Whether you have a date for the night, significant other or are spending the night alone, these movies will keep the love in the air. Here are a couple of romantic movies that will fill your heart with love and possible tears.

“The Notebook”: This movie is a great example about love and the difficulties that come with it. Starring Ryan Gosling and Rachael Adams, this love story is about a poor passionate man and a wealthy woman who fall in love but are separated because of their social differences.

If you’re in the mood for classics, then “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is a perfect choice. Made in 1961, this movie is about a writer who moves into an apartment building in the East side and becomes interested in his pretty and quirky socialite neighbor.

“Crazy, Stupid, Love”: If you’re a fan of Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone or Steve Carell, then this movie might be for you. This romantic comedy is about a middle-aged husband whose life goes down hill when his wife unexpectedly asks him for a divorce.  However, he meets a bachelor who teaches him to rediscover himself by picking up girls at bars.

Are you a fan of Liam Neeson or Hugh Grant? Then you should consider watching “Love Actually”. This romantic comedy portrays love stories of eight couples that fall in and out of love during Christmas time. Some of the couples find themselves with the wrong person and search for the right one.

“Casa Blanca”: This classic 1940’s movie is a good representation of forbidden love.

When she comes back into his life, he is married to a renowned Czech Resistance Leader.  He gives up his hope of reuniting with his ex-love as he helps her and her husband leave the country safely and realizes he isn’t cynical after all.
