Valentine's Day is celebrated with one's beloved. Valentine's Day or February 14th is traditionally celebrated as the lovers' day all over the world.

Amongst the most popular traditions that are followed are, the exchange of gifts, exchange of Valentine cards and flowers, and exchange of vows for eternal love. Valentine's Day also means many new movies and music albums to make the occasion more memorable. Valentine's Day movies celebrate love in their own unique way.

The tradition of having Valentine's Day movies to celebrate the occasion is ages old. Top classic romantic movies of all times include the following:

When Harry Met Sally (1989)
It's the brisk witty script, the charm of the two leads at their youthful comic best, and the sincerity of a relationship that is founded in years of friendship that lifts this classic rom-com above all the others. From the fake orgasm scene to Harry Connick Jnr's soundtrack, this puts the good feeling into feel-good movies, and the great laughs prevent the touching moments from ever getting schmaltzy.

Dirty Dancing (1987)
Fifties bad-boy rebel falls for adorable young girl in a world of great cars, sexy bodies, mesmerizing dance moves and one of the best movie soundtracks ever. Throw in some comic relief (the sister's audition is cinema gold), some earnest issues about sex, gender, class and equality, and glorious Patrick Swayze who manages to be both hot and cool at the same time - and this movie wholeheartedly deserves its cult status. Best served with watermelon.

The Princess Bride (1987)
As the grandfather says, this fabulous fairytale has everything: 'fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...'. Too sexy, self-conscious and self-satirising to be shunted off as a kids' flick, The Princess Bride boasts a stellar cast, a taut and brilliantly funny script, and a love story guaranteed to win the heart of the most Savage young critic. An absolute gem.

The Wedding Singer (1998)
Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler didn't quite recapture the magic in 50 First Dates, but the balance of comedy and romance and the on-screen chemistry is perfection here. Slapstick, seductive, sweet and sincere, these two couldn't be funnier or more lovable together, and the 80s music and fashion and fantastic character and cameo roles round out what really is a great romantic musical comedy.

Can't Hardly Wait (1998)
A little bitter, a little jaded, a little cute and a little heartfelt: a cast of mostly unknowns (at the time) fell into this ensemble comedy about finishing high school, coming of age, and getting it on. Everyone (including the audience) will find someone to love in this film, whether it's the darkly comic friend, the sex-crazy virgin, the wide-eyed hero, the stripper angel, or that random kleptomaniac kid.

Lady Hawke (1985)
This strangely beautiful and unexpected movie is rich in romance, but also steeped in epic action, medieval battle, flights of fancy, and Matthew Broderick falling over a lot. Turning on a terrible curse keeping the mysterious lovers apart where Michelle Pfeiffer never looked so lovely and Rutger Hauer never so deliciously dark and dangerous, Lady Hawke is a grim, grand and gorgeous love story.

Pretty Woman (1990)
You can't go wrong with a modern Cinderella rewrite: everyone wants to either meet a handsome prince or have the chance to sweep someone off their feet, right? Richard Gere actually plays the piano, Julia Roberts flashes that stunning smile, and the sex is steamy - plus you know there's bound to be a happy-ever-after. Rags to riches is always beguiling: if only there were more unattached dreamy millionaires to go around.

Love Actually (2003)
Love stories can often become very insular and self-involved, and some enterprising writers combat this with lovely anthology films that link up lots of little tales about different kinds of love. This is the still the pick of such movies, with the who's who of British cinema jostling for charm awards, a strong clever script, and a poignant respect for love being a bigger emotion than any simple boy-meets-girl tale.

Romancing the Stone (1984)
Action-packed, laugh-loaded and sexy as hell: romance writer meets rakish adventurer, and high jinx and gun-fights are sure to follow. Back when Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner were the hottest screen couple in rom-com land, this '80s delight shot onto the screen and into our hearts.

While You Were Sleeping (1995)
Lovable girl next door meets man of her dreams only to discover his brother is cuter and funnier - this fun little film panders to everyone's most mild-mannered romantic hopes and desires, plus it has some Christmas feel-good fun!
