Most Romantic Movies for Valentine's Day

Well, Valentine's Day is here. This is the time of the year that most guys scramble what to do or give to their very special someone. What to do? What to do?

Well, most go to a special dinner at some very expensive place. Others go to a movie and a not so expensive dinner. Others, who are more budget conscious (which is probably most of us especially during this recession) will make a special dinner at home and cuddle up to a nice romantic movie.



Hopefully, I can help with the movie part of it. I've selected 25 movies that are available for renting and only one that is in the theaters at this moment that deserves good consideration. The movies selected are movies that I have actually seen. I also didn't select movies that are terribly long such as Titanic, Gone with the Wind, and The Way We Were. Who wants to spend all that time watching a movie when you can spend that time better doing other things? ;)

So, I hope you find my selection fun, romantic, and interesting. Hopefully, it will provide you with some quality cuddling time.
