Whats more romantic than falling in love with a hooker and murdering her pimp and proceeding to travel cross country to sell cocaine?

Not much. Valentine's Day is tomorrow and to prevent if from sucking (whether you're alone or with someone) check out these awesome movies because not much beats a Christian Slater marathon. 

Christian Slater Movie Pick #1:

True Romance (1993)

Co-starring- Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hoper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, and Brad Pitt.

 

Clarence (Christian Slater), a guy who works in a comic book store, falls head over heals in love with Alabama (Patricia Arquette) a hooker. Alabama is a noob at prostitution. They get spend the night together and get married. Clarence later goes to retrieve her things from Alabama's pimp, Drexl (Gary Oldman) and ends up killing him and instead of getting her stuff accidentally gets a suitcase full of cocaine. What's a guy to do? To protect his new lady they travel to Hollywood to sell the cocaine all the while being followed by gangsters. This early Quentin Tarantino movie (written by, directed by Tony Scott) is like Pretty Woman only better! It's the kind of romantic action comedy that both me and woman alike can enjoy. 

Christian Slater Movie Pick #2:

Bed Of Roses (1993)

Co-starring- Mary Stuart Masterson, Josh Brolin, Pamela Adlon

This is one of my personal favorite Christian Slater movies. Lewis (Christian Slater) who is a florist, falls in love with Lisa (Mary Stuart Masterson) who was an orphan and is now a career woman. The two find a connection, but struggle to keep it because Lisa is afraid of rejection. It's a sweet romantic drama that the ladies might like more than the fellas, but the overall message and sincerity of the film can melt anyone's heart.

Christian Slater Movie Pick #3:

Untamed Heart (1993)

Co-starring- Marissa Tomei, Rosie Perez 

I watched three fourths of this movie abut a year ago and them my sister took her dvd. I saw the last quarter this week and was shocked. Caroline (Marissa Tomei) is waitress trying to earn her keep while she attends beauty school. Adam (Christian Slater) is a shy busboy at the same diner. He follows Caroline home one night and protects her from two assailants. The two irrevocably fall in love. Caroline learns that Adam is an orphan and has a severe heart condition that requires a transplant, but he claims he needs his heart to love her. What will happen to these two lovebirds? Watch this moving film about true love found in the most unlikely of places. (P.s. Marissa Tomei's brooklyn accent is sometimes annoying but I find that in this movie it's almost cute) (p.s.s. this is totally a girl movie)

Christian Slater Movie Pick #4:

Heathers (1988)

Co-starring- Winona Ryder,Shannen Doherty 

It's obvious that I really like Christian Slater, but more than that I absolutely love Winona Ryder. Her crazy antics aside, this doe-eyed beauty can act and is oh so lovely. Heathers is a classic, the anecdote to John Hughes era of films about high school. Granted a lot of them are fantastic: Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, etc...but this movie is the ideal anti-valentine's day movie. Why you may ask? Veronica (Winona Ryder) is part of a group called The Heathers; the beautiful, bitchy, popular girls who run their school. A glance across the lunchroom one day brings J.D. (Christian Slater) and Veronica together. J.D. is a dark, brooding, sexy loner/outcast and finds that same kind of kindred spirit in Veronica. They accidentally murder the lead Heather and to cover their asses make it look like suicide. This is only the beginning. Things take a downward spiral and suicide becomes a cool trend. Veronica starts to have second thoughts she must deal with J.D.'s rampage. Filled with memorable quotes ("Dear diary, my teenage-angst bullshit now has a body count.")and dark comedy this movie is sure to squelch one's valentine's day blues.
