Surviving Your Break Up By Watching Movies
Movies are a great way of escaping the real world and diving into another space and time and getting lost in someone else’s problem. The right kind of movie can really lift your spirits and make you laugh and smile even during the worst of times.
Getting through your break up will be a lot easier if you have a bunch of movies lined up to help you out when your friends are busy and you feel like you have no one to turn to.
On the other hand, it’s important not to get the wrong type of movies also. You’ll want to stay away from the heartwrenching romantics and the heartbreakingly sad dramas. Even if you’re tempted because you’ve heard great things about it or they might be your favourite movie in the world, stay away from them during your break up!
You don’t want the movie to depress you even more and make you think of your ex halfway through! The best type of break up movies are romantic comedies that lean more towards the comedy. A movie which contains an element of a character going through a break up or some sort of misfortune in their life is also great because they help you see you’re not alone and also show you another side to your situation.
If you can laugh about someone else going through something similar to you then that is sure to make you feel much better about your situation.
Some examples of great break up movies are:
1. Lars and The Real Girl (2007)
2. High Fidelity (2000)
3. Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
5. Closer (2004)
6. The Break-Up (2006)
7. Bridget Jones Diary
8. What Happens In Vegas
9. Groundhog Day
10. Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2
I recommend all of these, check them out if you haven’t and if you have, keep in mind the requirements for a great break up movie and go searching in your local DVD store! Have fun watching!
