Film recommendations after a break up ?

[Freelikeabirdy]

Any film or tv recommendations that show strong woman, coming out of the break up even better?

Rewatched all the sex and the city series after my breakup, really uplifting. Also Bridget Jones. I was single in my early thirties

Not particularly about women breaking up and being stronger for it, but Sisters (Tina Fey and Amy Poehler) is rude, funny and sweet and my favourite feel good film if that's any help.

Anything with a strong female lead tbh. Which speaks volumes about how relationships beat women down.

Avatar is excellent for nature worshipping hippies like me

Shirley Valentine
Thelma and Louise
The Good Wife
Good Girls
Fried Green Tomatoes

Spinster - it's everything I wanted from a breakup film.

Thunder Force, good fun with strong women and no bullshit

Thibk I'd stick to action films and slapstick comedy if I were you op. Even if they display a strong woman coming out of a break up, guarantee the ending will still be some shite about them finding someone else.

Stick to Jackie chan and Bruce Willis for a bit lol.

First wives club
War of the Roses (love Kathleen Turner in all films)

100% First Wives Club!

I also fall into a well of Grey’s Anatomy. Cathartic!

An obvious one would be How To Be Single

Diary of a mad black woman..on Netflix. I love Tyler Perry films.
The other Woman is also quite amusing at times.

This is a bit out there and may not quite fit your criteria re: strong woman, but I saw 500 Days of Summer for the first time the other day and thought it was amazing. It's from the guy's POV but it really made me think (about a situation I have with an ex and being able to let go), has a great soundtrack and is bittersweet/funny in places.

Oh and Working Girl secretly my favorite film is the ultimate strong woman film, sticking two fingers up at her bastard slimy Alec Baldwin ex.

I really like Girl most likely.

I second 'how to be single, its amazing

Midsommar.

Sort of

@Immunetypegoblin

Midsommar.

Sort of

💯 best break up film ..I speak from experience.

And post divorce...Gone Girl 😁

I go dark. It's more cathartic

He’s just not that into you (love the bit where Gigi says she basically won’t compromise who she is even if it means she gets hurt… it was a turning point for me coming out of a shit relationship. I was then single for ages with that in my head and then went on to meet dh - we’ve been together 12 years now)!

I like the Midsommer suggestion, if you like a bit extreme.

I was going to say Legally Blonde on Amazon Prime?

I looked for the good wife but couldn’t see it anywhere except pay per episode on Amazon prime

Midsommar looks good, think I may watch that tonight and treat myself to a Chinese. I’ve been catching up on Love Island but that’s just annoying me even more 🤣

Wild - Reese Witherspoon

Californication- I loved it!

Someone Great on Netflix. Watched it during my breakup and it made me feel a bit better. It's basically a women coming out of a long term relationship and how she deals with the breakup. Nice light hearted comedy rather than anything too deep. I second He's just not that into you too, one of my favourite movies.

Oh and I highly recommend Why Women Kill. Best show I have watched in years from the writers of Desperate Housewives. I had never heard of it and it came up on my suggested boxsets on Virgin. I think it's free to watch anywhere though as it's on UKTV play.

I second @MintyCedric - Sisters (on Netflix) is fucking hilarious
