Silverbirch Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 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? Link to comment

hero Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 "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. Link to comment

DurablePigment Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 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! Link to comment

sfindependent Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 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 Link to comment
Robin2904 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 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!!!!

LovedHim321 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 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. Link to comment
