    A great movie for getting over your ex
    Swingers - - sadly its more the guys

    Mike: Okay, so what if I don't want to give up on her?
    Rob: You don't call.
    Mike: But you said I don't call if I wanted to give up on her.
    Rob: Right.
    Mike: So I don't call either way?
    Rob: Right.
    Mike: So what's the difference?
    Rob: There is no difference right now. See, Mike, the only difference between giving up and not giving up is if you take her back when she wants to come back. But you can't do anything to make her want to come back. In fact, you can only do stuff to make her not want to come back.
    Mike: So the only difference is if I forget about her or just pretend to forget about her?
    Rob: Right.
    Mike: Well that sucks.
    Rob: Yeah, it sucks.
    Mike: So it's just like a retroactive decision, then? I mean I could, like, forget about her and then when she comes back make like I just pretended to forget about her?
    Rob: Right. Although probably more likely the opposite.
    Mike: What do you mean?
    Rob: I mean at first you're going to pretend to forget about her, you'll not call her, I don't know, whatever... but then eventually, you really will forget about her.
    Mike: Well what if she comes back first?
    Rob: Mmmm... see, that's the thing, is somehow they know not to come back until you really forget.
    Mike: There's the rub.
    Rob: There's the rub.

    I think "The Break-up" is a great movie for girls to watch when trying to get over a boyfriend.

    I love The Holiday.

    One of my favorites, not only for a break up situation, but for life.

    "Be the leading lady of your own life, not the best friend!"

    Yeah, that's a good one too!! Shouldn't this be in the "movies" section though?

    It does still have to do with relationships but it is a toss up. Personally, my favorite movie for dealing with a break up is either Hitch or Tom Cats

    I thought swingers was an OK film with some 'real' breakup moments and truths. However some of it I did find rather slow, irratating and down right dull.

    I think the facts are; they never come back!

    I just watched Swingers again the other day... it's been a few years since I last watched it. Even though I'm a girl I loved it because anyone could relate to it really. Or just being single in general. It's great and more realistic. You can just watch it and be like "dude, i feel your pain"

    For the girls out there getting over an ex I found it fun watching some revenge chick flicks. Like Death Proof is sort of fun, even though it has nothing to do with relationships but in my situation at the time I didn't want to watch movies about that anyway. Or that Jennifer Lopez one, forgot what it was called.
    Basically... movies about independent women who show they're tough. A guy hurts them and they don't run and cry about it, they become stronger.
