I hate, despise, and abominate The Notebook. This savage critique fills me with wicked glee. If you want Ryan Gosling, watchCrazy, Stupid, Love. Trust me. Gentlemen, I promise never to make you watch The Notebook or indeed any other sappy rom-coms on Valentine's or Any Other Day. Instead, we shall watch Die Hard or a 007 flick.
I know the Die Hard line is a joke from the youtube video, but it relates to a serious suggestion for any girlfriend who wants a movie that will make her boyfriend emotional:
Look for movies that venerate masculine virtues like honor and heroic sacrifice. Glory with Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick, and Denzel Washington is a good one.
It will make him misty-eyed and convey to him that you appreciate manly heroic character. That's a check in the plus column.

"Glory" is great! I had previously recommended it here:
