Click HERE

Do you love movies? Try a little tenderness this Valentine's Day and give the gift of love and choose from this superb collection of heart-warming, tissue tearing, laugh out loud romantic comedies from Universal Pictures. From the very first kiss to the final mad dash to the airport, you can't beat a good romantic movie to set your pulse racing.

As romantic as flowers and more gratifying than a big box of chocolates, these titles feature some of the very best players in the game of love past and present - Colin Firth, Renee Zellweger, Paul Bettany, Keira Knightley, Rachel Weisz, Julia Roberts, Katharine Hepburn, Leslie Caron and the prince charmings of the silver screen themselves – the Grants – Hugh and Cary!

Valentine's hamperIf you're looking for romance with a capital "AAH" then look no further than this fantastic range of movies that will tickle everyone's love bug. Proving that even we Brits have a soft side, Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) starring Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant is an hilarious adaptation of Helen Fielding's bestseller, and the cast return in the sequel Bridget Jones - the Edge of Reason (2004) an equally riotous romp through the pitfalls of modern love.

Another book adaptation sees Nick Hornby's About a Boy (2002) come to screen with Hugh Grant as a typical London bachelor who after years of the single life suddenly finds himself alone and in the cold, co-starring Rachel Weisz and Toni Collette.

London's great sporting event Wimbledon (2004) gets the romantic treatment with a battle of wits between Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst, each serving up a volley of razor wit and sexually-charged repartee.

Love Actually (2003) is a sweeping story about how love manifests itself in varying relationships during the Christmas season, featuring Bill Nighy, Emma Thompson and Martine McCutcheon in a fantastic ensemble cast; a film that will warm your heart like a night by the fire. Finally, journey into the world of corsets and courtly love with the wonderful Pride and Prejudice; the most recent adaptation of this timeless love story starring Keira Knightly, Matthew Macfayden and Dame Judi Dench.

Turn back the clock with a selection of 'new to DVD' romantic gems from yesteryear starring Cary Grant available from 12th February. World War 2 is the unlikely setting for Father Goose (1964) which sees our hero babysitting a school teacher (Leslie Caron) and her students when their plane crashes close to his island. Can a misogynistic beach bum and an educated lady get along?

Sylvia Scarlet (1935) is a comedy of errors in which Katherine Hepburn plays Sylvia/Sylvester, the daughter of a con artist who pretends to be a boy in order to remain undetected; Grant plays loveable rogue Jimmy Monkley, a jewel smuggler who gets in on the con and finds himself one half of the many unlikely romantic couples in the film.

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948) stars Grant as Mr. Blandings, who wants to build a dream house in the country for himself and his wife, yet finds it's a lot more trouble than he anticipated it would be! Blonde Venus sees Grant play a millionaire who can't resist paying married starlet Helen Faraday (Marlene Deitrich) vast sums of money to start an affair with him – a recipe for calamity and disaster if ever there was one; and finally another love triangle is in the centre of The Grass is Greener (1960), in which Grant co-stars with Hollywood legends Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons.

We are giving away a Valentine's hamper containing Portacelli Brut Pink Cava, heart-shaped box of red foiled –wrapped Belgian Chocolate Hearts, joined teddy Bear with red bow at the neck and luxury aritifical red rose site.
