Open thread: Forget the cards, flowers and chocolates this Valentine's Day and say it with a song, book, film or artwork. Nominate the most romantic here
Dread it, ignore it or fall head over heels for it, Valentine's Day has arrived, again. Yes you can give your loved one chocolates in the shape of your face if you want to be deliciously narcissistic, or add their name to a card, but isn't that just a bit predictable? Surely a whole book is better than a hastily chosen card? Or, the perfect song or film might be more appropriate when it comes to explaining to your loved one how you really feel about them? With this in mind, today's open thread is to suggest a list containing your favourite love song, book, artwork, play or film – with links so we can all share the love.
We'll give chocolates to our favourite list.

Alicia Keys was the star performer at the Hope Rising! event in Toronto, held in aid of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which supports health groups dealing with the disease in Africa.
Rufus Wainwright, K'naan, Angelique Kidjo and Holly Cole also took to the stage, and Alicia Keys, who co-founded the Keep a Child Alive organisation to provide medicine to families with HIV and AIDS, hopes the gig will help raise awareness of the disease.
