We all know Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and some people still have no clue what to do. Just kick back relax and go watch one of these top movies to watch on the day of love.

1.  50 Shades of Grey

The erotic, romantic novel turned into a movie, and it’s going to be released on February 13, right in time for Valentine’s Day.

Innocent Ana meets Christian Grey, a wealthy yet tortured business man, when she interviews him. Ana or Grey cannot resist one another, but Grey will only be with her if everything is under his control. She finds out what Grey’s terms are to be with him and agrees. This exotic romantic movie is definitely watching this Valentine’s weekend, if you’re into it.

2. The Notebook

 

The gorgeous love story of Allie and Noah is based on a Nicholas Sparks book taken place in the mid 1900’s. Noah is a poor man while Allie comes from wealth.
