Hello everyone! I know What to Watch usually focuses on TCM’s programming, but this week I’m going to do something a little bit different. In honor of the impending hallmark holiday, I’ve whipped up a list video: 10 things you may want to watch for Valentine’s Day.
Also, as a bonus, here are a couple of quizzes that Netflix sent on their DVD envelopes, so you can find out which two rom-com characters are most like you:

(To satisfy those of you with curious minds, when I took these quizzes I got Sam and Maggie.)
And finally, I will leave you with a selection of my favorite strange and punny vintage valentine cards:









Oh, c’mon now…the ‘freedom of the press’ card was outstanding! And I was Sam in the first quiz, and a draw in the second (I had an ‘I don’t know’ for one of the questions). And of your video recommendations, without a doubt, ‘Roman Holiday’.
And as for my pick for a romantic film, I think I’d go with ‘Notorious’. Or at least, the ending of ‘Notorious’.
