A few years ago I decided Valentine’s day was the best time to tally up my top 10 Romantic Movies of all time! Hmmm of all time? That might be putting too much pressure on myself. Perhaps my top ten date night movies rating from one tissue to an entire box! Considering it looks like we’re all in for a Valentine’s Day in lockdown it seemed appropriate to have another go at it. Turns out no matter how many years pass, these movies remain my forever picks. Without further ado, here are my Top 10 Romantic Movies For Valentine’s Day. So go pop some popcorn, pick out your fave and enjoy a littler a lot of romance with someone you love!
#1. The Notebook: Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are perfect in this flick set in the 1940’s. Umm and they are Canadian eh? The Notebook requires an entire box of Kleenex to get through and possibly sunglasses the next day.
#2. Titanic: Jack and Rose! The prim and proper Rose rebels, finds her true soul mate, falls in love hard and gets into a little trouble along the way. Unrequited love. Oh yes, this is at least a half box of Kleenex movie!
#3. Sleepless in Seattle: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan playing a couple who’s paths were just meant to cross. Throw in New York City and the Empire State Building before you cue those happy tears. Just a few tissues required for this one!
#4. Forest Gump: Following Forest through his life will make you smile, cheer and cry! Forest has been in love with the same girl since grade school. Forest and Jenny go together like peas and carrots. It’s a long and bumpy road to love. Kleenex required? Oh yes. Quite possibly my favourite movie of all time.
#5. Ghost: Patrick and Demi. A protective hot man who loves his woman so much he turns into a protective hot ghost. Need I say more? If you can get through the last scene of this movie without crying, you do not have a heart.
#6. Bridget Jones’s Diary: Haven’t we all felt a little bit like poor Bridget Jones at some point in our lives? Maybe not so much the men fighting over you part, but yes to the embarrassing the heck out of yourself, eating icing straight from the jar and loving the wrong man bits? When she realizes he likes her just the way she is, sigh, perfection. Happy tears. Just one happy Kleenex.
#7. Jerry Maguire: Apparently I am a sucker for the one liner because, “You had me at Hello.” has me reaching for the tissue every single time!
#8. Sixteen Candles: Drunk exchange students, the sweetest geek ever, forgotten birthdays and the biggest crush a 16 year old girl could ever have. The perfect chic flick and wait, perhaps one movie we can get through without a Kleenex!
#9. Dirty Dancing: “Oh I…had the time of my life….” Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey are magic! A classic good girl meets bad boy and makes all the wrong choices, and you cheer her along every step of the way. Love. Kleenex required? Maybe one. “No one puts baby in a corner!”
#10. When Harry Met Sally: Can a man and a women be “just” friends? Of course they can. But maybe not these two! The only time you might need Kleenex is to wipe the tears of frustration as you scream “Get together already” at the screen!
#11. Can’t Buy Me Love: I had to add number 11 to my top 10 because, come on, Patrick Dempsey!
