Top 5 Valentine’s Day movies dads will love

February 12, 2011 by James Dunsford Leave a Comment

It's Valentine's Day and you don't have any plans. No time to get a reservation at the restaurant your wife loves and not enough culinary prowess to whip up something creative. However, all is not lost. Some women may be happy enough to sit at home and watch a romantic movie, and if that's the case – you're in luck. (If not, enjoy the couch.)

Still, the movie choice is important, and while you may want to watch My Bloody Valentine, chances are scaring the pants off her is not the best way to get in them. But that doesn't mean there aren't romantic flicks you both can enjoy.

1. The Wedding Singer. All men love Adam Sandler, and this was one of his best movies before his career took a nose dive. The heartwarming tale of Sandler's loveable Robbie Heart and Drew Berrymore's Julia is enough to melt any girls heart, and there's plenty sophomoric humor to keep you both laughing.

2. Chasing Amy. This 1997 movie stars a young Ben Affleck as a straight guy trying to woo a lesbian (Joey Lauren Adams). It's the perfect fit for guys who love Kevin Smith films (Mallrats, Clerks, Dogma) yet also has a surprising emotional depth that will be perfect for V-day.

3. Jerry Maguire. It spawned a ubiquitous catch phrase and launched the acting career of Cuba Gooding Jr., but at it's core is a classic love story between a hot shot agent (Tom Cruise) and his assistant (Renee Zellweger).

4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Men will watch it for the cast (Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell, mostly) but it is one of the few movies that can pull at your heart strings in a hilarious way. Everyone can empathize with Peter (Jason Segel), a musician struggling to get over his painful breakup.

5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Perhaps one of the best movies of the last decade, this Jim Carey-Kate Winslet romantic fantasy is equal parts comedy and tragedy but you and your wife will both be smiling when it's over.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.

Decoding Dad’s Mental Load with Zach Watson
byPaul Banas

In this episode of Great Dad Talks, guest Zach Watson dives deep into the often-misunderstood topic of “mental load” in modern partnerships and parenting. Zach, known for his educational and relatable takes on invisible labor in relationships, shares how the mental and emotional workload disproportionately impacts women—often in ways that go unrecognized by men.

Whether you’re struggling with household challenges, feeling disconnected from your partner, or just want to strengthen your role as a dad and partner, this episode is for you.
