9. Liked it.
I only saw a few episodes, but I've always been a fan of Ron Perlman - a much underrated actor.

7. The Princess Bride. I would say "Shakespeare in Love," but SPOILER***
It ends with them not getting together, so it's not a good Valentine's movie.

8. The Fly
Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum had a nice affair going until he got into the pod, then his body parts started falling off replaced by fly things, then he got mean and she killed him, naturally because she loved him. What greater love.
