A Six Pack Of... Romantic Movies to Watch on Valentine's Day!


Sarah: Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Let’s work on making the magic seem a little more magical with A Six Pack Of…Romantic Movies to Watch on Valentine's Day! These are the six movies that, if we had the time today, we’d pop into the Blu-ray player and enjoy together on this romantic day.


1.) Pride & Prejudice (2005) – starring Keira Knightley & Matthew Macfadyen 

S: We start with not only one of my favorite romantic movies but one of my favorite movies of all time! This is the perfect movie for those who love a classic story. I mean, c’mon, it’s like the original rom-com! There’s nothing like two individuals who misunderstand each other but in the end, after a whole slew of mishaps, find out that they really are perfect for each other! And when you put it under the perfect veil of the British, to me, it’s just perfect.

What else is so magical is the way that Pride & Prejudice is filmed. The cinematography really brings the romantic feel of this movie to life. So if this one makes your list for romantic movies, be on the lookout for the beautiful shots and scenics.

While this might not be everyone’s cup of tea, if you’re looking for something different give this beautiful film a chance.

A Six Pack Of... Our Favorite Christmas Movies!


Andrew: Hello readers! We’re back from our vacation, and while being away from the blog for a week or so has left us with less fresh content than we would have liked, we promise we’ll be hitting hard during this week. Plenty of reviews will be coming as we see the big name, Oscar worthy releases that late December brings, but we’re starting it all of today with a new Six Pack Of… just in time for Christmas!

Christmas is Sarah’s favorite holiday, and one of her absolute favorite things to do is watch Christmas movies. And naturally, with this being a movie blog, it just makes sense for us to bring you a Six Pack Of… Our Favorite Christmas Movies! We’ll each chat about our three favorite holiday films, taking turns in descending order, starting with…

6.) Gremlins (Andrew’s #3 Fav Christmas Movie) 

A: I know some people will say, “That’s not a Christmas movie!” And I know it’s a bit unorthodox, but hear me out. First and foremost, the entire film is set during Christmas time. Billy (Zach Galligan) is even given the cute-as-hell Mogwai named Gizmo as a Christmas gift from his father. But I’ll never forget the following things after watching this movie the first time as a kid: Being alternately horrified and saddened by Phoebe Cates’ Kate telling Billy the story of how her father died while pretending to be Santa Claus; how cute and awesome Gizmo is (seriously, I’ve always wanted a Mogwai); the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs scene; and the finale in the retail store where Stripe melts away like the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The movie’s a classic to begin with, the fact it takes place during Christmas qualifies it as a classic Christmas movie in my book.
