The day of mush and romance and all things flowery is here. Of course, through the day and well into the evening, hugs, kisses, cards and even special gifts will be exchanged. People will go on dates to restaurants, plan romantic picnic dinners or lunches or just end up watching movies that are Valentine’s Day themed.
5 Valentine’s Day movies to watch and get sappy
The Notebook
The Notebook is considered to be one of the most romantic movies ever made by Hollywood. Based on the book of the same name, written by the author Nicholas Sparks, it shows how enduring first love is through the years. Eye candy like Ryan Gosling (for the ladies) and the very pretty Rachel McAdams in what are probably their most famous roles are definitely worth watching. Make sure you have lots of hankies and tissues while watching this lovefest. Check out the movie synopsis here.

Pretty Woman
One of the biggest hits to come out of Hollywood, we’ve all watched Pretty Woman. The call girl with the heart of gold meets the ruthless business tycoon with a penchant for takeovers. Watching this movie, it’s a toss-up as to who is taking over whose heart. Definitely one of the best movies ever made in Hollywood. It catapulted a relatively unknown Julia Roberts straight to stardom and got us to drool over a very hot and much younger Richard Gere.
