Valentine's Day

We are in the week of Valentine's Day and it doesn't seem like a suitable time for noisy celebrations where everyone mixes together. It's much more common for a romantic dinner or, given the cold weather, to spend the evening cuddled up on the sofa with your partner, wrapped in a blanket and watching a romantic movie on TV. The downside is that what the networks consider romantic movies are unbearable Turkish productions or absurd stories for brainless couples. However, there are exceptions. This year, the Cosmo channel has decided to celebrate Valentine's Day with five romantic movies, each approaching love from different perspectives.

This marathon starts on Saturday at 2:30 PM and continues until the early morning with a perfect selection to enjoy as a couple or to treat yourself to a unique moment in front of the screen. The first movie is the most traditional, within what is considered a romantic comedy: 'Nothing Hill', with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, two of the most charismatic stars of the subgenre, in the relationship between a movie star and a London bookseller. It will be followed by 'Novia por contrato', a relationship of convenience that shows that feelings do not understand agreements.

After this comes 'Carol', a minimalist gem that moves, a romance between two women that challenges post-war customs, with Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett in a state of grace. At 8:00 PM, the Oscar-winning 'La, la, land', a story of love and dreams with a sad ending, yet a joyful musical; and at 10:55 PM, 'Far and Away', with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in their happiest moments, with a love and overcoming story that starts as an adventure and continues as a western. Happy Valentine's Day.
