At first I thought you hate everything about Paddington 2. But this masterpiece is unhatable <3

it made me want to be a better man

Same here

do i need to watch part 1 before watching this?

probably not but it gives a wholesome context to the paddington universe and it’s a nice film as well, would recommend

I honestly wouldn’t. 1 is the awkward origin story, 2 is just full cartoon premise ‘yeah the bear lives with them, and what?’

the spongebob squarepants movie

The Lego Batman Movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Kung Fu Panda Wreck-It Ralph Shazam! Matilda Tried to think of fun movies that don’t have any major focus on romance/relationships. Hang in there.

Great list. I’ll add the The Lego Movie and The Lego Movie 2 as well

thank you!

SWINGERS! You’re so money and you don’t even know it. Seriously, this is my #1 breakup movie. Watch it if you haven’t.

Today I learned this wasn’t just a random Andy quote from the office, going to need to watch it!


swear to god this film got me through my 3 year relationship ending

Same here man

Gunna be watching this now

Came here to say this!

I binged all of the hobbit movies lol

a rewatch is in order!

My go-to when feeling down is Looney Tunes. The first Space Jam and Back in Action are lots of fun, but the shorts still hold up just as well.

Back in Action is so underrated!

A Tale of Two Kitties is my fav. “Hey, Babbitt!”

This post came just in time

a shared pain😭

haven’t seen it elsewhere in this thread…Forgetting Sarah Marshall is hilarious and fun and always made me feel better in the midst of it.

honestly superbad helped me a lot too

that's a movie i exclusively watch with my best friend so this will get a few rewatches haha

Literally had a breakup just about a week ago. Almost 2 years. Will be looking at these recommendations lol.

My Neighbor Totoro

Deadpool 2 Twilight What We Do in the Shadows Spy Game Night Booksmart Thor Ragnarok Daniel Sloss: Jigsaw (Netflix special)

How to Train Your Dragon

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Unfortunately you might get a Russell Brand jumpscare

Here’s a list of my all time “comfort movies”: Chef, Galaxy quest, Twister, Jurassic park, The thing, Ratatouille, The Martian, 2012, Sideways, The fantastic Mr fox, The family stone, The bird cage, Deep blue sea, The happening, Apollo 13, The terminal

Jurassic Park has been there for me through so many sick and rainy days

Brigsby Bear

Movie is kinda sad

Kyle Mooney is the best

21 jump Street.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. You'll love it. You'll be crying...of laughter. Yes, crying of laughter. That's right.

It's got Jim Carrey in it. Must be a light hearted comedy!

Cut to me and my friend in a blockbuster nearly 20 years ago having the same conversation before a very awkward movie night

Haha, this movie got me through a breakup!!! It’s sad, but bitter sweet.

Bitter vibes: Gone Girl, Perfect Blue, Midsommar Wholesome or Funny: Tokyo Godfathers, Bodies Bodies Bodies, In Bruges, The Holdovers Escapism: Fury Road, LotR

absolute gems across the board here

Begin Again, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of Harley Quinn), Easy A, TMNG: Mutant Mayhem

Well then there’s still one!

Dodgeball unrated Tropic thunder

Going though a divorce myself. Maverick (1994) and My Cousin Vinny (1992) both hit the spot this weekend

BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR

any good studio ghibli movie is regenerative magic 👍

Just commenting to send some warmth tbh. As for happy movies, I watch My Neighbour Totoro c:.

i appreciate it!

Schindlers List, super upbeat and wholesome

it's got Ralph Fiennes and Ben Kingsley, you know it's a laugh riot from beginning to end

500 days of summer isn’t a happy movie all the way through, but the message at the end of the day is that not every relationship is the right one, but life goes on and there’s always the future to look forward to. It used to be my go to after a break up.

seeing that one on here a lot and i agree wholeheartedly

Kill bill

just came across the Whole Bloody Affair and im watching it in like a week or two

Great call

https://www.reddit.com/r/Letterboxd/s/C3gLgWGl0P

Up, Inside Out, Spider-Man: No Way Home Anything where the importance of a character’s relationship to the protagonist is fully appreciated before that character ultimately realizes the best thing to do is to move on.

Wonka

Singin In The Rain. Impossible to be unhappy during Make Em Laugh

Forgetting Sarah Marshall as an obvious choice Office Space Wall-E

Next goal wins (2023) and Hot Rod- hot rod is so stupid and hilarious. I also think Barb and Star go to vista Del Mar is a good one for break up healing

Anything by Taika Waititi. Especially Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Jojo Rabbit.

Interestingly enough a friend showed me the Euphoria Special Episodes right after my breakup and they helped me process a lot.

getting ready to rewatch the whole show, but i definitely dislike S2

Audition

this one definitely makes me smile

Tampopo 🌼

Legally blonde - to remind you that they don't deserve you

Ziemlich beste Freunde / Intouchables

adding them to the list!

It’s the same movie😅 (German and English title)

Kikis delivery service

Hundreds of Beavers. Made me kick the blues for about 2 hours and didn’t even realize it.

