Valentines Day is upon us again. It is a time for love, chocolate, jewelery, cards...
Alright, so Valentines Day isn't exactly my favorite holiday, but I am here to serve. In selecting a movie to watch while curled up with your significant other, there are some criteria I would suggest upon as to round out your Valentines Day. It's pretty simple really. The obvious point is to view a love story, but I would also pay attention to the genre and/or style of the film. Go with a genre that brings you together; he likes science fiction, she likes art house, but they both love comedy. There you go.
My last suggestion is find a movie with a happy ending. A downer of an ending can bring a downer of a Valentines. On this day, I would think you would want to see the guy and gal live happily ever after. So Romeo and Juliet, while a classic story, is a bad idea because at the end of it, they're both dead. Downer.
Here's a few suggestions.
The Kiss - A 30 second film shot by Thomas Edison of a man and woman sharing a moment. You should be able to find it on Youtube.
Mallrats - Of all of Kevin Smith's movies, this one fits my criteria the closest.
Dirty Dancing - Dancing and love, a great combination
Legend - For those who like a romantic fairy tale.
Desperado - For fans of action/western.
Shaun of the Dead - The perfect movie for zombie fans, of which there is many.
Sixteen Candles - The 80s, what a good time.
Robin Hood - The Errol Flynn version or Prince of Thieves works well. The new version by Ridley Scott is awesome, but not really for Valentines Day.
Grumpy Old Men - For our more...mature movie buffs.
My Bloody Valentine - Alright, it doesn't fit the criteria, but I had to include it. Watch the original before watching the remake.
There are millions of more out there that will do nicely. Remember: love story, happy ending. Avoid "Titanic"
Happy Valentines Day.
