At least that is how it is in those cheesy, heartwarming, feel good love stories that always seem to flash across our screens every couple of weeks. Here’s a list of those cuddly, feel good flicks that leave you with a smile at the end of the DVD spin. It’s by no top five—I have no authority on that matter. Let’s call it five recommendations to share in the love with. Stay tuned. Tomorrow, we’ll have a list of the five recommendations for those love-lorn looking for a heartwrenching story. Or perhaps an excuse to curl up to your honey with.

Amelie- The story is about a Parisian waitress on a quest to change the world in her own, small yet magical way. We see her grow and live, searching for love. After discovering a box, she sets out to find the owner all the while following the intriguing man who collects discarded photo-booth photos. Quirky and eclectic. Amelie is a magical film that leaves anyone who watches it feeling a bit lighter.

'The American President' Movie Poster, courtesy of IMDB.com

The American President-Written by Aaron Sorkin, the masterful writer of the West Wing, the film takes a new twist on boy meets girl as boy is the most powerful man on the planet and girl is a lobbyist. Yet, with quick-witted dialogue and a grand gesture at the climax that leaves you cheering for the President (a common occurrence lately), the film is a simply done and underrated love story.

'The Philadelphia Story' Movie Poster, courtesy of IMDB.com

The Philadelphia Story-Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart. The trifecta of the classic great actors, in an offbeat story about finding yourself and where you belong. Hepburn plays Tracy Lord, a socialite with a holier-than-thou exterior. The eve of her remarriage, her ex-husband Dexter (Grant) shows up with a tabloid reporter (Stewart) and as hijinx happen, Tracy Lord begins to discover herself—and where her heart lies.

The Princess Bride-Princess, pirates, villains and wizards decorate this lively tale of true love. The film is framed by a Grandfather reading to his sick grandson, but the heart of the film lies in Westley’s pursuit to return and ultimately rescue his beloved Princess Buttercup before she’s forced to marry the creepy Prince Humperdink. He faces the fire swamps, pirates, Rodents of Unusual Size, giants, torture and even death—all for true love. It’s a fairytale for those who like their fairytales told in an off-kilter, humorous way.

'Beauty and the Beast' Film Poster, courtesy of IMDB.com

Beauty and the Beast-Let’s face it. Disney does it best. Crafted and released in 1992, this beautiful story about looking beyond appearances to discover love in the most unlikely places is an animated masterpiece. Belle falls in love with the beast, ensconced by classic music and iconic images. Ultimately, it’s every girl’s dream—to find Prince Charming. He’s just hiding under the fur. Look harder.
