Fellas! So the economy has you down and you aren’t able to wine and dine the lady like years past? No problem! Ya boy gotcha covered! Get yoself some champipple, a box of Blast-O-Butta popcorn and a Blockbuster/netflix movie pass and check out any one of these movies to make sure your cupid arrow doesn’t go unattended to on the 14th! And yeah this list is biased to movies made during the time that I’ve been alive and old enough to appreciate them!
10: Pretty Woman (1990): Richard Gere, Julia Roberts.
Every woman’s fantasy is to be swept off her feet by her Knight in Shining Armor. In this case, the Knight is a multimillionaire and the girl is a prostitute. Only in Hollywood can this happen. Fellas, no matter what they say, you can’t turn a…Oh hum.. into a housewife.
09: Ghost (1990): Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze.
Dog! You give up a guaranteed trip to Heaven to hang around Earth to follow your girl around? That’s gangsta or stalking to the Nth degree. Either way you should expect a little spiritual love connection after watching this flick.
08: An Officer and a Gentleman (1982): Richard Gere, Debra Winger, Louis Gossett, Jr.
If I had to sum up this movie in one word, it’d be “determination”. If you never give up on your dreams, anything is possible.
07: Jerry Maguire (1996): Tom Cruise, Renee Zellweger, Cuba Gooding, Jr.
C’mon, three words sum this movie up. You Complete Me. If you ain’t making out at the end of this movie, I don’t know what else to do for you!
06: When Harry Met Sally (1989): Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal.
This movie explores the taboo topic of “Can two people of the opposite sex be friends even after they’ve slept together.” This phenomena is also affectionately known as friends with benefits.
05: Love & Basketball(2000): Omar Epps, Sanaa Lathan.
Ever have to chose between something you love and someone you love? This movie, in short, explores the possibility of you getting your cake and eating it too.
