Celebrate Valentine’s Day with some true romance classics. Snuggle up with a loved one and celebrate the day at home with great movies. It will also work for some of you with loved ones out of reach. Happy Valentine’s Day.

1. Love Actually

Everywhere you look, love is causing chaos. From the bachelor Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who, on his first day at 10 Downing Street, falls in love with the girl who brings him his tea, to a hopeless sandwich delivery guy who doesn’t think he has a chance with the girls in the U.K., so he heads for Wisconsin.

From aging rock stars, to a stony headmistress, to a monolingual Portuguese housemaid--love arrives in many forms, shapes and sizes.

Here, ten separate--but intertwining--stories of love all lead up to a big climax on Christmas Eve, proving that love is the driving force in all of these people’s lives.
