A list of the best movies to lift your spirit to watch when you’re heartbroken after a breakup and looking to fill the void.
It’s impossible to avoid the pain of a breakup. In spite of how bad the relationship was, the end of one brings its own kind of mourning—the grief over a lifestyle, the loss of friends, and the loss of a connection to your ex’s pets. The way you used to live will no longer be the same. You know it can be a wonderful thing, but it’s difficult to see at first.
While the ideal approach to move on after a split is still up for debate, watching a movie is a tried-and-true way to divert your attention. The proper movie can help you go through the five stages of grieving, whether you’re watching it with loved ones or by yourself: You can go through the stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance all from the comfort of your couch and some popcorn.
