The Geek Magnet: Geek Magnet's Top 5 Valentine's Day movies

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and Love is in the air. Some people may not think of nerds as being terribly romantic but the truth is that nerdome is full of romance, you can find it everywhere. There is the ultra cool Han and Leia love, the reboot love of Uhura and Spock, the implied love of Black Widow and Hawkeye, or the ultimate doomed love of Neo and and Trinity. You just can't escape the love. Keeping that in mind there are a few movies that rise above the rest in the romance arena and would be the perfect pick to share with that special geeky someone in your life. So here are Geek Magnet's top five movie picks for Valentine's day.

#5 Terminator. Granted this movie is supposed to be about fighting robots and saving mankind but isn't the real story about a love that transcends time?

#4 Wall-E. There is possibly nothing cuter in this world than robot love. Move over puppy parades and cute kitten YouTube videos, there is a new champion of adorableness in the world. This is a story of love at first sight. Poor little Wall-E lives a lonely existence until he meets Eva. He risks his life and saves mankind all in the name of love.

#3 The Princess Bride. "As you wish!" may possibly the most romantic line ever spoken. This lighthearted and quotable movie is all about love and not giving up on love. Full of swordfights, princesses, and witty banter this movie is a romance classic and the epitome of the nerdy romantic comedy. So instead of having to watch Sleepless in Seattle for the hundredth time, just pop The Princess Bride into the DVD player and enjoy.

#2 Bram Stoker's Dracula. Who doesn't enjoy a story about timeless and doomed love. Save yourself from being forced to watch Romeo & Juliet or Titanic again and instead watch this dark sexy romance unfold. Gary Oldman is a wickedly sexy Dracula (when he isn't in his old man garb) and Winona Ryder goes from innocent to lusty in a delightfully dramatic fashion. This movie delivers in sexiness, romance, drama, and action which means that it should prove to be an enjoyable film for everyone. Best Buy Home Theater

#1 The Fifth Element. *Spoiler* The fifth Element is love. Love literally saves the world, can you get any more romantic than that. Korben Dallas meets superhuman (possibly alien) Leeloo and is pulled into a quest to save mankind. The movie is full of funny moments and just beautiful scenes like the Diva's opera which also transforms into an awesome fight scene for Leeloo. Korben Dallas is a romantic kickass, and has a great sense of humor that really makes this movie particularly gratifying.
