Full of one-liners, unique characters, death, life and love, it’s one of the rare films that encompasses most genres and appeals to many different audiences.

“Lost in Austen”

A modern twist on the novel “Pride and Prejudice,” this BBC mini-series is the perfect distraction from unworthy suitors and date duds for any woman on Valentine’s Day.

The series follows Amanda Price, a girl sick of unimpressive men and enchanted by the world in her favorite novel, “Pride and Prejudice.” When she discovers a door to the world in her bathroom, she finds the charming Mr. Darcy more frustrating than the men in her own life – at least at first glance.

The series is funny and endearing and shows that everyone makes mistakes when it comes to love, but things always work out in the end.

Runner-up: “Clueless”

If you’re in a long-distance relationship, watch…

“Ladyhawke”

The 1985 film that flew under the radar is an iconic tale for the expression “so close, yet so far away.”

Lovers Etienne Navarre and Isabeau get separated by a jealous bishop who curses the couple so they can never be together in human form. At night, Navarre transforms into a wolf, and during the day Isabeau lives as a hawk.

With the help of “The Mouse” – a thief played by Matthew Broderick – and a priest, the couple works to break the curse and finally be together.

Runner-up: “Kate and Leopold”

If you want to impress your girlfriend, watch…

“Casablanca”

Often regarded as the most famous romance film, “Casablanca” has stood the test of time and is still loved today. Suggest this movie this weekend and your girlfriend would be crazy to refuse.

In the film, Rick Blaine, his former lover Ilsa and her husband Victor Laszlo try to escape a World War II-torn country after Blaine is given stolen letters of transit that allow him to leave.

The film is full of memorable one-liners, including “I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” The film, made in 1942, was one of the first to involve an on-screen love triangle and will leave your heart hanging on your sleeve until the end.

Runner-up: “Beauty and the Beast”

If you want to make your boyfriend happy, watch…

“Top Gun”

While your boyfriend impresses you with chocolates and roses, suggest a movie he will enjoy.

“Top Gun” has often been regarded as a guy movie, but it has enough romance to work on Valentine’s Day. Pete Mitchell, or “Maverick,” is an up-and-coming fighter pilot who becomes attracted to one of his instructors at the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School.

While the aerial battles and banter may be aimed at males, there are plenty of shirtless men and romantic ballads to keep the mood alive – and enough action to keep your boyfriend’s spirits up.
