Worlds Top 10 Romantic painful movies

We know better than to switch on the radio after a break up, because no one wants to hear all those sappy love songs in such a vulnerable state. While movies might be a safer bet with comedies like Forgetting Sarah Marshal to help ease the pain, we recommend any recent dumpee proceed down the video store aisles with caution to avoid our top 10 list of the most painful romances to watch after a split.
1. The Notebook

This one rips your heart out of your chest, throws it on the ground, stomps on it, then picks it up and puts it back in. You think you've been through it all with the tumultuous romance of the young lovers, but once that's resolved, it just gets worse. Suddenly you live the daily torture of a love rendered unrequited by Alzheimer's disease. The movie totally sets you up to know its coming and it still gets you anyway.
2. Say Anything
This may just be the most perfect relationship every imagined, let alone put on film. Lloyd just knows exactly how to make a woman feel comfortable and Diane totally comes out of her shell around him. That's enough to make you feel like crap by comparison, but then the scene where she breaks up with him with a pen is the crushing blow.
3. The Bridges of Madison Country
This may be the only story that actually makes you root for adultery, so much so that you feel bad when they're not able to cheat together. The sophisticated later life romance Robert Kinkaid offers simple housewife Francesca is what she deserves. When they decide they can't betray her family and he hangs the necklace from the rearview mirror, every moment she doesn't jump out of the car and into his arms is painful.
4. Love Story
Well, they tell you right off the bat that she's gonna die, so how happy do you think it's going to be? Along the way, as Oliver and Jennifer make it work despite their vastly different social upbringings, you'll just stew in wonderment of why you can't defy the odds to meet someone who's just as perfect for you. Then you don't even get to keep the fantasy couple because she DIES!
5. Casablanca
Sixty-some years doesn't make it any easier to watch Rick let Ilsa go. Through black and white grainy film and a mono soundtrack, the pain of an unattainable love returning to taunt you with potential stands the test of time.
6. The Full Monty
This is supposed to be totally uplifting and rousing, but for anyone who happens to watch it right after a breakup and will just be obsessed with the married couple. It will leave you wondering, “Why couldn't I find a partner who would love and support me and encourage me to get naked in public” Don't let this weigh on your heart at such an emotional time.
7. Titanic
The most painful thing about Titanic is that it didn't even have to end tragically. It would have been just as good a story if the young lovers on the Titanic floated away to safety and grew up to be 90-year-olds together. But no, they just had to go for the tearjerker, so now the Oscar winner is unwatchable by recent dumpees.
8. All James Bond Movie’s:
On the surface you would think kick-ass action was safe, but the thing about 007 is it just reminds you that you'll either never hook up with as many hotties as Bond, or that you'll never be seduced by a suave gentleman like Bond. We all know it's a total fantasy, yet you don't have all your faculties to remind yourself that you can't measure your life by his standards, so play it safe.
9. Ghost
Talk about two hours of setting you up to cry. You already know he's dead in the first act, but you spend the whole movie hoping they can still be together with his ghostly powers. They even get a moment when he possesses Whoopi Goldberg’s character, but it all just ends inevitably, which will only remind you of how your relationship just inevitably died.
10. The Bodyguard

Obviously, it's not the first film about two lovers who ultimately cannot be together and it is probably not the best, but it just really feels like they should be able to make it work and that bodyguard is just too stubborn. Plus it's got love songs incorporated into the film so that's a double whammy.

Hollywood comedy flick Son of Rombow synopsis & Wall Papers

Synopsis:
In 1980's Britain, young Will Proudfoot is raised in isolation among The Brethren, a puritanical religious sect in which music and TV are strictly forbidden. When Will encounters his first movie, a pirated copy of "Rambo: First Blood," his imagination is blown wide open. Now, Will sets out to join forces with the seemingly diabolical school bully, Lee Carter, to make their own action epic, devising wildly creative, on-the-fly stunts, not to mention equally elaborate schemes for creating a movie of total commitment and non-stop thrills while hiding out from The Brethren. When school popularity finally descends on Will and Lee in the form of, oui, the super-cool French exchange student, Didier Revol, their remarkable new friendship and precious film are pushed, quite literally, to the breaking point.

