I love “love” and the idea of being in love and spending quality time with my partner, celebrating the high’s and lows and cherishing simple joys all the year round. But the option to make them feel “extra” special on a certain day makes the concept of Valentines Day more exciting which is why couples and singletons “in love” look forward to this day with a big heart.
Every couple has their own idea of Valentines Day and how they want to celebrate it, so if you’re one of those people who are planning to stay in on February 14, instead of randomly flipping through channels, relive the romance by cozying up with them and play one of these 6 movies to watch with him/her and fall in love again.
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind
Probably one of the most visually pleasing movies, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind showed the consequences and actions of people who fall in love and then how they deal with the aftermath after a breakup. The movie is about passion and a deep awakening of love and the memories made that, sometimes, not all people want to entirely forget. Clementine wants to forget Joel after a devastating breakup and erase his memories through a medical procedure, so when Joel finds out, he opts for the same, only to fight for his memories and go against the procedure in the recesses of his brain. Phew!
