Although it's quite an old film, it certainly doesn't disappoint and is perfect for watching with loved ones.
2. The Holiday - an unmissable romantic comedy, where two women, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Iris (Kate Winslet), bored with their own lives, meet online and decide to exchange houses.

3. Hachicko: The Story of a Dog - a film based on a real story that promises to bring tears to your eyes.
