Romantic-ish, Valentine's Day-ish films
mer:
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, and I really want to say Love Actually even though it is really cliche
fish across face:
Yeah, Eternal Sunshine is pretty good for mooshy vibes but not being too lame. If anything it's kinda ambiguous in tone, but still nice. My only warning, while I think it is straightforward, it's definitely not as straightforward as Amelie.
I'd second Punch Drunk Love too, but mainly because both these movies have Jon Brion soundtracks... Punch Drunk Love was pretty cold and distant, I thought... but maybe I thought too much. I think I left the theatre after Eternal Sunshine feeling more like cuddling.
Edit: just realised I recommended a Jim Carey movie and an Adam Sandler movie! You probably know the movies and, even if you haven't seen them, know that neither are really comedies, definitely not involving slapstick or poo jokes or anything, anyway.

Damn straight! Oh, and Titus Andronicus. Seriously!
(Okay, try the recent movie version of A Midsummer Nights Dream (the one with Stanley Tucci) and the 1993 version of Much Ado About Nothing.)

This one's a little schmaltzy, but I still unabashedly love it anyway, "What Dreams May Come." As I've aged a bit since it came out, I get a little skeptical of Robin Williams' over-acting in the film, as well as some of the just plain odd dialogue at times, but the visuals are amazing, the story is full of emotion, and the soundtrack to this day can still make me cry like I've got a skinned knee.
It's hard for me to think of any more while I'm at work, but I'll post again if I see anything when I get home.
Edit: I'm not sure if I'd recommend this for Valentine's Day, but "Solaris" was an oddly endearing sci-fi romance film. I really liked that one a lot and it left me with an incredible sense of longing.

Tru dat!
You're safe with pretty much -any- John Cusack movie. That man is wonderful. Chocolat would maybe also be a good one...I don't rather remember, as I was more interested in staring at Johnny Depp then worrying about the story line :cough:
Anyway, here's a list done by VH1 (You know you can trust them, they are like...the GODS of lists): http://www.vh1.com/movies/news/articles/1496646/feature.jhtml
