Romance and movies

The most romantic Blu-ray Disc movies for a great night in on Valentine’s Day.

Wondering what to do this Valentine’s Day? How about cuddling up on the sofa with one of these classic heart-warming Blu-ray Disc movies?

Jerry Maguire

Tom Cruise will turn your heart to mush in this Oscar nominated rom-com about a sports agent who, when stripped of his friends, family, job, and fiancé is forced to start all over again.

With a little help from his only remaining client, pro football star Cuba Gooding Jnr, Renee Zellweger’s single mother and her son, Cruise soon begins to understand the only real values that matter in the world. A real tearjerker.

50 First Dates

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore team up for this romantic comedy that sees Sandler - a marina veterinarian afraid to commit to a relationship – fall for Barrymore’s Lucy, who lost her short term memory in a car accident and believes every day is October 13th.

Cue Sandler’s touching and funny quest to help try and restore her memory, or at least be a part of her everyday routine and, hopefully someday, a part of her life. Be ready to laugh cry, and laugh some more!  A Valentine’s movie with a touching twist.

Dirty Dancing

The original 80’s girlie movie, Dirty Dancing inspired a generation, spawned a sequel and even a stage show musical. Patrick Swayze sets hearts fluttering as Johnny Castle, a dance instructor at Catskills summer camp in 1963 America who sweeps Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman off of her feet.

Naturally, trouble ensues and Baby must decide to obey her parents or follow her heart in this toe-tapping classic that has never looked better in High Definition. Remember, nobody puts Baby in the corner, especially not on Valentine’s Day.

Mr & Mrs Smith

A romantic comedy with bullets - lots of bullets - Mr & Mrs Smith is a hilarious action romp with a heart of gold that was not only a box office sensation, it’s responsible for pairing up Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, making for the perfect Valentine’s day cuddle up and watch.

Pitt and Jolie are the Smiths, two seemingly everyday folk who soon find out they’re both work for rival assassin agencies and receive orders from above to bump each other off. Cue bullet action, steamy smooching and an action packed journey designed to rekindle that loving feeling.

Pretty Woman

A modern day rags-to-riches story with the superb Julia Roberts in an Oscar nominated performance and the brilliant Richard Gere, Pretty Woman is a both a classic piece of cinema as well as being a timeless heart warmer.

Roberts plays Vivian Ward, a woman worlds apart from Gere’s straight laced Edward Lewis, who teaches him a lesson or two about love while he teaches her about the finer things in life. Brimming with passion, humour and two unforgettable performances, this is romantic comedy at its finest.

Enchanted

Another perfect Valentine’s movie, Enchanted is a classic Disney animated film brought to life in the real world when princess Giselle, played brilliantly by Amy Adams, is banished by Susan Sarandon’s evil queen from her magical, musical and very animated land.

Finding herself on the gritty streets of New York City in the modern day, she is rescued by Patrick Dempsey’s divorce lawyer and soon begins to fall deeply in love with him, despite already promising her heart to a fairytale prince. It’s all your favourite Disney movies brought lovingly to life in a classic love story!
