prior relationships romanticizing some
all wild pining over his most recent ex
Laura can you see your name on that list
Laura eventually Rob even makes a top 5
list of most significant breakups
something we can appreciate here at
WatchMojo and contact a few of his exes
trying to figure out why he can’t seem
to keep a good thing going
kidding me with its strong performances
and great soundtrack high fidelity also
received mostly positive reviews from
critics you are you are going through
one of those what does it all mean
things I can’t believe you robbed number
4 Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
do I know you
everyone has had a relationship that
they would like to forget she wanted to
move on we provided that possibility in
this romantic sci-fi comedy-drama a
fictional procedure allows you to do
just that
don’t the eraser guys are coming here so
what if you take me somewhere else
somewhere where I don’t belong
so after Joel’s ex Clementine erases him
entirely from her memory he impulsively
decides to do the same to her ok ok the
film implies that it’s never better to
forget someone once loved we should
instead remember both the good times as
well as the bad and when we choose to
forget someone we are losing a piece of
our own history and ourselves remember
me
try your best
maybe we can making over three times its
budget at the box office
eternal sunshine also scored high with
critics and an Oscar for Best Screenplay
I told
be in Monda number three Blue Valentine
you want a divorce
Dericks and Frances beautiful and
heartbreaking masterpiece shows a young
couple with the narrative alternating
between their hopeful courtship and the
last days of their marriage several
years later
unlike many of the other films on this
list both characters are given equal
importance and presented as good yet
flawed people I don’t know I want you to
tell me what’s going on I want to know
you got me feeling sick you know
a very intuitive their breakup is not
caused by a defining moment or character
flaw rather it’s a slow and sad decline
to the realization that they are no
longer what they once were good asshole
oh you can call me sue out of love with
you I’ve got nothing left for you
nothing nothing it’s tough but realistic
portrayal of love gone wrong earned its
actors multiple Award nominations just
make sure you’ve got a box of tissues
for this one number two 500 days of
summer um don’t go you’re still my best
friend right from the start it’s made
clear that this is not a love story
you’ve broken up with girls before
yes and girls are broken up with you
before this is different why cuz it’s
summer by following a hopeless romantic
Tom and the ups and downs of his
idealized relationship with the aloof
beauty summer this romantic comedy drama
shows the difference between a person’s
perceptions of his life versus reality
Shelley casual and take it slow
impression we see various points in the
500 days of Tom’s infatuation presented
out of order ranging from Tom being
completely in love with summer one
moment and miserable and furious with
her in the next I never wanted to be
anybody’s girlfriend and I somebody’s
wife this rarely used storytelling
structure helped 500 days of summer
become a sleeper hit while its portrayal
of a guy’s perspective on heartbreak was
a fresh spin on the rom-com genre I
should

really hurt him like many of the movies
that emulate it Annie Hall examines
various moments in the couple’s
relationship you at Grammy Hall we call
a real do and it’s deterioration jumping
