Every year, I would list cute Valentine’s Day movies that are not part of the regular Valentine’s Day movie list! Here are five movies I recommend if you want to watch some light-hearted early to mid-1990s romance.
Defending Your Life (1991):
Starring and Directed by Albert Brooks, Starring Meryl Streep, Rip Torn, and Lee Grant. Ever since I was eight years old, I have admired Albert Brooks movies. It made me think that when we all die, we have to defend our lives to move on to the next phase…whatever that is.
Frankenhooker (1990)
Starring James Lorniz and Patty Mullen. This is probably my favorite version of Frankenstein. Directed by Frank Henelotter (who is one of my favorite directors). Jeffrey (who is played by James Lorniz) is heartbroken that his fiancee Elizabeth (played by Patty Mullen) has died in a freak lawn mower accident. So he decides the best way to regain his love is by reconstructing her!
Boomerang (1992):
Starring Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry, Grace Jones and David Alan Grier. Eddie Murphy stars as Marcus Graham, an advertising executive. Who is a bit of a woman’s man who meets his match with his boss?
The First Wives Club (1996):
Starring Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton and is directed by Robert Harling. Four lifelong friends have winded down to three. They all reexamined their life choices up to this point and took their power and lives back.
The Cutting Edge (1992):
Starring D.B. Sweeny and Moira Kelly. This was one of my childhood movies. I watched the VHS tape so much that I think I wore it out. So it’s surprising that the last time I saw this movie, I was probably 11 years old.
What movies do you usually watch during this time to get you in the Valentine’s Day mood? Comment below!!

With Valentine’s Day upon us I decided to make a list of movies to watch while you snuggle up with that special someone. I decided to spice up the list a little so they are not your ordinary romantic movies.
My Bloody Valentine (1981)- this is the few horror movies that is actually centered on Valentine’s Day, teens and gas masks.
The Bride of Frankenstein (1931)- If you can’t find the perfect your soulmate go with option B. Build one!
Der Fan (1982)- When you want more that your favorite singer’s autograph opt to go this route.
Harold and Maude (1971)- love does not know age or limitations. Director Hal Ashby reminds us in this movie that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and the power of love.
Only the lonely (1991)- Sometimes you have to grow up a little in order to fall in love.
