• 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

added bonus with watching the muppets (2011), you get to cry to man or a muppet (maybe the best song ever). So cathartic. lmaoo

all of these movies have themes of moving on, grief, acceptance, and learning how to be yourself all while making you giggle.

So I just finished Normal People then rewatched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind back to back and let me tell you yes they both tore me to pieces and were so so good. But i did not watch them at a time in my life where it could’ve been a lot worse. And yea it might’ve been cathartic to sob my heart out (I did still cry don’t get me wrong but very polite tears), I think I’m glad I was spared the heavy hit bc it allowed me to appreciate the show/film on its own.

especially if you’re not feeling so hot, mentally and/or physically. i woke up today feeling yucky and heavy in my heart and body, but i just rewatched Love at First Sight (2023) on netflix and had a good cry and i’m feeling a little better now. it’s on days like today that i’m grateful romcoms exist! i used to call romcoms my guilty pleasure, but today i will declare that i unabashedly love romcoms!!!! they may be unrealistic at times, but in doing so, they remind you to believe in a world where love is everywhere, all the time (because it is) <3
if you have some fav romcoms, drop them in the comments! would love to watch them :)
