Romantic Movies for Valentine's Day
Publish on Friday, 5 February 2016 in Events
It’s a blessing that, in the midst of all our daily hassles, Valentine's Day comes along to remind us of what’s most important in our lives. February 14th offers the golden opportunity for lovers to reaffirm their commitment and enjoy a moment of sharing. On the occasion of the month of love, the Cler Hotel recommends a selection of movies that simply have to be seen while snuggled up close to that special person in your life!
A great way to get in the mood
You’ve probably tried all the ideas proposed for lovers during Valentine's Day, such as a dinner by candlelight in a lovely restaurant, a great show, a stroll hand in hand in some idyllic location, a moonlit boat ride... But sometimes it’s the simplest things that put you in the mood for romance, such as cuddling up together to watch a movie, especially ones you’ve already enjoyed as a couple and which have sentimental value for you as you remember the circumstances in which you saw them for the first time. Here, from the Cler Hotel, are our romantic movie recommendations!
Films for all tastes and for all ages
Rebellious spirits meet with pleasure in Dirty Dancing, the iconic story of people from different backgrounds meeting up and falling hard. Relive this classic from the 80s that pulses with great 60s music and afterwards you can try a few dance steps. You may not be Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, but you can pretend!
For a particularly romantic mood that calls for an entire boxful of tissues, you can’t do better than Titanic, and its irresistible theme song, Céline Dion's ‘My Heart Will Go On’. You'll find yourself clinging together as you relive the eternal love embodied in the characters played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
And if you remember your first love, how can you resist the delights of La Boum (The Party), a hugely popular French film from 1980 that reminds us all what it was like to be on the cusp of those teenage years and finding love where you least expect it? The soundtrack will make you relive those tender feelings all over again.
Put together your programme for a feast of love
Get comfortable with a well-stocked tray of snacks and settle down to watch some favourite films that make you cry and sigh. All it takes is just one or two romantic movies to make you forget all the hassles of everyday life and enjoy an evening of blissful togetherness. What could be better on Valentine’s Day? You might also discover the films that tugged the heartstrings of your parents and grandparents, including classics like Doctor Zhivago or The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. The romantic world of the silver screen beckons.
