Romantic-ish, Valentine's Day-ish films
kokeyjoe:
I was going to mention that one (High Fidelity), but I don't think I'd recommend it necessarily as a "romantic-ish" film for Valentine's Day to someone I don't know. I mean, I think it's a good love story, all in all, but a lot of people might not like what you have to go through in the movie to get to that point.
ALoveSupreme:
I see what you mean about HF, but I do think it's a very realistic love story, and all the shit he has to go through internally makes the whole movie.
Anyways, I think I've personally decided on Annie Hall, but all the other suggestions make great sit-at-home-date-movies for non-Valentine's Day occasions! Thanks! I hadn't thought of a few of these ones.
Thrillho:
Cruel Intentions. Got borderine happy, romantic ending coupled with being the sexiest move I've ever seen despite no explicit sex scenes, so it'll serve a duel purpose.
Locke:
I second the suggestions of Clerks 2 and High Fidelity.
High Fidelity is really the best work of John Cusack I think. So much so that Nick Hornby (author of the book) made the request that Cusack play the lead in every film adaptation of his books, despite them all being set in England and Cusack being decidedly American.
Its got the performance that really made Jack Black into a star, after his scene-stealing turn as Barry (although some of the jokes don't work as well now that he's actually famous.) Tim Robbins as Ian/Ray, also brilliant here. (see: the reaction sequence, "YOU PATHETIC REBOUND FUCK!")
Clerks 2 is wonderfully vulgar, but still romantic and it has a freaking DONKEY SHOW. Talk about a Win-Win.
Valrus:
Shaun of the Dead?
