Good Movies to Watch After a Break-Up

[Silverbirch]

Tonight, Mum and I got around to watching "Eat, Pray and Love" which was an excellent choice. Another poster here recently mentioned "Under the Tuscan Sun". I loved that too. Okay, any other suggestions?

"Shirley Valentine" for older married women: "Educating Rita" for women striving for independence; and "500 Days of Summer" for guys. Trying to think of others...

The break-up, garden state, 500 days of summer, the good girl, Sex and the city ( first one)

He's just not that into you

"500 Days of Summer" and "Swingers" were the two movies that really helped me out during my breakup. I also heard good things about "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" but I havent seen that movie in ages so I dont remember much about it.

500 Days of Summer was great. I'll throw Annie Hall and High Fidelity into the mix, too. Although the latter would probably be a better fit if this was asked in the 'Getting Back Together' forum!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a great movie!

agreeing with the rest of the posters here....

 

500 days of summer and eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

 

great movies. mourning for the loss but at the same time appreciating the heartache and the lessons learned

[Robin2904]

When I watched 500 days of Summer I was NOT ready to fully appreciate it and it made me more upset. NOW I think it's a great movie, but be careful because it upset me at the time because I don't think I was ready to accept letting go and 'moving on'.

 

Eternal Sunshine is an AWESOME movie!!!!

So would you say tearjerkers, love stories, or romantic comedies that end well with a super happy ending.... I prefer to watch old movies, like those from the 50's and 60's, that show on the odd channels during the day when I tune in. Something with romantic quality so that I have a little bit of emotional jarring. I like to watch happy endings. I do it not so much to hurt myself, but to think that WILL be me someday with the right man. Oh yes!

There are others who would say they would stay away from that because it depresses them after a breakup and trying to heal--throws them off track. You could be really negative on yourself and watch it and say that will never be you--but don't let yourself say that!!!!! You just had the wrong person. The right one is out there for you!!!!

I watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and I thought that was a little odd of a movie, but it showed they were really in love, even though they had some major issues.
