9 Movies to Watch if You Are Single

[Jude_Wills]

1. Roman Holiday (1953) IMDb-8.1

Unlike most romantic tales, the beauty of the film lies in it's ending, love cannot blind responsibilities.

2. 500 Days Of Summer (2009) IMDb-7.7

Shatters concepts: “Just because she likes the same crap you do doesn’t mean she’s your soulmate"

3. Brokeback Mountain (2005) IMDb-7.7

The consequences of compromising and living by society's rules will forever leave you unhappy.

4. Blue Valentine (2010) IMDb-7.4

People change and so does the love for them. Romantic, realistic and disturbing.

5. An Education (2009) IMDb-7.3

Being young also means being swept off your feet easily. Teaches us some of those good old-school values.

6. Waitress (2007) IMDb-7.1

After having a broken marriage, despite a sexual escapade, Jeena's choice to be a single parent is uplifting.

7. Wild (2014) IMDb-7.1

A divorced woman decides to rebuild her life by hiking along the 1100 mile-long Pacific Crest Trail, to find herself.

8. Ghost (1990) IMDb-7

Some loves are everlasting and until you find that quality again, it's worth waiting. This pair will convince you.

9. How To Be Single (2016) IMDb-6.1

Newly single Alice with the help of her wild co-worker sets out to put herself above all else.

Before you jump to conclusions, these movies do not negate the idea of love. Rather they give a realistic version of it. Real life is not about "happily ever afters". It comes with real decisions and putting yourself above everything else is the message behind all these movies.

I've seen Ghost, Brokeback Mountain and 500 Days of Summer. Not a big fan of Brokeback Mountain though. I wanna check out the rest especially How To Be Single and Roman Holiday.

[Jude_Wills]

No see long time?

[WildButterfly]

What do u mean? lol

[Jude_Wills]

I mean you come after long time

[DizzyDesii]

Ew nun of those except i do like Ghost but kinda sad to watch if single

[Pyrofox]

The title should be 9 movies to watch if your single or a couple XD. Nice MyTake XD.

[moodiemoonlight17]

Ooh! All good choices there's this one good movie I watched and it was a good singles movie lol but I forgot the name. I have watched Ghost and it made me sad. I definitely agree people would probably watch these movies and run with the idea that romance is like fairytales lol but they are very good at keeping the hope alive for singles lol!😆😆💖👍

[Salsacumbia]

Pretty woman, ghost, the note book, EverAfter, the mask of zorro, the wedding planner, La Bamba, picture perfect, 13 going on 30... thats my romantic 9 movies. there's more but can't name them all in here. Lol! 😄😉

[Jude_Wills]

U can tell me in message 😂 😂

[foreveralone22]

I hate romance movies and I hate uplifting movies, they make me feel worse about myself. The movie I watch when it's Valentine's Day is "Fatal Attraction", cause it's so anti-romantic. I also watch slasher films and dark comedies whenever I'm upset or feeling depressed which is OFTEN. I don't believe in love, even though I really want to find it. I envy those who have good boyfriends. It makes me angry when I see people in love.

[CubsterShura]

I'm taken, can I watch them? xD

I have been thinking of watching An Education for quite a long time. Will watch it after exam.

[Jude_Wills]

Hahaha lol you can't 😂😂

[CubsterShura]

But I want to watch An Education :'(

[Jude_Wills]

Hmmm ok you can watch 😂😂

[Jude_Wills]

Please smile now 😊

[CubsterShura]

Yay! 😊😊😊

[opurba]

Me before u, atonement, collateral beauty, pride and prejudice, Jane Eyre, Emma, the note book... also r nice.

[Jude_Wills]

Aap sach me 113 saal ke ho?

[JimRSmith]

Only seen Ghost on that list.

Brokeback Mountain - I'm not watching that one, ever.

[Kkaos]

Let me guess, because it's about gays?

[DizzyDesii]

Lmaooo I don't know why that cheatin bs even made the list. Thats some horrible mess. Like i dont care if u wanna be gay on the side, but dont have wives and not tell them ur bi

[JimRSmith]

@Kkaos That's right, yeah.

The beauty of it is - I get to choose what I watch - imagine that! ;)

[Kkaos]

@DizzyDesii They couldn't tell them because that was the whole point of the movie. They weren't supposed to realize they were gay and it was a secret that they both wanted to hide but couldn't ignore. You're forgetting that back then being gay was very frowned upon so they felt pressured into marrying in order to be seen as normal people. I don't know how you can say they should have come out as being homo when one of them was murdered at the end of it because people found out he was gay.

[DizzyDesii]

@Kkaos but people still deal with the hate today yet it hardly stops them from lettin everyone know

[Kkaos]

@DizzyDesii The hate today is nothing compared to what it was back then, iirc that movie was set in the 60s or something.

[RedRobin]

I love Wild and Roman Holiday. I don't think I've seen any of the others though

[ILoveAnime]

Oh, I already watched 2 of those (maybe more? not sure) But I'm always a sucker for movies so I might give it a try to the other ones.

[StingRayxoxo]

Ghost is my favorite love story.
But I’d watch all of these anyway. Blue Valentine kind of leaves you bleak.

[luvstoned4him]

Have seen Waitress, Blue Valentine and How to be single. Would like to see 500 days of summer. Sounds interesting.

[sageevalentine]

Some really cute movies in here, my personal favourite out of these is Roman Holiday

[Apope16]

These are great movie choices! I would also suggest "Blue is the Warmest Color". Its a bit sexy but very good.

[ObscuredBeyond]

Have to disagree on Brokeback. Many ex-gays I've talked to on Facebook say that pursuing every whim of their imaginations failed to bring the happiness and fulfillment it promised. It only left them hungry for more, and capable of less.

[PaynefulPleasures]

I've watched all many moons ago but Ghost hit me the hardest then but even harder now (widow)

[EyYoCandice]

Ho to be single is the worst film I have ever watched

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Ghost is nice. I would've added When Harry Met Sally and/or You've Got Mail.

[lilaqua]

How to be single is to date the only film I've ever walked out of the cinema halfway through.

[chigurl33]

Don't really watch movies but I'll try some of these

[TheNervousPotato]

I don't think that I've ever seen any of these. I'll have to give them a try. :)

[alpharoh]

I reckon they'd be great to watch with a partner as well, no?
