When it comes to romatic movies, there really needs to be two different classifications.

Those you watch with your male spouse and those you watch with your girlfriends. The truth that no one likes to admit is that some movies are just beter to watch with your girlfriends.

Is your guy going to sit with you for a Gone With The Wind viewing – more than three hours of Viven Leigh being vivacious, vicious and strong during the cival war and reconstruction era? Can you say that about a Bette Davis or Meg Ryan film fest?

And can’t we women say the same about the Predator series or a collection of Mel Gibson’s work that features his bloddiest and most violent work? Explosions and car chases all night is not that exciting unless it is Thelma and Louise getting back at the system.

While what follows is a list of movies that I think are good for couples to watch together on Valentine’s Weekend, it is certainly not written in stone.

10. Bringing Up Baby (1938)

9. Why Did I Get Married (2007)

8. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

7. Return to Me (2000)

6. Brown Sugar (2002)

5. When Harry Met Sally… (1989)

4. Tin Cup (1996)

3. Forget Paris (1995)

2. Bull Durham (1998)

1. Casablanca (1942)
