This is another great film to make you laugh! Duo Harry and Lloyd go on an adventure to return a lost suitcase. This duo will have you in stitches throughout the film.

6. Alice in Wonderland

Disney has done two amazing versions of this classic but I always prefer the Tim Burton version. Alice shows you that you can be a strong individual and be single at the same time. You don’t have to be in a relationship to go on adventures.

7. Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass

This film is just as good as its first. Filled with an all star cast, this film reunites you with all your favourite characters from the prequel and takes you back to wonderland one last time in order to help out the Mad Hatter.

10. Despicable Me

This brilliant film will make you laugh and want to watch it over and over again. Filled with mischievous acts, Gru learns the importance of being good when three children turn his life upside down.

11. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Another great Tim Burton production on a classic story. When Charlie Bucket wins a tour to the famous Wonka factory, Charlie and his grandfather embark on the tour of a lifetime. Full of adventure, this film is a great one to make you forget all about Valentine’s Day and want to eat nothing but chocolate.

12. Insidious

For me, the best films to watch during Valentine’s day is horror films. No loved up couples, just great films that put you on the edge of your seat. In Insidious, when their child becomes haunted by an evil spirit, their parents do anything and everything they can to save him.

13. Insidious 2

The prequel leaves you on such a cliffhanger, you can’t help but watch more. After the showdown in the prequel, the Lamberts lives are still in serious danger. By pursuing the past, they try to put an end to the chaos that is destroying their lives.

A great horror classic. In order to get into the head of the famous “Hannibal the Cannibal”, top student Clarice Starling tries talking this killer in order to release information about a former criminal on the loose.
