Have a Wilde Valentine's Day

It's that time of the year where we all show how much we love our special someone.  We all show them in our own, sometimes unique, way.  There was once a man who showed his endearing love for his wife by arranging with a florist that a bouquet of flowers be delivered to her every Valentine's Day after his death, with a note reading "My love for you is eternal" *sniff sniff*.

But let's face it, Valentine's Day often comes down to a fancy dinner and a romantic movie where the gentlemen have to grin and bare it.  So here is a top 5 list of our favourite Valentine's Day movies you can snuggle up with your loved one on the couch and enjoy:

5. When Harry Met Sally (1989):
A great story where an unlikely chemistry develops over the course of a decade between a fun-loving Harry (Billy Crystal) and Type-A Sally (Meg Ryan).

4. Crazy Stupid Love (2011):
This star studded, witty movie is a reminder that love is still a journey and not a destination.  It shows that even the highest betrayal is still trumped by an enduring love.

3. Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
Based on a best selling book by the same name, you will be in stitches from laughing with this outstanding performance by Renée Zellweger. She plays the role of an awkward singleton who keeps a diary and narrates her inner most thoughts from it.  To her surprise, she finds herself in an awkward love triangle with an apparently smug lawyer (Colin Firth) and her rather dashing boss (Hugh Grant).

2. Titanic (1997):
Being the favourite of many and scoring billions at the box office, Titanic remains one of the highest grossing films to date. This heart breaking love story transcends circumstance and class and shows that even extreme opposites do attract and that even a brief moment of love can live a lifetime in ones memories.

1. Ghost (1990):
When Sam (Patrick Swayze) is suddenly taken away from his wife, Molly Jensen (Demi Moore), in a botched mugging, he returns as a Ghost to right a few wrongs with the help of a skittish medium Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg). This ageless masterpiece begs the question - Who says love can't last forever?

We wish you a very romantic evening with your loved one.
