• the banshees of inisherin (2022): I only reccomend this if u want to think abt the relationship and be sad abt it for a bit. especially if it is a case where nothing particularly happened you just drifted apart without explanation
• do revenge (2022): fun and lowkey cathartic movie for 17 year old me! dec helped me reconcile with the more messy and tumultuous side of friendships? idk i can't remember much abt this one i think it was just a "right place, right time" movie for me
• deadpool & wolverine (2024): yes I am being so fr rn. I saw this bc my mother was tired of me crying over the fact that my bff-of-two-years-and-partner-of-7-months had just broken up with me and for those 2 hours I forgot abt all the pain and sadness over ya know the whole dating ur off means when u breakup u lose both a partner AND a friend. but yeah it was a good wild time that even made me almost cry for ya know other non-breakup reasons :)
• in regards to the previous rec binging the x-men movies rlly helped distract me from all the emotional turmoil of that breakup
•10 things i hate abt you (1999): a good fun uplifting rom-com to ignore the world to and in my case helped me ignore the grief of some stuff over the years :)
•the muppets (2011): comfort movie to the max degree!!! makes the world feel a little less evil imo
• any one of the cornetto trilogy movies by edgar wright: the bromance between nick frost and simon pegg truly helps me remember that real love in friendship is possible. and it's funny and silly goofy. that is also a big part of my enjoyment for those movies

i do this with a couple in particular, whenever i feel like having a good crying session: the final scenes in call me by your name and normal people. it's pretty much automatic, especially with normal people. i know exactly what the characters are going to say and when, but i still cry every time. it doesn't matter how many times i've seen it. the scene will always carry the same emotions and be able to access the same ones within me. what a privilege it is to be profoundly moved by something.

black queer history is FULL of forgotten legends who have shaped mainstream culture and continue to have a lasting impact on fashion, language, art & performance.
Paris Is Burning immortalises and preserves the legacy and the stories of the people featured in this film along with the spaces, community and families they created for themselves in a society that consistently marginalised and discriminated against them.
this is an essential watch!!!
