Valentine's Suggestions

[laurainlimbo]

Hi - I think I mentioned awhile back that I help put together a semi-monthly newsletter for my team at work - it's mostly just fun stuff like movie suggestions, crafts, facts about holidays, recipes and other fun ideas.

I'm in charge of the media section and the creative corner (arts, crafts, etc.), and our theme for February, of course, is Valentine's Day.

I'm not much of a fan of romantic movies (in fact, I don't like romantic comedies much at all), yet I want to come up with a list of good movie suggestions for Valentine's Day.
So that's where my friends come in:

Please post a comment with your favorite romantic movies, or the best movies you can suggest for Valentine's Day. These can even be anti-Valentine's Day movies (one that comes to mind is War of the Roses with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner), for those who hate the holiday! Whatever you can suggest would be great!

Also, if you're a crafty person, can you suggest any fun craft ideas for Valentine's Day - not necessarily for kids, but for anyone?

Thanks in advance!!!

For some reason I'm struggling to come up with many romantic movies, here's a few I enjoy:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
500 Days of Summer
Sleepless in Seattle
Dirty Dancing
50 First Dates
Chocolat
You've Got Mail

Hope that's enough to start - I must say that the Romance list on the IMDb has a severe lack of actually romantic movies suitable for valentimes day!

Oh, I love Chocolat.

oh gosh me too - my favorite actress Juliette Binoche, and Johnny Depp looking like a gorgeous human rather than a monster - LOL!

it's a beautiful movie!

It is brilliant and it's the first film I saw Johnny Depp in :)

wow - i saw him way back in Nightmare on Elm Street, just around the time that he was doing the tv show 21 Jump Street - he was so young!! then Benny and Joon and What's Eating Gilbert Grape - he was my favorite actor for awhile! and I realize I don't have anymore Johnny Depp icons - I had some and dumped them - LOL!
