Romantic Movies by Zodiac Sign

Cuddle up with movie suggestions for every sign

by Simone Butler

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you'll likely be seeking out romantic movies to stoke the fires of love. Your Astrology sign can actually influence the kinds of films you're attracted to. Are you more suited to a weepy tear-jerker, a fluffy comedy or a high-brow art film? A period piece or a slick, modern tale? Here, we've rounded up some old favorites and more recent treats to tantalize your romantic taste buds:

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
You like fun-filled movies that move quickly and end happily. You'd enjoy a classic tale like The Princess Bride, in which a feisty young Robin Wright and her gallant farmboy-turned-pirate overcome giant rodents, evil monarchs and death itself to fulfill their love. You'd also appreciate a hip, modern comedy like Hitch, with Will Smith as a bachelor "love doctor" who falls for a savvy woman who sees through his act.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
It's no secret that you like mushy films and don't mind shedding a tear or two. You'd love a poignant tale like City of Angels, in which otherworldly Nicolas Cage is so smitten with Meg Ryan that he trades in his angel wings to join her on Earth. The aching passion, gorgeous settings and exquisite acting of Michele Pfeiffer and Daniel Day-Lewis (both of whom are Taureans -- born on the same day!) in The Age of Innocence are also sure to make you swoon.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
You Twins like light-hearted comedies that engage your mind as well as your heart. You'd appreciate a smart, stylish romp like Down With Love, in which clever Renee Zellweger outwits perennial bachelor Ewan McGregor and wins his everlasting devotion. And since you like to explore both sides of the coin, you'd also enjoy a film like Sliding Doors , in which Gwyneth Paltrow ventures into a parallel reality to find her true love.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
You're enchanted by adventurous, romantic films ... even if they don't end happily. You'd adore Out of Africa, the soul-stirring saga of doomed love starring moonchild Meryl Streep and dashing -- but ultimately unattainable -- Sagittarian Robert Redford. You'd also love a film like the funny, touching Moonstruck, in which pragmatic Cher needs the support of her entire family to finally say "yes" to her heart's desire.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
You love the idea of being swept off your feet. Therefore, you'd likely enjoy the heartfelt teen romance Say Anything, in which sweet, quirky John Cusack never gives up on his brainy objet d'amour -- and triumphs despite overwhelming odds. A dramatic war tale like Casablanca, with its exotic setting and star-crossed lovers Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman making heroic but heartbreaking choices, moves you deeply.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Because your life can get so predictable, you like escapist fare. A classic tale like Romancing the Stone, in which romance novelist Kathleen Turner's wildest fantasies come to life, would feed your sense of adventure as well as your belief in true love. You'd also enjoy Sommersby, a suspenseful tale of passion and mistaken identity, with its awesome chemistry between Virgo Richard Gere and Scorpio Jodie Foster.
