With Valentines Day less than a week away, love is definitely in the air. However, not all of us are in the same boat, snuggled up to their significant other, ready to hunker down and get their Netflix and Chill on. Whether you're single, or like me with their Bae on the other side of the country, a good rom-com is always there for us, and so are two of my favourite men - Ben & Jerry.
Top Five Valentines Day Flicks
No. 1: The Proposal
Is there really anything better than Ryan Reynolds, or Sandra Bullock for that matter? Not really. This is the tale of a cranky, type-a boss babe who tricks her poor little assistant into pretending to be engaged to her. I bet you can guess what happens at the end of this one... they fall in love (what a plot twist)!
This movie is one that actually makes me LOL, which isn't something that happens often. Betty White, the dab queen herself, is also in this movie, so that's a win.
No. 2: Notting Hill
Notting Hill is definitely a classic around my house. It's the story of an average man who lands one of Hollywoods leading ladies. Their worlds clash and they face a world of difficulties in making their relationship work, but ultimately, love wins out in the end.
This movie is one of my grandpa's favourites, so I grew up watching it. I know the dialogue more thoroughly than I'd like to admit, but because this movie is such a good one, I'm really not that ashamed.
No. 3: Definitely Maybe
Okay, so you already know how I feel about Ryan Reynolds. In Definitely Maybe he plays an adorable dad, and nothing pulls on a girl's heartstrings (or ovaries) quite like an adorable dad. He tells his daughter all about his past love affairs, and she convinces him to go after a woman who has always been there for him, and whom he has always had feelings for.
No. 4: P.S. I Love You
If you feel like ugly crying this Valentines Day, this is the movie for you. A woman is led on scavenger hunt of sorts, orchestrated by her dead husband. It's a whirlwind of emotions, and it's just downright sad, but it's peppered with flashbacks of her life with her husband, and those scenes show a great love.
I will admit that I've only seen this movie twice, but that's only because I don't like to willingly make myself depressed.
No. 5: The Notebook
The Notebook, or anything by Nicholas Sparks, just screams Valentines Day! This epic romance is the epitome of cry-your-heart-out flicks, and us girls just love it! If sobbing isn't your MO, maybe try the Sparks film The Longest Ride - that one has a happy ending!
Whatever you end up doing this V-Day, I hope you do it with love, and I hope you get to stuff your face with chocolate at the end of it. If you're spending the day alone, don't fret, I'll be your Valentine.
