Let’s be honest, we’ve all been trying to get over the news that Brad and Angie have split, and Noami and Liev.
And while star couples like Brangelina and Hiddleswift have caused a frenzy online, it’s our very own breakups that can be the hardest to handle.
Whether you’re mourning Angie and Brad or you’ve just been through a break up yourself, Goss.ie have picked the top 15 films to watch after a split.
Take a look:
1. Legally Blonde
If there was ever someone to prove you don’t need NOÂ man, that person is Elle Woods.
Reese Witherspoon plays the lovable and adorable sorority-girl-turned-lawyer in this feel good film.
Without Elle, we would have never learned the Bend And Snap.
And what’s even better, it’s on Netflix!
2. Bridget Jones Diary
You can’t have a movies list like this without including everyone’s favourite singleton, Bridget Jones.
With her new film out and smashing the box office, nothing beats a classic.
In the first film, we’re introduced to eternally single Bridget who manages to bag herself not one handsome man but TWO handsome men.
At Goss.ie, we have our own Bridget Jones who will be telling our readers all about single life in Ireland.
3. Clueless
A 90s favourite, Clueless is the modern take on Jane Austen’s novel Emma.
Cher plays today’s version of the matchmaker and does her best to transform and help her friends find love and adapt into high school life.
A cult favourite, Clueless is one of the must watch films after a nasty split to remind you that there are worse things than being a virgin who can’t drive.
Catch it on Netflix.
4. Sex And The City Movie
It’s not really a proper break-up list without including relationship guru Carrie Bradshaw.
After the success of the HBO show, producers decided to bring four of New York’s most loved women to the big screen.
If you need a reminder as to why your girl group are your soul mates, look no further than this film.
5. Sleepless in Seattle
Meg Ryan was the queen of the 80s – and we loved her in this classic with Tom Hanks.
After Tom’s character goes through a nasty divorce, his son calls up a radio show saying his dad is looking for love.
Tom is not impressed with his son’s antics but agrees to go on air to talk – that’s when Meg first hears his voice and falls in love.
A story to show you that your love is out there, they just might be across the country.
6. Bridesmaids
What person doesn’t love Bridesmaids?
The comedy was one of the film industry’s groundbreaking films because it showed that women aren’t always so polished and ladylike.
The gas comedy revolves around a wedding but it’s about keeping your girl crew tight – something we forget when we get wrapped up in love.
A film that has given us some hilarious memes and gifs over the last few years, it’s a must-see.
7. Pretty in Pink
One of John Hughes most famous films, Pretty In Pink stars 80s screen queen Molly Ringwald.
A film about finding love rather than getting over love, it’s still a golden classic that every break-up binge needs.
The vintage style and warmth that John’s films are known comes through greatly in this film and you can’t beat some of the classic synthesiser sounds in it.
Watch it over on Netflix.
8. First Wives Club
What better way to get over your cheating ex-husband than to create a club against cheating ex-husbands?
First Wives Club is another 80s hit film that screams girl power louder than Ginger Spice ever did.
Starring the fantastic Goldie Hawn as one of the wives, she’s joined by Diane Keaton and Bette Midler in this hilarious film about how to cope when a relationship ends.
And you can eve watch it on Netflix.
9. The Holiday
Who knew Jack Black could star in a romance film like The Holiday?
The comedian stars alongside Kate Winslet who offers up her cosy English college to California Cameron Diaz – and of course, the two find love in a hopeless place.
Jude Law stars are Kate’s dreamy brother and shows what kind of a gentlemen you deserve!
Like Sleepless In Seattle, maybe your love is just across the world? (Romance is getting expensive.)
10. Notting Hill
Before Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian’s on-and-off relationship, there was Will and Anna in Notting Hill.
When bookstore owner Will first meets Hollywood actress Kate, he falls head over heels.
Of course, like with all romantic comedies, it’s no easy affair for the two as Will comes to terms with the star’s fame.
An absolute classic, a night in after a break up is not complete without Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant’s classic love story.
11. 500 Days Of Summer
Hands up if you slightly hated Zooey Deschanel at the end of this film.
500 Days Of Summer is one of the best films out there for teaching you that a break up isn’t the end of the world.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character is the ultimate hopeless romantic and we can all relate to his musical day dreams.
This film shows all stages of a relationship – the crush, the beginning, the fights, the end and even moving on.
12. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Sometimes you just need a good laugh after a break-up.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall was the break-out film for Russel Brand’s movie career and is one of his best films to date.
The hilarious story of a man trying to get over his ex-girlfriend by travelling to Hawaii only for her and her new man to show up on the same island.
This is definitely a comedy is watch with a gang after a split.
13. My Best Friend’s Girl
If you’re not a pro in sarcasm yet, this is the film that will teach you all you need to know.
My Best Friend’s Girl is the ultimate mates-over-dates story.
Starring Kate Hudson, Dane Cook and Jason Biggs, it is one of the best films to make you appreciate your friends.
If you haven’t seen this hilarious masterpiece, catch it on Netflix.
14. How To Be Single
This hit cinemas last year and it’s absolutely PERFECT if you want to feel good about being back on the market.
Starring Dakota Johnson and the hilarious Rebel Wilson, the story follows Dakot’s character adjusting to single life.
There’s a few different romance stories in the movie, and you’ll end up looking forward to life on your own for a while.
15. Trainwreck
Last but not least, who better to make you feel good about yourself than Amy Schumer?
The actress pretty much plays herself in the hilarious rom-com, with surprisingly touching moments.
You’ll get a good laugh, and an excuse to cry some more too…
