Movies to Watch on Valentine’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Brandeis chapter.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner and all this snowy weather, you’ve probably started compiling a list of perfect movies for a cozy night in this Saturday. Although Titanic and The Notebook are classics, here are some other options to add to your list:(* means you can find this on Netflix) 

 

 1. 50 First Dates (2004) 

“I was so nervous to come here and meet the guy that makes me fall in love with him everyday.” 

 

 

2. Shrek (2001)  

“Onions have layer. Ogres have layers…You get it? We both have layers.” 

 

 

3. Love Actually (2003) 

“If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love is actually all around.” 

 

4. Dirty Dancing (1997)  * 

“Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.”  

 

5. Sleepless in Seattle (1993)  * 

“Destiny is something we’ve invented because we can’t stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental.”

 

 

6. What Happens in Vegas (2008)

“To anyone who has ever been dumped and to anyone who has ever been fired…when I say screw you say you…”

 

7. Bridesmaids (2011) 

“This is such a stone-cold pack of weirdos, and I am so proud!”

 

8. When Harry Met Sally (1989)  

“I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

 

 9. Say Anything (1989)

“If you start out depressed, everything is a pleasant surprise.”

 

 

10. 101 Dalmatians (1961) 

*ruff, ruff*

 

11. Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) 

“I will never stop trying because when you find the one…you never give up.”

 

12. Silver Lining’s Playbook (2012) *  

“The only way you can beat my crazy was by doing something crazy yourself. Thank you. I love you. I knew it the minute I met you. I’m sorry it took so long for me to catch up. I just got stuck.”

 

 

13. Pretty Woman (1990) 

Baby, I’m gonna treat you so nice, you’re never gonna wanna let me go.”

 

 14. She’s the Man (2006)

“It’s just like what Coach says before every game: Be not afraid of greatness, some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. I think our best chance to be great here today, is to have you play.”

 

15. Grease (1978) *

“You better shape up, cause I need a man and my heart is set on you.” 

 

 

The best thing about these movies is it’s totally acceptable to watch them year round!
