So, I’m watching an episode of Family Feud recently and comedian Steve Harvey asks a contestant to name the month where the most couples breakup. My immediate guess is that February would be the top answer on the board. Unfortunately other contestant playing in the fast-money round thought so too – leading her family to only accumulate around 190 or so points when all was said and done. Want to know what the top answer was? December! Yeah, they don’t make this stuff up. Or, do they? I mean that has to be one of the most depressing months of the year. Anyway, the theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme: The Break-Up.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring scenes where couples decide to call it quits. Since we’ve already covered messy divorces in film, this week is all about unmarried couples…okay?! Make sure to visit the blogs of fellow Monday Movie Meme participants. Here are my selections for this week’s The Break-Up theme.
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
There is a breakup that occurs in this romantic Sci-Fi movie. At this time, however, I just don’t recall when or how it transpires.
New Jack City
Drug Lord Nino Brown is involved in one of the most gangsta breakup scenes I’ve ever seen in this crime thriller starring Wesley Snipes, Michael Michele, Ice-T, Judd Nelson and Mario Van Peebles.
“Cancel that ho!”
Coming to America
Lisa returned ruby earrings (were they Rubys? I forget) to Akeem during the subway scene where this fast food heiress made it clear that she wanted nothing more to do with him.
