It’s Valentine’s Day night and both you and your man have just got back home from eating a really expensive dinner at some swanky restaurant OR from some other awesome date OR maybe you and him are already at home because he wanted to cook you a romantic dinner for a change.
Bottom line, you two are at home and Valentine’s Day is coming to the end. Why not finish the night cuddling up on the couch watching a ridiculously cheesy but cute and romantic film?
*WARNING: Your man will probably HATE the films you want to watch but since Valentine’s Day comes once a year, I’m sure he’ll suck it up, and endure any film with excessive close ups of Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum, or cliche quotes and painfully embarrassing confessions of love.
Here are 10 cheesy but cute films you and your guy can watch together which include the classics, the comedies, and the “I-can’t-believe-this-was-actually-made-into-a-film” movies.
Warm Bodies
Warm Bodies is a symbolic movie about how love is the one thing that can never die. This film is a paranormal love story between a highly unusual zombie named R and human named Julie. In a futuristic era where the human race is on the verge of extinction, we have zombies and a few human survivors trying to make a living. While R is scavenging for food, he meets a survivor named Julie and saves her from a zombie attack. “As the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human – setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world.”-Facebook page Warm Bodies
Simply Irresistible
In this film, a terrible New York City chef named Amanda Sheldon (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is on the verge of losing her family restaurant until one day at a Farmers market, after purchasing a basket of pinky-toe crabs, one magical crab that avoids getting cooked works wonders on her culinary skills leading her toward the man of her dreams. This movie has a little bit of bewitched magic, a lot of love, and many mouthwatering food dishes and desserts to drool over. Who knew crustaceans could help you find true love? (Then again, there is the film The Little Mermaid).

The Wedding Date
The Wedding Date centers around the anxiety stricken single woman Kat Ellis (Debra Messing), who returns to her parents’ London home for her younger sister’s wedding (Amy Adams). Afraid of confronting her ex-fiancé, who dumped her two years before, she hires a very in-high-demand-and-popular male escort (Dermot Mulroney) to pose as her new boyfriend. You’ll soon find she isn’t the only one keeping secrets in her family.
Tangled
When the kingdom’s most wanted-and most charming-bandit Flynn Rider hides out in a mysterious tower, he’s taken hostage by Rapunzel, a beautiful and aggressive girl with 70 feet of magical hair. In search for a way to escape the tower she has been locked up in for years, she strikes a deal with the thief and the duo set off on an “action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs.” This has the cutest heart-wrenching ending ever. If you love fairy tales, then you’ll definitely enjoy this movie.

500 Days of Summer
Okay so this is probably the one filrm your man will actually like watching with you! This isn’t film is NOT a love story. However, it is a story about love. This film highlights everything about what we think love is. It is a story about a young man, named Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who falls in love with a young woman named Summer, (Zooey Deschanel), who doesn’t believe true love exists at all. Within those 500 days, Tom learns something about himself, and about love, that he never understood before. You will either love or hate this film, (depending if you sympathize with Tom or Summer).
The Proposal
A Canadian immigrant (Sandra Bullock) who is known as the bossy b*tch in her workplace is faced with the news that she’s about to be deported back to Canada. In a moment of desperation, she rushes into a fake marriage with her young assistant (Ryan Reynolds) and threatens to fire him if he does not comply. A funny, romantic comedy which will leave you laughing because of additional actors such as Betty White or thankful you get to see Reynolds amazing, bare, ripped chest and abs.

Twilight
The film adapted from Stephanie Meyer’s book, Twilight, centers around a teenage girl named Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who moves to Forks Washington to live with her Dad after her mother remarries and meets named Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) who she develops an interest in. However, Edward isn’t just an ordinary boy. She discovers he is a vampire and a new relationship begins. He’s rich, kind, romantic, and very over protective. However, not all vampires approve of their new romance. Super cheesy film. Horrible screen play. But an ideal romance story. Who wouldn’t want their man to express some Edward Cullen behavior?
The Notebook
A valentine’s movie night could not be complete without a Nicholas Sparks film. The film, The Notebook, adapted from the book, is a total classic. It begins with an old man reading a romantic love story to another elderly woman. The story centers around how a lower class boy named Noah (Ryan Gosling) falls in love with an upper-class young lady Allie (Rachel McAdams) and they enjoy a wonderful summer romance. However, due to their social differences and some interference by some meddling family members, they become separated for years until they meet again years later where, Noah learns that Allie is about to marry someone else. It’s unbelievable and almost disgusting how much bittersweet romance is packed into this film. You will cry. And everyone loves the steamy “kiss in the rain” scene and the lovemaking that follows, as well as the interesting twist that underlies the whole film from beginning to end.

However, the main star which this film revolves around is Gigi, (Ginnifer Goodwin), “a young woman who repeatedly misinterprets the behavior of her romantic partners.” When she befriends a bar owner named Alex (Justin Long), he shows her the ins-and-outs of men’s strategies of avoiding women so that she can learn to interpret the signals. However, her cluelessness ends up backfiring on both herself and Alex which makes them both have life changing epiphanies.
