If you need more help in the movie search department for the upcoming Valentine’s Day celebration, then let Cupid’s arrow head in the direction of these excellent choices:
13 Going on 30 (2004)
Ever wish to be grown up when you were young? Thirteen year old Jenna wishes to be thirty years old, so her life will be exactly what she envisions it to be. Jenna gets her wish but then discovers the simple truth- be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. A delightful Jennifer Garner stars with Mark Ruffalo in this sweet and romantic modern day fairytale (well almost).
An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)
Zack and Paula meet and life will never be the same for either one of them. Enter the world of a naval aviator and the woman who captures his heart. Go back in time and fall in love!
The Notebook (2004)
Based on a book by bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, nobody does romance like this man! It is 1940.

What follows is a bittersweet love story that will have you shedding a few tears.
Top Gun (1986)
