10 Movies that Will Help You Get Over a Breakup

Break-ups are a part of life but they can suck, so here’s a list of movies that will help you move on

Eat, Pray,
Even if *you* can’t heal from your breakup by traveling the world and falling madly in love with pizza, you can at least watch Julia Roberts do it, which is almost as good! Plus, it’s all great inspo for when you do feel like going on a lavish vacay—it’s okay if that isn’t right now.

Girls
 A breakup is the perfect time to take that big vacation you’ve constantly been group texting about! And Girls Trip is kind of the perfect inspiration for it. Pick up that phone and book those tickets, it’s time to unwind. (Maybe skip the absinthe though?)

Runaway
 In Runaway Bride, Julia Roberts has attempted to get married plenty of times, but none of them have stuck—if anyone knows about breakups, it’s this lady, who never makes it down the aisle. But the movie’s hopeful ending is just inspiring enough to remind us that the right person is out there, even when it feels like they’re not.

He’s Just Not That Into
 This movie tells the story of a lot of different types of relationships...and how to know when it’s the right time to move on, which is probably something you’re identifying with right now. It’s also packed with actually useful advice when you decide to get back into the dating world (although not all of it is great—use your judgment!)

Legally
 Elle Woods gets dumped and then becomes legally blonde. You do not need any further inspiration. She is your new everything. You are her, and she is you. Become Elle Woods. Become her.

La La Land
If you’re more in a musical mood, La La Land’s got you. It’s lush, it’s flirty, it’s sad as heck by the end, and it makes you realize how all relationships help us grow and become who we want to be—even if they’re not meant to last forever.

500 Days of
 Yes, watching this movie may sting a little, since it is about a bad relationship that potentially hits too close to home. But it will help you realize that you can’t force someone to love you.

Like Crazy
 Warning: This one's gonna make you cry. Starring Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin, Like Crazy is about the ups and downs of a relationship between an exchange student from the UK and an American citizen...and how, no matter how much you love each other, sometimes love isn’t enough.

 Bridesmaids is the perfect breakup movie because it deals with approximately 1 million different kinds of loss. Kristen Wiig’s character, Annie, loses her relationship, her business, her freedom, and, for a hot second, her best friend. If your broken-hearted self can’t LOL at this Judd Apatow-produced masterpiece, you may never laugh again. (I’m kidding! I’m sorry!)

The Break-Up
 An obvious choice, but you have to watch this if you lived with your now-ex so you can be grateful that one of you left your shared home instead of doing everything and anything to try to get the other person to bounce. Civility is underrated!
