With Valentine's Day just around the corner, many couples will be settling in on Friday to watch a romantic movie with their special someone. Sadly, more often than not, you will be stuck watching some romantic comedy starring some woman who claims she's smart, but her life is incomplete without a man, so she tries to get a man, but acts really stupid...and you die a little bit more inside. Fear not friends! The good news is that not all romantic comedies are "chick flicks." There are some amazing rom-coms such as classics movies like Annie Hall and When Harry Met Sally. Or there are the more recent indie hits like (500) Days of Summer and Safety Not Guaranteed. These movies show that rom-coms have a long history of excellent films that couples can enjoy together. But this Valentine's Day, why not do something a little different? Ladies! You can impress your man by showing a movie he will actually enjoy. Men! You can show your woman that you are well-versed in cinema and show her a movie she's never heard of. And if you're a gay couple, this list has something for you too. Here are lesser known comedies that even guys will enjoy.
