CultureMap film critic Joe Leydon arrived at KHOU Ch. 11's studio dressed to impress and ready to seduce Great Day Houston host Deborah Duncan with chocolate candies, cozy socks and his picks for the most Valentine's Day-appropriate flicks. 

There's something for everyone on that list, whether your relationship calls for the classic romances of An Affair To Remember and Doctor Zhivago, sappy modern love stories like Love, Actually and The Notebook or an up-tempo soundtrack that you can make out to (courtesy of High Fidelity). 

See Leydon's full round-up of the 10 most romantic movies and the reasoning behind them in the complete CultureMap story
