With Valentine’s Day less than 24 hours away, time is running out on making plans to impress your sweetheart with a romantic gesture or gift, or for deciding upon something creative that might let those special people in your life know that you care.

So, if you find yourself still scratching your head for an idea to capture the spirit of the holiday, the Journal staff suggests that a film or a poem, or possibly a book, might do the trick.

Below is a list of Top Five candidates in each category. However, since we were way underwhelmed by the lists of “Most Romantic Films of All Time” that we came across (“Annie Hall”, really?), we picked five of our own.

We’re also tossing out a few “love quotes” as well, which may come in handy. Feel free to use ‘em, but don’t abuse ‘em.

“I could search my whole life through and through and never find another you.”

“When you see a falling star tonight, make a wish, it will come true because I wished and I found you.”

“They say you only fall in love once, but that can’t be true… Every time I look at you, I fall in love all over again.”
