Here at the Holiday Network we have the choice where to cover ever single holiday or only the major ones. I am planning a post for Groundhog’s day, but Valentines day has so many more fans and so many more movies.
Today I would like to talk about some of the movies that I love and the couples that make them work. Also these movies will be both girl and guy friendly. After all what good is a Valentines day movie if the guy in your life will not want to watch it. We know what movies we are talking about. There will be no pure chick flicks of this list.
The first Valentines day movie, we will consider all loves stories to fit this description, is an all time classic. Like Romeo and Juliet, which I will get to later, this film features what are called star crossed lovers. Their love is the one thing that they cannot live without and it is also the thing that will destroy them in the end.
The movie is Wuthering Heights. The version is the only one that really counts. The year was 1939 and it stars Merle Oberon and Lawrence Olivier.
Next we should look at the greatest of all star crossed love stories. Romeo and Juliet. I am going to go with the one that almost won the Oscar. I am going to go with the one that is most guy friends, this is due to the fact that Juliet is played by the amazing Olivia Hussey.
The next film is Titanic. Similar to Romeo and Juliet as far as the plot goes, but there are a few thousand films that I could say that about. Watching the film it feels like these lovers have lived and loved a lifetime together in the space of two days.
Next is a movie that I have mixed emotions about. Every woman in my life loves this film and I have to admit that I have watched it a few times. The movie is Dirty Dancing and these star crossed lovers actually survive the story.
The last movie that could fall into a lot of categories. Love crazy would probably fit it best, but I can always mention it in future post. This on screen couple is awesome together and since they seem to enjoy working together we can look forward to many more films featuring them. The movie is Silver linings Playbook.
