Films that can get the girl you're 'in love' with off your mind?
DO NOT WATCH CASING AMY. I made that mistake when I was in a similar situation, and it just deepened the sad times.
I would recommend more recent fare, preferably loud and fast paced, but still of a good enough quality to keep you distracted. Something like Star Trek or Speed usually does the trick for me. Also Clerks II.
films are very likely 2 make your mind drift as anything seen or said can remind u of that girl
playing a computer game like star wars lego is more successful because of the active involvement u have and when u are constantly using brainpower in ways such as solving puzzles and shooting stormtroopers u are also having fun
u can easily engross yourself into a game like this 4 the same duration as a film without interference from real life :O)
only you can decided
do you need to see lots of beautiful females, be reminded of all the other options out there
disaster/tragedy movies, get things into perspective
letting go, feeling grief, moving on type narratives
maybe a combo of all three would be a help, depending on yr mood
John Carpenter’s THE THING.
“In a world without women…”
That IS quite a hottie.
I’d recommend anything with Megan Fox, preferably the TRANSFORMERS movies, which alternate shots of hot Ms. Fox with rousing giant robot action.
Or a Marilyn Monroe movie. THE SEVEN-YEAR ITCH, SOME LIKE IT HOT, THE MISFITS, MONKEY BUSINESS, ALL ABOUT EVE, THE ASPHALT JUNGLE, RIVER OF NO RETURN, HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE, etc.
Watch a film with Daphne Rosen and you’ll laugh in the face of that stupid ex-girlfriend or dumb floozy who jilted you.
Your ex-girlfriend was a friggin’ waste of space. La Rosen has beauty and booty…erm, I mean beauty and brains. A woman who is pleasing to behold, loves science fiction, goes to the movies and talks politics with the best of them.
Women who lose their men to the Barbra Streisand of Pornography only have themselves to blame. Girls, you weren’t taking good enough care of him. Just shut up and accept it—men need The Kosher Queen.
Men need Daphne Rosen.
I’d say: Get off your ass and talk to her about films. We girls secretly love having talks where we’re listening and the guy is talking. Unless she knows about films as well. Then choose something else. Quantum physics maybe.
Especially if she looks like THAT.
Antichrist
id go with Annie Hall personally
or something cynical
(ran perhaps?)
unrequited love can be a bitch. you need something epic and sprawling to put it context.
the lord of the rings trilogy or all 5 seasons of the wire or the human condition or bela tarr movies etc.
or there’s always hud. patricia neal as ‘the one that got away’
@ ROLPH90, Antichrist turned me off of sex completely for a good month. Excellent choice.
Only bad movies get girls off my mind. Good movies only make me wish I was seeing them with a girl who appreciated them, and movies that are good but incredibly unromantic and disturbing make me wish I had a girl who had a different perspective on it to discuss it with me. Bad movies are the, “Well thank God I didn’t take anyone to a date to this…”
Actually, I’m lying. Bad movies make me wish there was a girl to make out with so that I wouldn’t have to pay attention to the movie. Did I mention that that’s my new theory on why Twilight is so successful?

I’ll second Antichrist.
Mademoiselle Chambon
But I still recommend “Say Anything”….
Honestly I try to just make the film, not to sound too artsy.
And I don’t mean a film about breaking up or even about love … but when I get hung up on something or someone … I just pump it out via script or something.

Who the hell are you talking about?
WHAT are you talking about?
trust me family. she does not know and does not want to know anything about films.
Definitely Audition.
Then again that film might make you feel completely defeated. <—— ( funny pun )
Antichrist
Yeah Mark get off your ass, heh.
Maybe a good documentary might work…
I’d say find out the movie that she absolutely loved, but you thought was completely horrible and watch it enough times. The association between her and that film will be: “Man I can’t believe I liked someone with such shitty taste in films.” Worked for me.
Irreversible, Straw Dogs, Dogville.
^Second that suggestion. I actually think that’s as effective as it gets. Works with music too.
I ment to second Pavel Richardson’s suggestion..hehe.

TRAITÉ DE BAVE ET D ÈTERNITÉ (Venom and Eternity) France 1951 B&W 111 Min. Directed by Jean Isidore Isou
It’s been 26 days, Beneezy; surely you’ve forgotten her by now.
Beneezy
Sometimes when you fancy a girl and you “know” that there’s just no chance at all that you can be with her, you’ve got to forget about her. Right? Am I wrong? Ok sure whatever. Any film suggestions are welcome. Now it’s time to wash off all the memories of this wicked girl.
