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!!!

oh yes, Like Water for Chocolate was really a beautiful movie. You've Got Mail was cute - as was Sleepless in Seattle. Meg's a good girl for romantic comedies!

good suggestions!!

and thanks for the craft ideas too - I love those page markers and the yarn hearts!!

Great!

I've got another movie for you

Under a Tuscan Sun .. love that.

I also liked Unfaithful ... and Must Love Dogs .. (I like Diane Lane - can you tell - I've got a bit of a girl crush on her actually :)

I do love Diane Lane too! she was so beautiful in the early films like The Outsiders. and she really stayed beautiful. I did like Must Love Dogs - surprisingly. but I also love John Cusack - i had such a crush on him when he was in Say Anything - which is my favorite romantic film of all time.
I'll have to watch Under the Tuscan Sun - though it will just make me wish I had money to travel!

You haven't seen Under a Tuscan Sun?

I insist that you do! ASAP! You will love and of course you will want to go to Tuscany but that's the way it goes :)

I thought of more Johan Cusack movies

The Sure Thing - a very oldie but a goodie :)
Say Anything - <3
Serendipity

the funny thing - Under a Tuscan Sun was on cable yesterday morning, but I got into the middle of it. so I'll have to check it out from start to finish sometime very soon!

the Sure Thing is awesome - and Say Anything is my favorite John Cusack movie!
Did you see Better Off Dead? it's silly but classic! And Grosse Point Blank! awesome movie!

YES! I've seen Better off Dead =... and Grosse Point Blank!

Now I feel the need to go dig out my Under the Tuscan Sun dvd.

I really need to see that film - it will be on my list of things to do in February!

I also need to get a copy of Better Off Dead - I have Grosse Point Blank - love it!!!
