10 – Walk the Line (2005)
I’m a little bit country…she’s a little bit rock and roll…
This portrayal of Johnny and June Cash is an epic biopic. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon beautifully capture the essence of the romance. Johnny loved June Carter so much, he knew he had to marry her. Seeing their love blossom over the course of their lives is a great way to celebrate life and a relationship with someone you truly love beyond anything. These two real life people even died around the same time. It’s said Johnny died of a broken heart after June passed.
Best Quote: June Carter “Well, then start loving yourself, so we can go back to work.”
9 – Ghost Town (2008)
All I’m saying is if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it…
The cynical among us love Ricky Gervais, and his role as a man who can see dead people and is now doomed to help them with their love problems is a great Valentine’s Day romance story. Everyone’s tired of people bragging about their relationships on Facebook, and Gervais portrays this feeling perfectly. Love isn’t always as much fun as it sounds; sometimes you just end up involved in other people’s drama.
Best Quote: Bertram Pincus “All work and no play makes Jack- a vital member of society.”
8 – Shrek (2001)
This is awkward, but umm…I kinda preferred the you that didn’t look like Oprah…
It’s hard to believe it’s been over a decade since Shrek came out. This backwards fairy tale where the ogre gets the girl proves what it is women really want—anything but the rich kid with the little man complex. Featuring the voice talents of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow, Shrek is a feel-good movie that’s perfect for the young at heart.
Best Quote: Shrek “Oh, no no no no! Dead broad OFF the table!”
7 – Seems Like Old Times (1980)
How the hell did you make such a mess making cereal?!?!
Ahh the classics. One of the best movies from the 80s, Seems Like Old Timesis a Neil Simon film that still maintains its charm. Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn are a divorced couple, and, after being forced to take part in a bank robbery, Chase hides out at Hawn’s house. The only problem is Hawn’s husband (Charles Groden) is the district attorney, so a lot of hijinx ensue. If you pine for an old flame, Seems Like Old Times is the Valentine’s Day romantic comedy for you.
Best Quote: Glenda (Hawn) “Chester. You just went through a stop sign.”
Chester (Chase) “I can’t help it. I don’t like to read when I drive.”
6 – About a Boy (2002)
Why am I the only grown man with a young boy on a list of romantic films…
You wouldn’t think watching a man hang out with an unrelated boy would be weird. Knowing that man is Hugh Grant, who chose a ragged hooker over his knockout wife Elizabeth Hurley makes it a little more awkward on paper, but on film, it plays beautifully. This is a buddy flick and a romance rolled into one, and it teaches men that parenting isn’t scary. If you’re a slacker who still hasn’t grown up, About a Boy is for you.
Best Quote: Will “The thing is, a person’s life is like a TV show. I was the star of The Will Show. And The Will Show wasn’t an ensemble drama. Guests came and went, but I was the regular. It came down to me and me alone. If Marcus’ mum couldn’t manage her own show, if her ratings were falling, it was sad, but that was her problem. Ultimately, the whole single mum plotline was a bit complicated for me.”
5 – True Romance (1993) (Runner Up: Natural Born Killers)
We can’t go out like this, babe…I don’t want to end up on the People of Walmart website…
Quentin Tarantino isn’t known for the romance in his films, but True Romance, which he wrote, is an epic romantic crime drama. There are drugs, hookers, and all sorts of guns. The love between Clarence (Christian Slater) and Alabama (Patricia Arquette) is something we all wish we had. By the time this movie reaches its bloody climax, not only will you be in love with Elvis, but you’ll know the origin of Sicilians.
Best Quote: Clarence Worley “You just said you love me, now if I say I love you and just throw caution to the wind and let the chips fall where they may and you’re lying to me I’m gonna fuckin’ die.”
4 – Titanic (1997)
Exclusive shot from the set of Scorsese’s Smurfs Origins: The Rise of Azriel…
Spoiler Alert: The ship sinks, and it takes like half the movie. Before it happens though, Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) steals Rose (Kate Winslett) from her rich husband-to-be. If you watch the film closely, you’ll notice Rose withholds the blue gem from the man looking for it (holding up an expensive expedition) so she can tell him the story of the man she left for a man she promised she’d never let go of (before disposing of his body in the waters, never to be found or identified), before throwing the damn gem into the ocean. What a bitch.
Best Quote: Jack “I’m the king of the world!!”
3 – Bride and Prejudice (2004)
I would do anything for this woman…anything…literally anything…
This Bollywood take on the classic “Pride and Prejudice” is a musical delight. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the most beautiful women to ever exist, and her acting, singing, and dancing expertise is on full display. This movie is beautiful, tells a renowned story, and you’ll look worldly for suggesting it. The colorful costumes and set designs are like taking an exotic vacation from your couch.
Best Quote: Lalita Bakshi (Rai) “You should be stirring your husband’s dinner not trouble.”
2 – Love, Actually (2003)
What time is it? I need to get back to my husband soon…
Love Actually follows the intertwining stories of eight British couples dealing with love in very different ways. It’s a romantic comedy and a Christmas film, but it is in no way sappy. It’s a touching comedy filled with amazing moments. It’s impossible to watch this movie without laughing, crying, and falling in love with at least one character. Love Actually is the best romantic comedy ever written.
Best Quote: Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) “Hiya kids. Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. Don’t buy drugs. Become a pop star, and they give you them for free!”
1 – The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Cheers to debauchery!
Good idea: telling your wife and/or girlfriend you want to watch this Oscar-nominated Leonardo DiCaprio flick. It’ll make you sound like you’re genuinely interested in the financial crisis and things we can do to save the economy. You can even tell them you got the idea from this Lifehack from bona fide Bank whistleblower Brian Penny.
Bad idea: telling your wife and/or girlfriend you downloaded the DVD screener from The Pirate Bay before the release date, and it’s filled with naked women. When Leo snorts coke off a hooker’s bum in the first five minutes, act like you had no idea it would be like this—then sit back, relax, and watch your dream life acted out before your very eyes. This is the best shot you have at opening the conversation about watching porn with your girlfriend (here’s the facts before you even open your mouth to say you don’t: Porn Statistics).
Best Quote: Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio) “I am not gonna die sober!”
