1. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1995)
I'm starting the list with my favorite adaptation of Jane Austen's book. Being a mini series, it lasts longer than a normal movie but it has it all. It has the romance, the heartbreak, the annoying characters everyone loves to hate, the strong and memorable characters everyone loves to love, the happy ending...
2. ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A SPOTLESS MIND (2004)
2. ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A SPOTLESS MIND (2004)
I've asked you what movies you think are best on this particular day and a lot of you named this movie. Which is cool because it's one of my favorites but it doesn't really fit with my idea of a "happy-go-lucky" day. We just assume that the ending is a happy and promising one...
3. The BEFORE... trilogy
3. The BEFORE... trilogy
You don't need to see them all. Pick one and enjoy the conversations. It will make you want to see the others, too.
4. BRIDGET jONES'S DIARY (2001)
4. BRIDGET jONES'S DIARY (2001)
We, the female sex, can't get enough of Mr. Darcy, and that's a fact. Enjoy this laugh out loud flick made after the novel with the same name, which is based loosely on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
5. SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (2012)
5. SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (2012)
It doesn't really matter that I hated how they adapted the novel written by Matthew Quick. As a stand alone movie, it does its job.
6. IN YOUR EYES (2014)
6. IN YOUR EYES (2014)
A new one in my list. I've seen it recently and their fantastic love story should be a must-see on Valentine's Day.
7. JANE EYRE (2011)
7. JANE EYRE (2011)
Charlotte Bronte's famous novel, Michael Fassbender, Mia Wasikowska. Enough said.
8. CASABLANCA (1942)
8. CASABLANCA (1942)
Finally, a classic. If you haven't seen it yet then you must!
9. THE PRINCESS BRIDE (1987)
9. THE PRINCESS BRIDE (1987)
You haven't seen The Princess Bride? Inconceivable. My heart melts when Westley, the farm boy, answers to Buttercup's requests, with "as you wish". Most forget that this movie, at its core, is a romantic comedy.
10. (500) DAYS OF SUMMER (2009)
10. (500) DAYS OF SUMMER (2009)
Everyone knows about this movie and Movie Quotes's fans requested to be in this list. Yeah...
11. COMET (2014)
11. COMET (2014)
It's new but it's totally worth it. Like the Before franchise, this movie is based solely on conversations between a man and a woman, during their 6 years of relationship. The ending may or may not be reaching your expectations.
12. BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961)
12. BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961)
No Valentine's Day should pass without watching Audrey Hepburn finding love. A great movie for a great day.
13. THE LITTLE DEATH (2014)
13. THE LITTLE DEATH (2014)
I've talked about it on Movie Quotes Facebook page and I loved it so much, I just had to insert in this list. I think it's perfect for a Valentine's Day movie.
14. HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU (2009)
14. HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU (2009)
A flick about relationships, how they start, why they end and how you find the one in most unexpected places.
15. GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)
15. GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)
What you have to do to win the person you love? Repeat the same day, over and over again. This one's a classic.
16. GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)
16. GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)
No Valentine's day list should go without Scarlett and Rhett's tumultuous love story.
17. WEEKEND (2011)
17. WEEKEND (2011)
There aren't a lot of movies that talk about love in a honest way. Even if you're straight, you can relate to the characters and their story. A great film.
18. DIRTY DANCING (1987)
18. DIRTY DANCING (1987)
I had to chose between Ghost (1990) and Dirty Dancing, both of them starring Patrick Swayze. I picked this one because there's no tragedy in it.
19. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (2008)
19. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (2008)
I love this movie! This is a great and dramatic love story that could work on Valentine's Day. And it does repay all your turmoil you may have felt watching it, at the end.
20. PONTYPOOL (2009)
20. PONTYPOOL (2009)
And if you hate Valentine's Day, this movie is for you. It shows how harmful the endearment words used on this day, can be. Literally.
