Honley celebrates Valentine's Day with The Notebook — try these classic romances to help you feel the love

"I'll never let go." "You had me at hello." "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." "Here's looking at you, kid."

Immortal lines uttered in some of the most romantic films in movie history.

Valentine's Day is around the corner — the perfect opportunity to snuggle up with a weepy romance film while scoffing your heart-shaped box of chocolates.

Honley Film club is marking the most romantic night of the year with a screening of The Notebook in the village hall at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £4, including refreshments, and are available from Taylor's Foodstore in Meltham Road, Honley Post Office, on the door or from the website.

Considered the most romantic film since James Cameron's 1997 epic Titanic, The Notebook tells the story of a love that survived the passage of time, conquered social class and is guaranteed to pull on your heartstrings.

Here's eight classic romantic movies for Valentine's Day:

1. Titanic — A three-hour, disaster-filled love story peppered with clichéd dialogue and relentless cascades of water that make you need the loo — but a bastion of romance nonetheless. The sense of dread you feel as soon as Jack and Rose find each other, knowing that a big old iceberg is about to wreck more than just the ship, makes the tragic end even harder to take. Cue big, Celine Dion-accompanied tears and desperate promises that you'll "never let go".
   

2. Dirty Dancing — Less devastating tragedy in this one, more of a fabulous soundtrack and rising jealousy as Baby practices her lifts in the lake with Johnny. But admit it, when She's Like The Wind kicks in and bad-boy Johnny drives off in a cloud of dusk, leaving Baby at the roadside, you feel that lump in the back of your throat. Luckily the finale fixes everything. "Nobody puts Baby in the
   corner." Damn straight.
   

3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind — Ever wanted to delete an ex from your memory? Pretend none of it ever happened? Well, this actually happens in Eternal Sunshine... and the results are an emotional rollercoaster exploring love, life, taking chances and the heartbreaking realisation that some relationships are simply worth the pain. Watch Kate Winslet go from Titantic's 'poor little rich girl' to Clementine, a wild-haired, enigmatic beauty who mesmerises Joel (Jim Carey) — with poetic results.
   

4. Brokeback Mountain — Rugged cowboys aren't the most obvious choice for protagonists in a romantic film — but in Brokeback Mountain, Jack and Ennis explore the torture of forbidden love, fighting unwanted emotions and craving acceptance. In most films you root for the couple to have a happy ending, but Brokeback leaves you desperate for resolution — and probably a bit of a teary mess, too.
   

5. Casablanca — "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine." A touching love story set in Casablanca during WW2, this classic romance has become one of the most-quoted weepies of all time. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman's natural chemistry enthralled audiences — despite the fact it was Humprey's first ever romantic role. Plans to run off into the sunset and live happily every after may well be scuppered, but don't forget: "we'll always have Paris".
   

6. Notting Hill —Boy meets girl, girl meets boy — only one's a Hollywood movie star and the other's a floppy-haired, bumbling English bookshop owner. Theirs is one of the most unlikely romances in movie history, yet you're strangely drawn in and hopeful they can overcome the odds. Typical Richard Curtis fare, it offers plenty of laughs as well as heart-melting moments — and Rhys Ifans steals every scene he's in.
   

7. P.S. I Love You — Fans of Cecelia Aherne's novel of the same name will know that this love story is a weepy one — but you'll smile through the tears once you've got over the initial sobbing). Gerry's letters to Holly are heartbreaking, but there's an optimism in the tale that explores love, loss and looking forward without becoming too sombre. Have the tissues ready, but don't worry, the sun will part the clouds.
   

8. Romeo and Juliet — Shakespeare's infamous love story with a modern twist courtesy of director Baz Luhrmann. Updating the setting but keeping the flowery prose, the 1996 adaptation thrust Leonardo Dicaprio (Romeo) into the heartthrob category, with scores of teenage girls wishing they could be Claire Danes (Juliet). Another one of those films where even though you know how it's going to end, you still weep like it was a shock.
