Here in the D.C. area, Mother Nature decided to unload last night. She’s had a lot on her mind lately and felt like we haven’t been paying attention to her. So we’ve got a mix of snow and freezing rain and everything is closed. It’s time to snuggle up on the couch and watch a flick with your loved one. Here’s a list of five good ones in no particular for romantic crappy weather day watching.

• Love Actually - What I like best about this flick is that most of the love stories are awkward and clumsy. The film never goes out of its way to idealize relationships. We get to see the messy side of love that doesn’t always end happily.
• The Holiday - Kate Winslet is absolutely brilliant in this flick. Vibrant, full of life. You can tell she had a great time with Jack Black. Cameron Diaz isn’t so bad either, but Jude Law’s end of that relationship made it all worth watching.
• Juno - When it comes out on DVD, Juno will be a perfect addition to your rainy day, rom com movie fest. Fun, quirky, post-modern coming of age story more than a typical romantic comedy, but it still leaves you feeling all warm and lovey.
• Knocked Up - A slightly vulgar and hilarious take on the rom com, this one will have you laughing you ass off.
• The 40 Year Old Virgin - As a card carrying geek, this one has a special place in my heart.  I was cringing the entire time he was packing up his Star Wars toys.  Geek tragedy!

And that should take you to about nap time.

It’s a decent enough start. What films would you add to your list of staying-in-to-snuggle-cause-the-weather-is-absolute-shite movies?