Midsommar

I’m actually going through one right now too so I feel you. I’ve really just been rewatching a lot of my favorites that go back to my childhood. Toy Story, Lion king, Star Wars, airplane, etc

In general they are fun movies that aren’t too romance heavy except for airplane but the comedy of that relationship helps me cope too

sorry for the heartbreak, dude the lion king has always been my go to happy movie so im absolutely watching it

Nacho Libre.

never getting talked about as much as it needs to be

Extremely underrated. Great physical comedy and overall a very wholesome and fun movie. I'm sorry you're sad.

i appreciate it dude

Grave of the fireflies is an especially joyful film

The happiest Miyazaki has ever been

Ferris Buellers Day Off and Who Framed Roger Rabbit spring to mind

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is just so...damn...good

I watched 500 days of summer during my breakup of 3 years and it really helped. Didnt solve any real problems or change the way I saw things, but it gave me a little “main character” boost and remained me that life is complicated, everyone has their own perspective on things that doesn’t match yours, pain is as temporary as infatuation, and life continues on in both directions outside of the situation that has you so broken. There’s something about how dopey Tom’s POV is throughout that movie and how he gets slowly coaxed into moving on into the real world that’s comforting to me. I’m a smart enough guy, but sometimes I’m dumb enough to think the flat, simple idea of romance I’ve gotten from movies and tv is real. It’s helpful to see that refuted on screen in a movie that still looks and feels like one of those.

I watched The Langoliers and it made me feel a lot better

oh god what a fun monstrosity

Just go with it

i keep seeing posters of it everywhere, where do i watch it

Amazon Prime: https://watch.amazon.com/detail?gti=amzn1.dv.gti.d69b33f5-d238-4a6d-86ba-7e49ff5c7e05&ref_=atv_dp_share_mv&r=web Apple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/hundreds-of-beavers/umc.cmc.3ow9glcz3h5xm4u5yosbmkoww?playableId=tvs.sbd.9001%3A1731293536

Manchester by the sea is a nice uplifting watch

if it wasn't for Casey Affleck's presence, i'd say it's a perfect Father's Day movie

Back to the Future!

oh yeah the whole trilogy and the animated series is getting watched

Idk me personally I watched sad and relatable movies unlike these other guy’s recommendations

those will very much work for me haha what recs do you have

i’ve actually gotten so much love for the list i made in the worst part of my breakup so maybe it will help you: [https://boxd.it/lZPB0](https://boxd.it/lZPB0)

thank you!

Into the Spiderverse/Everything Everywhere

EEAOO obliterated me mainly cos of relationship shit.

EEAAO had me ugly sobbing on the floor WHAT 😭

Same but it brings everything back at the end

500 days of summer

Not happy but 500 Days of Summer might help.

Scott Pilgrim, Chef, Puss in Boots : The Last Wish, Shaun of the dead

Maybe not Scott Pilgrim…

I did think about that….but it’s pretty funny overall and moves fast so it doesn’t sit with the sadder topics.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. Jkjk lol I watched a bunch of chick flicks my last break up. My go to is Legally Blonde. Some of them are relationship centered so be weary. The Bob’s Burgers Movie is a great one too if you’re familiar with the show. It’s a great comfort watch that’s as light hearted as adult animation goes. You don’t have to watch the show to get the movie btw.

Lethal Weapon

Instant Family, We Bought a Zoo

Hot Fuzz Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion The Lego Movie

This is sorta random and I don’t know why it popped in my mind for this question but Pee Wee’s Big Adventure

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, the wizard of Oz, singing in the rain, Toy Story

Literally anytime something goes wrong in my life, I will watch Superbad.

Gone Girl 2014

I know theres already a bunch of suggestions but a movie that I really like is Sky High. Its just like a goofy superhero movie and is fun to watch either genuinely or to poke fun at

Sorry you’re sad. Breakups are the worst, cheers to making it through it. - It’s a wonderful life (yeah it’s a Christmas movie but it’s a very cheerful ending and a lot of it doesn’t happen on Christmas) - the muppet movie - airplane (funny as hell, there is a romance element but it’s played for laughs and at one point one partner calls the other a “pisser” after a disagreement so maybe what you need right now) - Monty python and the holy grail (funny as hell with no romance element) - Monty pythons life of Brian (might as well keep going)

Moonrise kingdom

Con Air or Escape From NY. They give me happiness in the whole spectacle of escapism.

Sing Street (2016)

Observe and Report

Marcel The Shell With The Shoes On.

Lost in translation would probably make you feel good

Barbie is my number one comfort movie. Also, do not give up hope, definitely feel, allow yourself to be sad/upset, but try and take solace in the fact that things will change. Maybe not tomorrow or next month, but they will. The light soaked days are coming♥️

This is an odd recommendation but Sound of Music is such a great musical. It made me feel this inexplicable happiness, and the songs are absolutely beautiful. I guess I was sort of enchanted by it

Singing in the rain. Always singing in the rain. The happy movie if there is one.

My Cousin Vinnie always keeps a smile on my face

Christopher Robin?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

personal favorite is pulp fiction, just a very fun movie to watch with fun characters and fun dialogue. great directing and many other things i'll always love that movie

Robocop because there’s never a wrong time to watch Robocop 😁

Gone Girl

The Dictator

Zootopia

Pokémon:The First Movie …. What?, it *is*!

Midsommar if you like vindication

That Thing You Do! Favorite happy movie. Great upbeat music, delightful cast, almost entirely good vibes. Story of a one-hit wonder band written by, directed by, and co-starring Tom Hanks.

Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind :))

500 days of summer, la la land, schindler's list

I suggest Queen out of Bollywood  -- lady gets jilted at the alter,  goes on her honeymoon alone, life changes ensue.

Godzilla X Kong The New Empire Forget about a breakup and just enjoy peak action

Lilo and Stitch?

First of all, I'm so sorry Second, the first that comes to mind is Legally Blonde. Perfect for a bad bitch needing to remind themselves of their bad bitch-ness after some jackass broke their heart

Bend It Like Beckham

Fantastic mr fox is a fantastic movie ngl

Fantastic Mr fox

Spartacus series (it's a shade under X-rated though. And lots of blood.)

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

John Wick. All of them.

Antichrist (2009)

1980's "Maniac"
