With COVID-19 ever present, conditions aren\u2019t exactly ripe for finding romance. Even for those who already have a significant other, not all of them can be present with their partners for the holiday as distance is maintained. Regardless, one thing remains the same (besides most people running to stores the day after for the sweet victory of discount chocolates) \u2013 cheesy romantic movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are these movies so popular because of how corny they are? Or maybe because everyone can find humor in them when they watch them with close friends or their own partners. Either way, this big day of red and pink seems to keep spewing out more and more films that most people seem to watch at the expense of their own sanity sometimes. So here\u2019s a list of the \u201cbest\u201d\u2014 which stands for cheesy and even straight up ridiculous \u2013 Valentine\u2019s Day movies for you and your close friends or significant other to enjoy together. With help from the rankings of \u201cRotten Tomatoes\u201d and reviews from \u201cIMDB,\u201d this list is created with cheesiness in mind. Doesn\u2019t mean the movie is bad \u2013 just entertaining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the top of the list is \u201cThe Proposal\u201d (2009). This movie received 6.7\/10 stars on IMDB and a 44% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you want a movie with slow burn, denial of feelings and that classic fake\/pretend relationship trope, \u201cThe Proposal\u201d is perfect for you \u2013 especially with acting from Ryan Reynolds, Betty White and Sandra Bullock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that comes another \u201cclassic,\u201d the 1999 movie \u201c10 Things I Hate About You\u201d. With appearances by Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, it features the ever-famous trope of bad boy and good girl, along with huge communication errors. It holds a 69% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.3\/10 on IMDB.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, another movie does contend for the most popular usage of the bad boy and good girl trope \u2013 the unforgettable musical \u201cGrease\u201d (1978). With 7.2\/10 stars and a 75% Rotten Tomatoes score, the performances of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John make this movie worthwhile during Valentine\u2019s \u2013 not discrediting, of course, the beautiful songs included. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Mateo Biggs This year, Valentine\u2019s Day will look a little different.
