Here are my recommendations on best films to watch with your special someone:</p> <p>5.  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100405/" title="Pretty Woman">Pretty Woman</a> - It’s your traditional love story involving a rich guy and a hooker.</p> <p>4.  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/" title="Amelie on IMDb">Amelie</a> - It is French so the film scores points on that aspect alone and Audrey Tautou is the perfect blend of innocent and cute. It’s also funny, quirky, and beautifully stylized. You really can’t go wrong with this one.</p> <p>3.  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034583/" title="Casablanca on IMDb">Casablanca</a> - Gorgeous backdrop of Morocco, early days of World War II, and Humphrey friggin’ Bogart. ‘Nuff said.</p> <p>2.  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088128/" title="Sixteen Candles on IMDb">Sixteen Candles</a> - Two words: Jake Ryan.</p> <p>1.  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120591/" title="Armageddon on IMDb">Armageddon</a> - It’s a story about a father’s love for his daughter. A story about two young lovers. And the story about a group of individuals who love everyone enough to travel into space to stop a gigantic asteroid from destroying the planet. Yeah, it’s pretty much the greatest love story ever told.</p> <p>Happy Valentines’ Day everyone!</p>http://chadisrad.com/post/17608364686http://chadisrad.com/post/17608364686Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:22:33 -0500valentine's dayvalentineromanticmovies<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz4e3s2BBq1qgw9leo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz4e3s2BBq1qgw9leo2_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz4e3s2BBq1qgw9leo3_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: 3 issue mini-series from Marvel</p>http://chadisrad.com/post/17398582880http://chadisrad.com/post/17398582880Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:12:10 -0500indiana jonescomicsmarvel<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxpjuXvM11qfdrldo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fuckyeahspaceexploration.tumblr.com/post/17116617492/felix-baumgartner-is-set-to-become-the-first"></a></p> <p>Felix Baumgartner is set to become the first person to break the sound barrier in free-fall when he attempts to jump out of a balloon at the edge of space.
