Valentine's Day is around the corner and those bitten by the cupid are putting together lists of their favorite romantic flicks. But if you are unable to do so, Monalisa Sengupta helps you with some of the most sought-after films that went on to create history. So what's your pick this Valentine's?
SILSILA
Sure this one's about unrequited love and an extra-marital affair, but do watch this one to feel the romance, quite literally. Be it the sizzling Amitabh-Rekha chemistry, the baritone "Mein aur meri tanhai" or the lilting songs "Yeh Kahan aa gaye hum", "Neela aasman"—this ones guaranteed to give you the goose bumps.
NOTTING HILL
This mush movie has the perfect toss up--heart warming romance, great one liners (can't miss the oh-so perfect pick-up lines) and Julia Roberts. Note: This one's quite a favourite with the men too. Don't believe us, well then grab the DVD and cozy up for a watch. We promise an evening to remember.
WHEN HARRY MET SALLY
A perfect watch for all those friends who've yet to figure their love. This Meg Ryan favourite is your best bet to tell your bum-chum pal that's there is more to the magic you share. Billy Crystal builds the other half of this toe-curling romantic flick.
AS GOOD AS IT GETS
For quirky romantic movies, the starrer Jack-Nicholson and Helen Hunt starer is acutally as good as it gets. "You make me wanna be a better man" is perfect as far as one-liners go. Try it on your girl to see the effect it has. Better still cuddle up and watch this unconventional yet warm love story.
DIRTY DANCING
It's hard to find a woman who's not swooned to this Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze starrer. So get into a corner and grab this flick for some swooning romantic moments. 'Ditto' did we hear you say?
