Better challenge: Watch them simultaneously, Chelsea Girls

Has anyone seen Valentines Day? I couldn't make much sense of the trailer. I'm wondering if any of it is worth it.
Just awesome like that
I didn't see that, but I saw New Year's Eve, so same difference, really, just replace Taylor Swift with Jon Bon Jovi. Which might be the strangest replacement ever, but hey.

I don’t know how romantic it is (well, maybe the nude wrestling scene), but I’d say Women In Love is one of my all-time favourite films. What more needs to be said of a film which begins with a speech comparing the fig fruit to a woman’s genitalia and ends with one of the main characters killing himself via hypothermia in the snow?
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!

Valentines Day was entertaining, but it felt very much like they were trying to recapture the magic of Love Actually, which is clearly the superior film of the two. Valentines Day came in too pat, while Love Actually left a few strings loose with the idea that love takes a lot of different forms, and sometimes things just don't work out, but that's OK.
I'd actually say that American Reunion isn't a bad love story once you get past the gross-out aspects of it. It's less about finding that person that sets you on fire and more about how to keep your home fires burning.

Shut up!

I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED, that nobody has mentioned Casablanca yet.
Just awesome like that
Tropers and the classics don't exactly mix.

I like Casablanca alright. I don't think the romance story is its strongest aspect, though. That honor would go to the banter and the snark.
The last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again.
I know what you mean about tropers and classics, after all Most Tropers Are Young Nerds. I'm more surprised that someone mentioned Kill Bill (serious?) but no one mentioned Titanic. In regards to that earlier question, Beauty And The Beast very much counts, as romantic that is, maybe not something that most couples could enjoy watching together.
Just awesome like that
I would say Titanic, but then there's accounting for its length, and also hundreds of people dying and all.
I will say this, though, the elderly couple that is cuddling up together just waiting to be engulfed by the water surrounding them is one of the most heartwrenching, romantic, sad things I've ever seen on film.

I'd argue that Five Hundred Days Of Summer is more of a coming-of-age film than a romance ("this is not a love story") but for all intents and purposes I endorse it regardless; it's my favorite film.
Other good romance films would be:
Also, a little request: Watch When Harry Met Sally and Five Hundred Days Of Summer together. It'd be interesting seeing the different perspectives of the films against each other.
