If you and your sweetie are staying home on Valentine's Day, cook a meal together and then, cuddle up on the couch to watch one of these romantic movies. From old school classics to modern favorites, these films are all about love.
On-screen Romance
You don't have to spend a bundle on a fancy restaurant or night out on the town on Valentine's Day. Spend a cozy evening at home instead. Head to Netflix or Redbox and watch one of these best romantic movies.
Casablanca
One of the most romantic movies of all time, this classic film is a must-see. How can you go wrong with Bogart and Bergman?
Love Story
With 13 Oscar nominations and 11 victories, Love Story is one of the best love stories on film. Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal sizzle on screen.
An Affair to Remember
This 1957 movie starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr is considered by many to be the most romantic film ever. The movie was actually a remake of the 1939 flick Love Affair. If you like older movies, this one is a must-see.
Dirty Dancing
We all love this classic story of the rich girl falling for the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. And Patrick Swayze is just plain hot in this flick.
Titanic
Sure, parts of this movie are cheesy, but it's one of the top-grossing films of all time for a reason. Rose and Jack overcome class differences and find real love with each other on the Titanic.
Ghost
True love can last forever — even after death. Though Patrick Swayze's character dies early in the movie, his love for his girlfriend lives on.
Braveheart
You probably don't think of Braveheart as a romance movie, but it has plenty of it. Bonus: Your man will love this film, too.
The Notebook
Ryan Gosling made women around the country weak in the knees when he romanced Rachel McAdams in this 2004 film based on the popular Nicholas Sparks novel. True love really can last forever.
When Harry Met Sally

Pretty Woman
Who thought that a movie about a prostitute could be so romantic? Julia Roberts finds love in the form of her high-society client, Richard Gere, in this popular 1990 film.