"The Life Before Her Eyes" Review

More abstract and colorful than his first picture, House of Sand and Fog, director Vadim Perelman takes Evan Rachel Wood (Across the Universe) and Uma Thurman sleepwalking in a somber piece called The Life Before Her Eyes.
Both actresses play Diana at different ages. As a youth, she stands with her best friend, Maureen (Eva Amurri), as they face a lone school gunman in the fictional Briar Hill, encapsulating Jonesboro, Paducah, Columbine, Virginia Tech and DeKalb as one thick, throbbing vein for cutting. The whole movie delivers a persistent sense of dread.
Using a back and forth technique with Diana as pivot point—Wood as student, Thurman as adult—the siege is graphically rendered and recalled. For the expanding numbers of random violence victims—at Lane Bryant, McDonald's or at church—this will either strike a nerve or serve as catharsis. The Life Before Her Eyes, finishing its bone-chilling prolog with unseen gunshots, is violent. Like Perelman's previous picture, which also contains too much symbolism, The Life Before Her Eyes connects, and not only because one wants to see adult Diana recover from past trauma. Wounded older Diana, thanks to Thurman's subtle performance (and she is at her best), is like an apparition.
It is as if something about the shooting totally destroyed her soul. Perelman, working from Laura Kasischke's novel and Emil Stern's screenplay, provides clues with the prelude to massacre, subsequently running a loop of girl chat, notes passed between desks, crushes—the stuff of adolescence, leading to a happy stroll before class, ending with an executioner. Amurri and Wood are too adult to pass for high school students and the timeline is distracting with the mind racing to reckon with the use of cellular phones, Oriental tattoos and girls calling one another "dude." But amid Christian fish symbols, topical references to the potential for life and bold images of flowers, birds and bees, those initial mystery gunshots ricochet throughout the slowly paced plot. They shatter on mirror images that reflect the past or project the future. Whether it works depends upon one's estimate of younger Diana. Wood's gangly youth and Thurman's live wire are missing some crucial metaphysical fact that has yet to be shown. When it is, and it is, plainly and without adornment, it's a mission accomplished. It's not as if Perelman doesn't hint, casting sunbeams around a pool of black-red blood and seeding The Life Before Her Eyes with its anti-life morality of altruism.
Disturbed older Diana is an art teacher with a rebellious daughter enrolled in a Catholic education and a husband who is distant. Hers is a suburban life that seems permanently poisoned by that day of atrocity. She finally breaks down in the bathroom. Thurman comes through.
Wood plays to type, another whim-worshipping waif who seduces a bad boy in the swimming pool. Her character is not entirely vacant—she's like a groupie with a bus ticket home in her back pocket—and her scenes with Amurri's Maureen add depth. The girls earn their bond. When it is threatened, tension rises.
The unresolved conflict—who will live, who will die—is the only way to arrive at The Life Before Her Eyes's tragic theme that life is fleeting, fate trumps choice and—as every other movie in the last 15 years insists—civilized man is doomed. Unlike, say, the eerie but empty The Sixth Sense; at least one does not feel cheated at the outcome.
Neither does one feel that the best has been lost, which is why the impact is muffled. When Diana and Maureen tremble at gunpoint, they represent the potential for life more than they represent life. In this regard, though realistic in depicting that sacrifice equals death, the intelligent The Life Before Her Eyes ends with blood on its hands.

Hollywood movie “Deal” synopsis & stills

Synopsis:
Tommy Vinson, an ex-gambler, quit the game of Texas Hold'em over 30 years ago after missing a family emergency and swearing to his wife, Helen, "never again." Tommy tries to be content with his luggage business but while watching a poker tournament on television, he sees someone who reminds him of his younger self, Alex Stillman. Alex is a cocky, hotshot card playing senior at Yale University. Alex's parents would like him to go to law school, but Alex only dreams of playing professional poker, like the icons he sees on TV. He's close to greatness, but what he doesn't realize yet is that he focuses too much on the cards, and not the players--that's where Tommy comes in. Tommy finds Alex and makes a pact with him: he'll front Alex the high priced entry fees to all the major tournaments if Alex plays the way that Tommy wants him to. Alex's parents are sick about it, and Helen is concerned that her husband will get sucked back into the game that took him away once before. Tommy promises Helen that this will not happen because he's not the one playing, Alex is. But after Tommy and Alex have a falling out everything is off. Tommy, who's now got the appetite back for the game and a hunger to be acknowledged as the best, enters the final tournament of the poker season and ends up facing Alex, his protege, in the finals of the world series of poker.
