Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap.

Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of the holiday I've created a list of the best romance films. So, if any of you are dateless at home tonight (or with someone at home!) pick up one of these movies!

Great list! I particularly remember that scene in My Best Friend's Wedding, when the whole restaurant busts into "Say A Little Prayer"...classic!

I love that scene! I usually hate when movies randomly break into song, but this one was so cute and it seems like Rupert Everett could really make an entire restaurant burst into song in real life. lol.

Have you seen The Shop Around the Corner, the original film that You've Got Mail is based on? As much as I like the newer updated version from Ms. Ephron, you just can't beat Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, not to mention the strong supporting cast. And I miss the sub-plot that you don't get in the new version.

One of the things about Serendipity I liked most is Jeremy Piven's many outbursts and his heartfelt speech towards the end gets me every time.

I love the line from Say Anything just after Lili Taylor reads the letter and says she's never gotten such a letter and the other girl replies, "I dream about it."

I was afraid that I would hate Juno because of the so-called "hipster dialog" that was talked about so often in reviews. But after the early scenes where that was so distracting it eventually died down and I was able to enjoy the film.

No, I haven't. Jimmy Stewart is one of my favorite actors, but that's one of the films of his I have yet to see. Now that you've brought it to my attention I'm adding it to my Netflix queue!

I love Jeremy Piven! He's pretty much the same character in everything, but I like him.

"Say Anything" is such a classic. It's one of those movies that just transcends time.

I saw "Juno" when it first hit theaters, and saw it in one of the few theaters it was at in Los Angeles; a little art house theater. So it was before all the hype, otherwise I probably wouldn't have seen it. I don't trust hype. But I'm so glad I did see it. It's really such a great movie.

"Away From Her" is just so heart-breaking. Somehow it's simultaneously depressing and uplifting.

I actually didn't know the story until after I saw the movie. How tragic. It's just so sad. I should Netflix that DVD too because I watched the movie OnDemand and I'd really like to see the DVD extras.

And please move it to the top.

Yup. That it is.
