Top 10 Chick Lits and Flicks

 
Even if your name isn’t Cinderella, every girl deserves a fairy-tale ending. Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day solo or with your sweetie, check out our top 10 fave love stories to get you revved up for romance. Whether it’s a love-hate relationship, droolin’ over an ugly dude or wanting Mr. Wrong, these stories are sure to make you laugh, cry and seriously sigh.

Romeo and Juliet
 
It doesn’t matter if you have a real life Romeo, this is the ultimate love story. Girl meets cute guy, girl falls in love with guy… So what's the snag? Their families hate each other. Romeo and Juliet must find a way to deal with their forbidden romance in a tragic tale about the loss of true love in William Shakespeare’s play. If you’re still craving some old-school English romance after this one read A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Wuthering Heights
 
Uh-oh. What happens when a guy falls in love with his best friend, who just so happens to be his adopted sister? In Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, readers travel back to 1802 where main characters Heathcliffe and Catherine discover a family secret that could change their lives forever.

Pride and Prejudice
 
I love you, but I hate you. Does this sitch sound familiar? You’re not alone. Join Elizabeth Bennet as she attempts to figure out her true feelings for Fitzwilliam Darcy in the story about their love-hate relationship. Don’t feel like reading the novel by Jane Austen? Check out the movie with Keira Knightley.

Casablanca
 
Is there anything more romantic than old movies in black and white? Prob not. That’s why this classic movie set during World War II is a chick flick must-see. Watch as Rick Blaine must decide between his love for a beautiful woman and helping her and her husband escape the small city of Casablanca for political reasons. Still in the mood for some oldies but goodies after this classic? Get swept away with Gone with the Wind.

The Notebook
 
Got a tissue box handy? We know you’re going to need it. We dare you not to cry as you watch this ultimate tearjerker about a young couple that grows old together. Whether you’re reading the book by Nicholas Sparks or watching the movie with Ryan Gossling and Rachel McAdams, the story about an elderly man reading a love story to his wife is sure to pull on your heartstrings.

Titanic
 
Behold, the king of romantic movies. Based on the true story about the infamous ship, which sank in April 1912, Titanic turns up the tears by putting a romantic twist on an already tragic ending. The typical rich girl falls for poor boy story may not be historically accurate, but it’s oh so good. The movie stars Kate Winslet and dreamboat Leonardo DiCaprio. What’s not to love?

Beauty and the Beast
 
It’s a, “tale as old as time.” This classic Disney flick brings out the princess in all of us. Belle proves that true love really is blind when she falls for the hideous, mean-spirited beast who is imprisoning her father. The story proves that you can’t judge a book by its cover – as Belle falls head over heels for the beast – who is really an enchanted prince. Aww.

Twilight
 
You know it, you love it, and you can’t get enough of it. Thank goodness the vampire love saga comes to DVD in March. Think teenage love is complicated? Try falling in love with a vampire who wants to bite you. Robert Pattinson plays Edward Cullen, a devilishly good-looking 108-year-old vampire, who makes our hearts melt. If only real boys could be more like Edward Cullen. Sigh.

10 Things I Hate About You
 
In the mood for the lighter side of love? 10 Things I Hate About You, starring Julia Stiles and the late Heath Ledger, is full of laughs. The movie, a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, is the story of feminist Kat and rebel Patrick, who are both high school outcasts. What starts as a bribe, eventually turns into a too-cute-for-words love story. Oh, and did we mention that Patrick is super hot?

Cinderella
 
Did you really think we were going to let you get away without watching the most romantic story of all time? C’mon, what girl doesn’t dream of someday finding her Prince Charming? Put yourself in Cinderella’s sparklin' glass slippers and imagine what it’s like to fall in love and live happily ever after. The end.

I love all those movies/stories EXCEPT for cinderella...
cuz what if "Prince Charming" was actually a jerk? she met him like twice before she married him... does anyone else see something VERY wrong with that?

Pride and Predjudice reminds me a little of my relationship with my BF. We used to HATE each other...but, now, not at all. And in the movie w/ Kiera Knightly, Mr. Darcy is HOT!
