Romantic Movies for Valentine’s Day

Do you have a special date lined up for this evening? Maybe your plans include putting in a romantic DVD. If that’s the case, allow me to suggest some of my all-time favorite movies, destined to give you the warm fuzzies. Warning: these are chick flicks, but nothing says “I love you” to a girl like a guy who will sit and watch a chick flick with her. “Somewhere in Time.” This movie stars Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour as a couple who must overcome huge challenges to be together, including the biggest obstacle of all – the fact that … Continue reading →
