Well these movies r not all optimistic.But i find it very difficult 2 watch a movie or read a book that has a "nothin 2 do with my situation" subject .

So i made this list .

 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Sideways

swingers

Closer

High.Fidelity

play it again sam

Rodger Dodger

Must.Love.Dogs

The.Last.Kiss

Feast.of.Love

 

 

The most importand films r placed on the top of the list.

I hope when and if you r able to concentrate on a movie this list will give you 15-20 hours of "entertainment"

Respect .Be strong .

 

.....Her smile .I will never forget it

Hey- as far as I am concerned, I'd rather cry because I crapped my pants- and not because I want to be reminded how sad I am.:eek:

I love Play it again, Sam. Actually I think any Woody Allen dramatic comedy or straight comedy would work. I personally loved Crimes and Misdemeanors.

 

but here is a short list of my faves after heartache.

 

Napoleon Dynamite

What about Bob?

Fargo

Pulp Fiction

Pulp Fiction rocks!!!! One of my all time favorite movies, and I've seen it countless numbers of times. What About Bob is hilarious. And I love Woody Allen, my favorite is Annie Hall.

Tealeaf, the first time I laughed out loud after the break-up was watching Napoleon Dynamite. Good recommendation.

 

I needed all of those laughs. It really is the best medicine.

Swingers

The Lonely Guy

The Jerk

You like Steve Martin!

"I know we've only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it. " - from The Jerk

I love that bit!

LMAO The Jerk rules. I'm gonna watch it again right now. "This is like a ride!"
Now I have to watch it too. I could use a good laugh. *hands you popcorn* Enjoy it!

Have you seen The Lonely Guy?
I love that one too! I'm a sucker for corny humor.

Our first night together we saw Housesitter on the hotel's cable TV thing, so that one's out. Well we didn't really watch most of it, if you know what I mean ;)

 

Steve Martin still rules though. The Lonely Guy is classic. Haven't seen that one in years!

definitely Eternal Sunshine, but also Love Stinks

  1. High Fidelity (best by far)
  2. True Romance (You're so cool)
  3. Shaun of the Dead (When your love has left you in the middle of a zombie attack)
  4. Eternal Sunshine (Some people are going to be together no matter what - Hope)
  5. Secretary (if i have to explain this you don't get it, so don't watch it)
  6. Amélie (even the incredibly weird and shy can meet someone)
  7. The Jerk (ditto on this one)
  8. What Dreams May come (Hope again)
  9. Donnie Darko (it is an interesting comment on destiny and choice)
  10. Say Anything (first love. awwww.)
  11. Dangerous Liaisons (cheating & lying? this is perfect)

 

You can't beat a happy ending when you are sad. I know lots of these are repeats but it can't hurt to recommend them twice.
