Movies on subjects we deal with everyday are my favorite stories to watch. Itâs difficult enough to make our lives more fulfilling when everyone else is spilling over a happy ending, which as a society isnât what we are dealing with at all. A lot of my time is spent away from my family with frequent business trips for Dish; having realistic movies as a companion makes me feel less alone. Blue Valentine is a wonderful film about the sadness and difficulty relationships face today, given Gosling and Williams ability to express pure passion into their characters. My hubby and I try to get together even when we are not physically sharing time with a movie night; we starting subscribing to Blockbuster @Home for this purpose. It gives us a chance to do something together via the live streaming options when we canât cry together on the couch like we love watching a great film like Revolutionary Road.

Awesome list. I'd add Eyes Wide Shut to it. That's like a relationship horror movie.

Thanks for mentioning/remembering Crazy Love. I was lucky enough not to know the original story (and the trailer revealed little), so it still ranks as one of the most 'jaw on the floor shocking' documentary narratives I've ever seen. While No End In Sight and/or Taxi To the Dark Side were arguably the 'best' documentaries of 2007, Crazy Love is easily among the most flat-out entertaining of the last several years.

Glad to see âScenes from a Marriageâ on the list. I happened to see it (the full 5+ hour version) while I was in the midst of a separation and I practically melted watching it — it was like looking into a relationship mirror (and not a pretty one). Its realism and its emotionally devastating power are felt almost exclusively through dialogue rather than action, which is at once biting and cruel and sensitive and caring.

It's unthinkinable that this list can exclude John Cassavetes' FACES.

The Republic of Two? I made the film, so of course I\’d add it to this great list. Many of these films inspired me. I agree about A Separation. Amazing film.
