You’re at home with your wife or your girlfriend on Valentine’s Day and she wants to see a good movie. What should you put on your DVD player? Here is my top 10 romantic movies for a Valentine’s evening.

1- Kate and Leopold
A duke travels through time from New York in 1876 to the present and falls in love with a career woman in the modern world.

One of my favourites with Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan

2- Just Like Heaven
David takes over the lease on Elizabeth’s apartment, but he discovers that she hasn’t vacated the building. Elizabeth’s body may be dead, but her spirit is still quite alive.

Good romantic funny movie.

3- Maid in Manhattan
A senatorial candidate falls for a hotel maid, thinking she is a wealthy guest at the hotel.
A woman from the lower class falling for a rich man, always a winner.

4- 13 going on Thirty
After total humiliation at her birthday party, a 13 years old wakes up the next day as a 30 years old woman.
Good movie, it shows that sometimes, what we want is not what we need.

5- While you were Sleeping
Lucy’s life consists of constant loneliness, that is until she saves Peter’s life. Now his family believes that she is his fiancée.Everybody realizes what a terrific person she is, especially Jack, Peter’s brother.

Another lovely movie that shows, that sometimes what you want is not what you need.

6- If Only
A lonely singer/songwriter and the man of her dreams take a second shot at love after fate intervenes into their romance.
Pretty touching movie, that displays real love.

7- Ever After
This is a new version of Cinderella, with Drew Barrymore.

A classic fairy tale.

8- The Family man
After a strange interaction, Jack wakes up in a new and different life from that of a high-living urban Wall Street exec as a suburban New Jersey father and husband to his old sweetheart, Kate.

Funny, lovely and romantic comedy.

9- Somewhere in time
In this romantic film, a playwright obsessed with a picture of an early 1900s actress turn back in time to find the woman, and the two begin a love affair.

Really interesting romantic movie. A classic!

10- Forever Young
A man undergoes a scientific experiment that causes him to wake up after 50 years without aging a day in this romantic science-fiction tale.

Good, maybe a little less romantic than the others, but pretty good anyway.

These are ten winners for Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is a perfect day to discover or rediscover these romantic films.
