, I think her best performance in her career. Just flat out fun!


3/ When Harry Met Sally - Changed everything about romantic comedies. Billy Crystal and
Meg Ryan again. Funny, and fun!


4/ Return To Me - Here's a sleeper. David Duchovney and Minnie Driver. A sad start gives
way to a real feel good finish. This movie should have better success. You have to stick
with it


5/ The Proposal - A surprisingly good Sandra Bullock flick, early last year. If you missed it, it's
great fun. A real surprise!

If you're a bit more daring and really want a classic to rent, then let's go back a bit further.

1/ Some Like It Hot - Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe. A classic. And did I
mention Marilyn Monroe? A fun 90 minutes.

2/ How to Marry A Millionaire - Laren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable. Funny little
story. Looks dated, but it's fun.

3/ Any Doris Day/Rock Hudson romantic comedy - There's a bunch of them and they are all
fun!

To avoid! These are flicks to avoid if romance is what you're looking for! For some reason these will not work for Valentines Day!

1/ Up In The Air - This is a GREAT movie. BUT, even though they packaged this as a romantic
comedy, but it is NOT! This is way more drama than you may be looking for.

2/ Love Happens - Jennifer Anniston and Aaron Eckhart. This is way too heavy too for a light
Valentines Day night!

Well there you go. Some do's and don'ts. And I know there are tons more out there, but these are some worth looking into - or not!

Happy Valentines Day!
