Favorite Romantic Movie?

I'm having a ME day today since my guy abandoned me for some fishing on a frozen lake. :grumble: I want to watch a movie and would love to watch a girly romantic one (since I never get to watch them with my boys around). I have a bunch of favorites and was wondering if I'd missed any... so in honor of this lovely heart day...

What's your favorite romantic movie? Serious, or comedy, sappy or tragic... doesn't matter.

I'm doing better today than I was before he left. He had this trip planned since December and all we knew was it was on the long weekend (there's a new holiday here on Monday just to give us a long weekend between xmas and easter - so great!). He didn't realize until later that the long weekend landed on Vday. I was pretty upset because it is our first vday and I've never really had a really good one in my life so I was hopeful this year... only to be supremely disappointed.

But I'm having a me day! I started by sleepin in til 10 (still not dressed and who cares anyway?). Made myself a big egg and toast breakfast (no hashbrowns or bacon though - that would have been awesome but regretful). Ate my big breakfast in bed ON HIS SIDE with my toast crumbs and all! LOL :laugh: (but to be honest I will be washing my sheets today anyway so he'll never know. The revenge is fleeting and for me only - which is how it should be anyway). I think I will walk to the bank and the store. I'll make something yummy for supper that my boys would NEVER eat if they were here. And I have lots of things to do for me. The movie thing is right up there, if I decide on one. I have "A Good Earth" that I need to crack open and start reading plus I've downloaded the podcasts of Oprah discussing the book chapter by chapter with Eckardt Tolle so I can really study the book - definitely on my list of to-dos in the near future. I have cards and letters I can write to my friends and family who I left behind 8 months ago to be with this "great guy" I love so much (I'm not that bitter really, just being extra sarcastic cuz it makes me feel better). And I love to cross stitch and have a new one on the go which I've neglected for a couple of weeks.

I enjoy the company of me. It's not a terrible day really. I just hope he makes up for it next week. I deserve some romance and pampering!!!

Thanks for the love. :flowerforyou:

Oh Memaw I'm sorry your hubby flaked out on you - but the day's not over! You never know! Seriously though, I know how you feel. I was engaged once and with him for 5 years and he never did anything for me. I think the last year was the best for us - he got me a card finally. But his idea of a romantic movie (which we watched on at least 2 of the 5 Valentines Days together) was Scarface... he said it was romantic because of the relationship between Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer - ummm.... sure... okay! Anyway, point is, I feel your pain. Just remember that we love you! And you love you! If I were you, I'd find out what time he was coming home and purposely go out at that time so he comes home to an empty house - even if it's to go for a walk or run an errand. And leave a Vday card or a note for him saying Happy Vday. If he truly isn't doing anything for you, maybe he'll feel like an a**.

Anyway, these movie choices are all awesome - some of my favourites have been listed and there's some new ones I hadn't seen so there's a good list so far. Forgot totally to name my own favorites! Here they are:

Under the Tuscan Sun (I own it and LOVE it - makes me inspired to always remain independent and self-loving)
Notting Hill (so funny and so heart warming)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (weird at first, but the story is amazing - they are truly meant to be together)
Brigette Jones's Diary (first one - oooh, Colin Firth & Hugh Grant - but mostly Colin Firth! )
Love Actually (Colin Firth and Hugh Grant again!)
And my all time favorite movie - The Philadelphia Story (1939) with Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart.
