Fearless Fave Five: The Best Romantic Movies for Valentine’s Day

After 38 years of marriage, my wife and I still love sitting together and watching some of our favorite movies about love. While we both have different tastes, sometimes she gives in to watching my favorites. But, most of the time I give in to watching her favorites.

So what does the movie have to be about in order to qualify as a motion picture about love? For me, it has to be about just that, LOVE. While most movies I've experienced deal with either heartbreak or the loss of a loved one, my favorite film of all time is "The Notebook".

Yes, I know it is sad, and it is not one of my wife's favorite movies. She's sat through it a few times over the past 20 years. Nonetheless, I take much pride in knowing what my wife's top five favorite romantic movies are.

I firmly believe that if you're going to be in a relationship forever you must know his or her favorite color, favorite food, favorite coffee flavor, and favorite sweater. You must also know your sweetheart's favorite movie.

Here are my Fearless Fave Five romantic movies. One film we both dearly love although it is an old movie (from 1957). We own all our favorites on both VCR tape and  DVD. As I was loading the trailer for "The Notebook" it started playing and I started crying. Wow!
