Just The Two Of Us: A Few Lists Of Romantic Movies

By now it's no surprise that I love to watch movies. I say "I" and not "we" because though Franco watches most movies with me, I don't know if he particularly loves to do it. I'd say he mostly goes along with it because I ask him to, and he's just incredibly nice like that.

Valentine's day is coming up, so I put together a few lists of "romantic" movies to give you some ideas if you're like us and prefer to stay home instead of braving the crowds on V-day weekend. Or if you need some ideas for cute and clean "stay-at-home date night" flicks, or even just something to watch while you go about doing your normal duties--folding laundry, sorting mail, unloading groceries, sewing, quilting, painting, menu-planning, what have you.

First, we have my All-time Romantic Favorites: Pride & Prejudice (2005), The Princess Bride, Ever After, and While You Were Sleeping.
I've watched each of these countless times but you'll never find better, cleaner, more heart-fluttering romances than these.

Next is the Cute & Quirky Romantic Comedy list: Penelope (not particularly a comedy but it makes me laugh), Dan In Real Life, Leap Year, When In Rome. With a little touch of magique or some characters with real grace and wit, you can't go wrong with any of these pairs of star-crossed lovebirds.

I couldn't bear to leave any of these Animated Love Stories out: Beauty and the Beast (Disney), Anastasia (Dimitri is still my one and only cartoon crush!), and Corpse Bride. These are great to watch if you're left at home without a babysitter, or for your kiddos to watch with the babysitter. =)

I don't think anyone can resist the innocence of Teen Love (as paranormal or creepy as it may seem): Twilight, 17 Again, and Flipped. 

I combined these two lists, Romantic Remakes and Unforgettable Series, since each story was initially either a movie or a book. 

Romantic Remakes: Sabrina (the newest one), and You've Got Mail. Unforgettable Series (you may need to plan out from 6-9 hours of watching time for these, but they are so worth it): Pride & Prejudice (A&E version) and Little Dorrit.

And finally, a few Endearing Oldies to make you smile and wish you'd been alive during the era of black-and-white: It Happened One Night, Some Like It Hot, and An Affair to Remember.

And there they are. My list started after I read this post, which also has some great recommended titles. 

Did I leave anything out? Let me know what you think!
