Okay good list. But "The Way We Were"... that is the breakup of all beakups. When she sees him in New York years later and she swipes his hair to the side, you can feel the passion, and how does he not go see his daughter, it just kills me.

like that old song "Breaking up is haaaard to do" Who hasn't been there at some point in what we thought was a serious relationship full of promise. It helps to understand that his or her part in your story is O.V.E.R. It's not easy at first, but try and think in terms of "if it were supposed to be it would have been" Instead of moping and crying and asking the never ending WHY? WHY? WHYS? with no realalistic answers. We have a responsibility to ourselves to pull our lives out of what could have, would have, should have self-inflicted pain and look to now and the future. When I lost what I thought of at the time as "the love of my life" I thought I would cease to exist without him. That was then and now is now. I'm glad that I woke myself up to the fact that maybe I'd been spared. It's easy to imagine a rosey future with someone when in reality, if you had tied the knot, perhaps it would have fallen apart then instead of before the fact. Think of things to be grateful for every day, every hour if it's that painful at first. The more effort you can muster with each successive day, you find yourself actually healing instead of ripping the wound open all the time with what you felt were happy memories. If it breaks up, let's face it, there were flaws all along that you blinded yourself to. Start smelling the roses again and breath and be thankful. You are now freee to meet someone who really apprecaites YOU.
Agreed!!!

"Under the Tuscan Sun" I've always loved that movie. It's more of a journey to finda true self fulfilment in life. While I was going through my divorce I watched it more than 100 times.


Everytime I was let down I put that movie on. like...Few days ago I watched it 4 times until I felt better.


Sometimes even thughyou do try your best to make things work,... shit happens in life. It's not you. At least it's good to know that you've done your best.


And when shit happens...like break up...how does one pick onseself up?


After being with somebody so long sometimes you do kinda lose yourself in the process and that's why it's extra hard to pick yourself up again.


Then what do you do.... find yourself again...in a newer and a better way. Then you can truely move on. I am still in the process but at least I am really enjoying to get to know myself again.

i have to agree i love this movie!!!!! i also luv The Bridges of Madison County dont know if its a break up movie but it always makes me cry luv it!

The Break Up is OK...for the most part. I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it yet. I REALLY disagree though with My Super Ex-Girlfriend. I thought that movie looked/sounded promising but in the end it really just sucked. Seriously, something about Uma Thurman's character just seems very...acting-ish. I realize that it's all based on a fantasy situation but still - could you REALLY get away with even half the stuff she tries to pull without someone trying to shoot you down?


Heck, go with Hancock instead. I'd take that over Super Ex anyday.

Two of my favorites:

1) High Fidelity - The movie starts with John Cusack's newly ex-girlfriend leaving the apartment. He then goes into the "All Time Top Five Break-Ups" of his life. Great music, Jack Black, and John Cusack!

2) Another Cusack movie (didn't realize that until now...weird) "Say Anything" (I know they get back together, but the greatest break-up line ever was uttered in this film...

"I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen."

= priceless

My vote is for Something New, because it's all about: be careful what you ask for. The heroine was wanting a good man, and when she found one who wasn't in the "mold" she thought he should be in, she sets on a path to self-destruct.

My second pick is The First Wive's Club.

And third would be Sex & the City, the movie. Carrie and Mr. Bigg take the cake for breakups.

I definitely agree with these two. I would also add Swingers "You're so money and you don't even know it!" and maybe He's Just Not That Into You. Also, from a guy's perspective, sometimes a good action movie does the trick...something like Gladiator or Braveheart.
