"Sweethearts \u2014 better known to the rest of us as tiny, heart-shaped candies made from processed sugar and some other magical ingredient that renders them indestructible \u2014 have come to define Feb. 14th. From children to adults, what better way to express your love than with a mini periwinkle-colored heart proclaiming \"Be Mine?\" \nBut those classic phrases were the result of years of brainstorming, experimenting and toying with the most romantic combinations of words. \nThis Valentine's Day, Twitter imagines all the unsuccessful and lost candy hearts of generations past with the popular hashtag #candyheartrejects. \n\nYou don't need the calories #candyheartrejects\n\u2014 Tom Brady's Ego (@TomBradysEgo) February 13, 2013\n\n\n#CandyHeartRejects twitter.com/pourmecoffee/s\u2026\n\u2014 pourmecoffee (@pourmecoffee) February 14, 2013\n\n\n#CandyHeartRejects twitter.com/DL_Thurston/st\u2026\n\u2014 DL Thurston (@DL_Thurston) February 14, 2013\n\n\nI'M LATE#candyheartrejects\n\u2014 Robert Buckley (@robertbuckley) February 14, 2013\n\n\nNo One Needs to Know #candyheartrejects\n\u2014 Brokelyn (@Brokelyn) February 14, 2013\n\n\n#CandyHeartRejects twitter.com/ZACHARYDUPUIS/\u2026\n\u2014 za\u262Ah \u2661 (@ZACHARYDUPUIS) February 14, 2013\n\n\n#candyheartrejects your mom paid me to take you out\n\u2014 Coco (@cocokonskii) February 14, 2013\n\n\nPLEASE B THINNER #CandyHeartRejects\n\u2014 Brian Lynch (@BrianLynch) February 14, 2013\n\nSEE ALSO: Creepy Cupid Has a Valentine's Message for You\n\n\n#CandyHeartRejects twitter.com/FRIENDSshowsay\u2026\n\u2014 F\u2022R\u2022I\u2022E\u2022N\u2022D\u2022S tweet\u2122 (@FRIENDSshowsays) February 14, 2013\n\n\nI'd Settle For U #candyheartrejects\n\u2014 Peter Mooney (@Peter_Mooney_) February 14, 2013\n\n\nI Told Your Wife #candyheartrejects\n\u2014 Kalliope Amorphous (@KalliAmorphous) February 14, 2013\n\n\n#CandyHeartRejects CALL ME MAYBE\n\u2014 Women's Humor (@WomensHumor) February 14, 2013\n\n\nI'M THINKIN' ARBY'S #candyheartrejects\n\u2014 blaine capatch (@blainecapatch) February 13, 2013\n\n\nGet Tested #candyheartrejects\n\u2014 Funny Or Die (@funnyordie) February 13, 2011\n\nHave any more ideas?

Lost in Translation\n\n\nThis film is perfect for anyone who does not want to watch the typical romantic comedy formula unfold. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson float around gorgeous Tokyo while aimlessly questioning life's meaning.\nImage courtesy of Focus Features\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Blue Valentine\n\n\nBeing single isn't nearly as depressing as a relationship that's slowly, painfully been chipped away. Even Ryan Gosling's shower scene will make you cringe.\nWarning: this movie is not for the faint-hearted. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is also available, and slightly easier to watch.\nImage courtesy of The Weinstein Company\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. What's Eating Gilbert Grape?\r\n\n\nIt's just a holiday. There are worse things in life than not having someone buy you flowers. Try to remember that as you watch this classic throwback, starring young Johnny Depp and Leonardo Di Caprio.\nImage courtesy of Paramount Pictures\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. New York, I Love You\r\n\n\nIf you actually really like Valentine's Day -- both the holiday and the movie -- then watch a montage of romantic love stories, set to the beautiful views of New York City. It's got an all-star cast, similar to Gary Marshall's flick -- but better.\nImage courtesy of Vivendi Entertainment\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. What Dreams May Come\n\n\nIf you just want to have a sob fest, Robin Williams dies in a car accident and leaves heaven to find his wife when he discovers she killed herself and was sent to hell. The imagery and the story will bring you to tears.\nImage courtesy of Universal Studios\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Drive\n\n\nLet romance take the backseat in your film choice. You'll be too into this action-packed flick to even notice that Ryan Gosling never takes his shirt off.\nImage courtesy of FilmDistrict\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Mr. Universe\n\n\nDrown out Valentine's Day alltogether with rib-tickling stand-up comedy. Jim Gaffigan's Mr. Universe will make you laugh so hard, you won't even know what day it is.\nImage courtesy of Jim Gaffigan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Clueless\n\n\nWatch Alicia Silverstone play matchmaker in this candy-coated '90s classic. The film is based on a Jane Austen novel -- it doesn't get more hopelessly romantic than that.\nImage courtesy of Paramount Pictures\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. The Wedding Planner\r\n\n\nYou know better than to fall for Valentine's crap, which is why the small part of you that's bummed is bothering you more than the fact that you're solo. Reality check yourself with a face-palming corny movie that wouldn't ever happen in real life. \nImage courtesy of Columbia Pictures\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Ghost\n\n\nIf you're looking for a classic, well-rounded romantic movie, nothing on Netflix's instant queue beats this. Except maybe Sleepless in Seattle. \nImage courtesy of Paramount Pictures\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11. Heathers\r\n\n\nThis dark comedy is ridiculous, and not in the Matthew McConaughey way. Perfect for anyone annoyed with everyone else's perfect Valentine's Day plans.\nImage courtesy of New World Pictures\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
