Valentine's Day
Now unless my sources are wrong, Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Personally it's not really that big a deal (which is perhaps why I'm dateless tomorrow :P), but I think we've established the fact that often my opinions do not reflect the majority view of the opposite gender, same gender, or even, the same race. However, if I may offer an alternate opinion (because the use of the word advice seems so pretentious), you don't really need to go all out on Valentine's Day expense wise. Often, a box of chocolates, a heartfelt written expression of your affection (which doesn't neccessarily have to be poetic) and a quiet night at home somewhere with just the two of you watching a suitably romantically themed movie is the perfect way to spend Valentine's Day with your significant other. Here are my top 3 romantic movies (in ascending order):
3)You've Got Mail - A modern remake of Shoe Around the Corner, retold in a more modern setting. The backdrop is a fancuful New York in the fall; flower stands, friendly mom and pop stores and trendy cafes, sprinkled with fallen maple leaves. The whole atmosphere of the movie is lighthearted with a whimsical almost child like quality to their email correspondence. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan keep up the chemistry evident in Sleepless in Seatle.
2) When Harry Met Sally - A guy and girl meet and get to know each other on a long ride down to New York, and keep bumping into each other throughout the course of their life (destiny?). Billy Crystal is his own loveable self while Meg Ryan is adorable. Even though Billy Crystal gets all the good lines, Meg Ryan does have her moments (aka the infamous orgasm scene), and theres a genuine likeability for the characters.
1)10 Things I Hate About You - A modern retelling of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, set in a modern US high school, with cracking dialogue, the right touch of comedy and characters that you just want to see end up together.
Have a great Valentine's Day lovers :P

He was still in love with his ex-wife, who divorced him for another man. And the movers knew before he did! I wouldn't want to meet a guy who can still smile after that :P
