With today being the "holiday of love" and all, what better way to celebrate than snuggling up with someone you care for and watching a mushy movie? Luckily, there is a sappy love story for every type of person out there.
For the one who believes that love can cross all boundaries, "The Notebook" is for you. Teens have swooned to this movie just as fast as "Titanic." Nicholas Sparks has a way of bringing out the girly girl in every female and Ryan Gosling playing the main hunk doesn't hurt much either. The idea of love overcomes even Alzheimer's is sure to make any girl melt.
"You had me at hello." These few words turn "Jerry McGuire" from a jock football movie into an instant classic love story. A guy, a girl, football and that cute little kid from "Stuart Little" (Jonathan Lipnicki). What's not to love? You can even drag the most stubborn boyfriend to this one. To the jock at heart, this goes out to you.
For the child-at-heart romantic, take your pick at any Disney movie. In particular, "Beauty and the Beast" is an all around favorite. Many feel some sort of giggly happiness when Beauty finds her Prince Charming. This gives many hope that they too can find their handsome prince.
For the one who is determined to cry, "Atonement" is a top pick. Lies, betrayal and war never amount to anything good but when Kiera Knightly and James McAvoy play the destined-to-part couple, this turns into a sure movie that is destined to tug at your heartstrings.
For the couple who believes that there is always a second chance at love, even if you get your memory erased, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is just right. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet play a surprisingly perfect, quirky, and unusual couple.
"The Princess Bride" gave the words "as you wish" a different meaning. A goofy fairytale has never been so irresistible. For the couple who wants a clean cut happy ending, this movie's for you. Sword fighting, giants, humongous rodents, what more could you ask for? Not to mention Cary Elwes made mustaches disturbingly attractive.
