5 Must-See Movies on Valentine’s Day

After our fancy, home-cooked meal, my girlfriends and I plan to curl up with our hot chocolate, tea and coffee and watch a classic Valentine's Day movie. But thanks to the magic of cinema, we've seen dozens of fabulous classics grace the silver screen. Here are a few movies that make our top list:

Pride & Prejudice

Because who wasn’t in love with Mr. Darcy when they were growing up? It’s a classic that has had millions of girls wishing they could find their “Mr. Darcy” someday. (The three-hour Colin Firth version is still number one in my books.)

While You Were Sleeping

This one’s in honor of my mom. It’s one of her favorites and we never tire of watching it together. While You were Sleeping gives hope to all the women who work in seemingly dead end jobs and find true love through freak accidents.

Sleepless in Seattle

Throw reality out the window and never give up on love. Though they don’t actually meet till the last five minutes of the movie, the 100 minute build-up is worth the wait. It’s also a modern reference to an equally sappy romance An Affair to Remember.

Shakespeare in Love

The bsolutely superb story line that weaves one of history’s greatest love stories (Romeo & Juliet) into Shakespeare’s own life makes this one of my favorite movies of all time. This classic is an all-around joy to watch, even on the other 364 days of the year.

The Notebook

The true on-screen (and off-screen) chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams turned the stereotypical summer romance plotline into an unparalleled love story. Though the Nicholas Sparks book was cheesy at best, the movie is a timeless classic that still has me sobbing at embarrassing decibels.

Rent any of these movies at the on El Camino or .
