Some people might be getting ready to spend Valentine’s Day eating chocolate, giving out candy, sending cards, or watching movies under the covers.
When it comes to movies, Valentine’s Day is the day for romcoms and dramas, but does that always have to be the case? Well, in this list, we’ll talk about the top five Valentine’s Day movies.
10 Things I Don’t Like About You (1999)
This list starts off with a 90s movie that many people know and love. The romantic comedy “10 Things I Hate About You” is set in Seattle and stars Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger.
The movie tells the story of “The Taming of the Shrew,” a comedy written by William Shakespeare in the late 1600s. This angsty cult classic is a great choice for Valentine’s Day.
This movie is for you if you like indie rock music, Shakespeare quotes, a big vocabulary, and teen drama that doesn’t seem like it would ever happen.
“My Bloody Valentine” (1981)
This movie celebrates Valentine’s Day with scares and screams instead of the usual romantic comedies and dramas.
In the made-up town of Valentine Bluffs, people are afraid that a crazy person who killed a bunch of people at a Valentine’s Day party years ago has come back.
“My Bloody Valentine” is a typical 1980s slasher movie. It stars Neil Affleck and Paul Kelman, and it has blood, alcohol, and a few couples who get killed by a crazy serial killer on Valentine’s Day.
“My Bloody Valentine” is a great choice for Valentine’s Day if you don’t like mushy romance movies and want to watch something different.
“50 First Dates” (2004)
People voted for “50 First Dates” as their favorite Valentine’s Day movie in a social media poll done by The Prospector.
“50 First Dates” is not your typical romantic comedy because it’s about a woman who has short-term memory loss and a vet who tries every day to make her fall in love with him.
This romantic comedy with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in the lead roles will make you and your Valentine laugh.
“Pride and Prejudice” (2005)
“Pride and Prejudice” was also chosen as a favorite Valentine’s Day movie.
This movie is based on Jane Austen’s novel of the same name. It shows the life of Elizabeth Bennet, an English woman who lives with her parents and sisters in the country.
Elizabeth’s parents want her to get married, so they set her up with Mr. Darcy, a smooth upper-class man.
This movie based on a romantic novel will keep you on the edge of your seat. It stars Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden.
“Julie and Julia” (2009)
This movie looks at the lives of Julia Child, a famous chef, and Julie Powell, who used to work for the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation.
Even though these women grew up in different ways and at different times, they all liked to cook.
Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, who played the famous food blogger Julie Powell, did a great job portraying a child’s life in Paris and her adventures through cooking and writing.
