What are your favorite break up movies??

When all you want to do is be alone after breaking up, curling up with a great breakup movie can offer great therapeutic benefits. Whether you've done the breaking up or your ex ended the relationship, a comfort cure for the broken hearted can be found in these carefully chosen flicks.

1. About last night (1986)
At a neighborhood bar Danny, a swinging single, meets Debbie, a bright young advertising executive. Sparks fly, and the pair go home together. Although they desire to keep their independence, they begins spending more and more time with each other and finally end up moving in together. However, their whirlwind romance gets the better of them and, although they have strong feelings for one another, they break up and Debbie movies out. Its one of my favorite movies ever, even though it's an oldie.

2. Waiting to exhale (1995)
This movie's true baseline is about four women who choose the wrong men and are not happy about it. They each want to find the "ideal" man for whom they are searching, and at times, their frustrations are directed to "all the men in the world" who have failed them. There are critical parts and heartbreaking moments that will shed a bright, revealing light on these women's personalities, so much so you might even reflect on your own experiences with a connection to one or more of these women.

3. The Break-Up (2006)
Funny at times, The Break-Up is a gut wrenching yet surprisingly honest story. This film is in no way a romantic comedy, as many moviegoers had initially anticipated. Instead, Vince Vaugh and Jennifer Aniston walk viewers through the stages of grief (and in some ways, torture) we put ourselves through when trying to decide whether or not a relationship is worth salvaging.

4. Closer (2004)
Closer depicts four people, otherwise with very little in common, unraveling and weaving a tapestry of complex romantic interactions with each other. Jealousy, love, obsession, affection and lust all take center stage, artfully showing different facets of each character's motivations and personality, while offering the viewer different viewpoints of the same situation. An excellent movie for those wanting to see their own past relationships in a different light.

5. High Fidelity (2000)
A list of top break-up movies wouldn't be complete without the movie that lists the "top five breakups of all time", as John Cusack's character (Rob Gordon) does. The movie follows the most recent breakup of Gordon, who then attempts to determine just why all of his major relationship break-ups occurred in the first place. This movie definitely falls into the comedy category, but still offers a large dose of reflective drama as a balance.
