Crazy Stupid Love

At just 40 years old, Cal Weaver is cheated on by his wife Emily. In today’s world of singles, he, who hasn’t dredged for ages, turns out to be a model of anti-seduction. He is then taken in hand by an attractive thirty-something, Jacob Palmer.

Crazy Stupid Love is one of the most successful romantic comedies of the 2000s. Both hilarious and very right on the realities of love life, the film has the advantage of treating the question through a choral narrative and multiple characters, male and feminine. The mix brings a universal look to this emblematic subject of the couple and love, and will appeal to everyone. The cast, bringing together big names (Emma Stone, Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, etc.), demonstrates magnificent chemistry and delivers cult scenes galore. Unavoidable.

The Big Sick

Kumail, an Uber driver looking to break into a comedian, meets Emily one night. Suddenly a beautiful love story is born that Kumail’s family, who wants him to marry a Pakistani woman, and Emily’s mysterious illness will complicate.

Watch out, nugget! If you’re tired of always seeing the same movies on Valentine’s Day, The Big Sick is a quality alternative released rather recently. Written by duo Kumail Nanjiani (The Eternals) and Emily Gordon, based on their authentic personal story, this film is both a tender romantic comedy and a poignant life story. It aptly deals with modern relationships, issues of culture, family and intimate drama. A nugget, we tell you.

WALL-E

After years of loneliness doing what he was built to do, little WALL-E finds new meaning in his life when he meets a robot called EVE. Both will go on an adventure across the galaxy.

We tend to forget it, but beyond being a small masterpiece of animation, WALL-E is an adorable love story between two robots in an apocalyptic future. An atypical and necessarily brilliant starting point signed by Pixar studios. 15 years after its release, WALL-E remains a space adventure like no other and a one-of-a-kind film with its almost wordless 45-minute introduction. In short, an unmissable.

West Side Story

As tensions are at their height on the West Side, Riff, leader of the Jets, convinces Tony, the former leader, to attend a ball with their opponents. The young man accepts and on this occasion meets the sister of the chief of the rival clan, Maria. Thus begins a romance that sets fire to the powder…

Remake of the 1961 cult film, itself an adaptation of the Broadway play (which was itself a re-reading of the Romeo and Juliet of William Shakespeare), it is an understatement to say that West Side Story tells a story emblematic of popular culture. But far from delivering a banal copy-paste, Steven Spielberg signs a modern film with twirling musical sequences and unparalleled breath. A great tragic love story.
