22 Very Sexy V-Day Gifts

Date Night on DVD
Mariel Hemingway and Patrice Donnelly are sexy ‘80s-era, pre-out Olympian athletes who fall in love while competing for a spot on the U.S. team in Personal Best. Donnelly, one of the three actual Olympians in the film (Jodi Anderson and Kenny Moore are the others), is compelling and refreshing in all the perfect girl jock ways, but it’s the love story between her and a very young Hemingway who make this a lesbo classic. And in The Bouquet, sad news brings two sisters home to help save the family floral business and mend mom’s broken heart in this schmaltzy, perfect-for-lovers-of-TV-movies DVD. One of the sisters is played by Kristy Swanson, the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and if you don’t have a date, you may want to watch this one with your sibling. Personal Best is DVD on Demand only at WarnerArchive.com, $18.95; The Bouquet is at Amazon.com,  $12.99
