Rec me v-day movies on netflix!

[snapdragon]

DH is out of town this weekend, so I'm looking forward to spending Saturday night watching a romantic movie on Netflix (the kind H never wants to watch) while eating a whole box of chocolates by myself.  Anyone have any good suggestions?  I haven't been paying any attention to new movies since DD1 was born and really have no idea what's good.

snapdragon, not sure if these are romantic enough, but definitely girlier movies I watch without H! Frances Ha, In a World, My Week with Marilyn and two fashion docs: Bill Cunningham New York and Scatter my Ashes at Bergdorfs.

I would go as cheesy-romantic as possible. Austenland perhaps? 

Or like faux girl-powery like The Other Woman

Or classics like Dirty Dancing, Officer and a Gentleman, Some Like it Hot.

I have more in these categories if you have a preference

Nice suggestions pinkiemo! I just watched About Time on HBOGo. I waited to watch it for forever because ugh, not another time travel romance movie. But it was actually pretty sweet and smart. Plus it has Bill Nighy and I love him.

One of my ultimate all-time classic favorites is The Philadelphia Story with Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. I have that shit on VHS and DVD....although I don't have a VCR or DVD player anymore.

I saw About Time on an airplane and it was very sweet. Much better than most of the movies on airplanes.

I've had Sidewalls on my Netflix list for awhile. I rarely have the time to watch a movie and when I do, I don't want to read subtitles. *insert embarrassed face*

If you watch The Other Woman make sure it's not the Natalie Portman one on Netflix. That one is heartbreaking and not really a romance.

A little bit of Heaven
It has Kate Hudson. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love, I would watch again

I loved this movie even though it was ridiculous.

Some other favorites on Netflix:  Princess: A Modern Fairytale (on the cheesy side) and TiMER (more serious)

Sleepless in Seattle! Love that movie, and the ending even takes place on Valentine's Day

I've never seen this one!  It's on my list of movies I feel like everyone has seen but me.  That and When Harry Met Sally.

I don't know if the movie is on Netflix, but it is my all-time favorite romantic movie.

500 Days of Summer.

I have probably seen it... without exaggerating, around 30 times. Haha. I DVRed it and watch it whenever I am bored.

Pretty in pink, sixteen candles, Romeo & Juliet (Claire Danes)
10 things I hate about you
50 first dates
Imdb had a list of 100 best romances

My H's first cousin wrote that screenplay!

I watched A little bit of Heaven last night per your recommendation. It was cute!

Never seen it either but considering DH and I visited Seattle today it might be appropriate. That's contingent on a big fat IF I can convince him!

You just made my life. Haha. They are genius!!!

It was easier than I thought to convince him and he even watched it with me. Sleepless in Seattle is definitely a 90s flick but worth watching

snapdragon,soo what did you pick?!

Well I almost went with Sleepless in Seattle, but then I remembered I'd wanted to watch Silver Linings Playbook so I did that instead, therefore listening to no one.  Then I told H, and he was all "Oh I would have watched that!"  REALLY??  Because I've been trying to get you to watch it for like a year and you are never "in the mood!"  

Anyway he's out of town again tonight and I still have half the box of chocolates!

Haha! That's a great read, too.
