On this piece, we’ve gathered 15 films that celebrate friendship and finding yourself. Being single doesn’t have to be that horrible thing that society wants you to think.
Being single means, doing what you want when you want but it also means the freedom of choosing what you want to do with your free time. Like maybe watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
In other words, being single is amazing, and here we share 15 films to make you feel the awesomeness of being independent.
1. American Beauty (1999)
Nothing like the story of a very miserable husband to make you feel super happy about being single.
2. 500 Days of Summer (2009)
This is a classic on why being in a relationship doesn’t always mean you’ll have a happy ending. “Just because she likes the same bizarro crap you do doesn’t mean she’s your soulmate.”
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
This cult movie is relatable to anyone who has been in a relationship that feels like the end of the world when it’s all over. By just watching this you’ll most definitely feel so light about being single and skipping all that drama.
4. Gone Girl (2014)
This suspenseful movie makes you realize how crazy relationships can get, but it can also help you see how to turn your world upside down and stop depending on other people.
5. Blue Valentine (2010)
Nothing like watching a dysfunctional marriage on a downward spiral to feel happy to be on your own. This movie portrays the realistic heartbreak of a relationship ending.
6. Waiting to Exhale (1995)
This film is all about women sticking together with another woman to triumph over every little bump they may encounter. Watching with a group of friends is perfect.
7. Uptown Girls (2003)
Maybe the first half of the movie is all about a girl chasing the guy but at the end is all worth it when she realizes she needs to stand for herself.
8. Eat. Pray. Love (2010)
The classic after-breakup movie but there’s something very satisfying about watching women get out of a loveless marriage and take control about her own life doing the things she likes.
9. Revolutionary Road (2008)
It shows how an unhappy marriage can be way worst than just happy single.
10. Fatal Attraction (1987)
When you are in a relationship with a person who is a creepy stalker and has serious desires to kill your whole family, well it’s best to choose the single life!
11. How To Be Single (2016)
Even though when you are through a break-up you can feel your whole world upside down, it actually is a blessing you just haven’t realize yet.
12. The Color Purple (1985)
Is so empowering to see Celie take her life into her hands and finally see what she actually wants will make you instantly feel good
13. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
There’s something about watching her take over her career and not ending with the guy that makes it all so worth it. Also, it breaks the stereotype about all romantic movies.
14. The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)
Another one by Anne Hathaway. Even though this is a Disney movie is so not about finding the perfect love and happy ever after. Instead, it’s about finding yourself and how powerful and influential you can be without being dependant on a significant other.
15. Closer (2004)
This movie is about very very complicated relationships and well how apparently everyone love to cheat. I bet you’ll feel filled with joy not to be in this kind of relationships but instead, looking out for yourself.
