What Can You Watch Me Before You On

Okay, so you're about to dive into the world of Me Before You. Get ready for ALL the feels! But, before you grab your tissues and settle in, let's talk about what to watch BEFORE you watch it.

Rom-Com Ready?

First up, if you're feeling like you need a little lighthearted romance to buffer the potential sadness bomb, I highly recommend Crazy Rich Asians. It’s pure escapism and will remind you that love can be sparkly and fun, even if it’s wrapped in family drama.

Need something a little less 'rich people problems' and more 'real life struggles with a dash of sunshine'? Try The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. The chemistry is off the charts and you'll laugh so hard you might forget what you're prepping for!

Prepare for the Drama!

Now, if you're thinking, "Nah, I'm tough! I can handle the emotional rollercoaster!" then let's brace ourselves with some pre-emptive weep-fests.

P.S. I Love You is a classic for a reason. Prepare to ugly-cry as Hilary Swank navigates life after loss. You'll need a solid hour to recover after that one!

Or, if you prefer your drama a bit more historical, check out Atonement. Keira Knightley and James McAvoy will break your heart into a million little pieces. Prepare for beautiful cinematography and soul-crushing decisions!

Something a Little Different?

Maybe you’re looking for something that's not *strictly* romantic but explores similar themes of connection and life's big questions.

Have you seen The Intouchables? This French film is an absolute gem. It’s about an unlikely friendship that blossoms between a wealthy quadriplegic and his caregiver. Warning: subtitles are involved, but it's worth it.

Another great option is Silver Linings Playbook. It deals with mental health and finding connection in unexpected places. It's funny, heartwarming, and features some amazing performances from Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Plus, it’s proof that happy endings are possible even when life gets messy.

Bonus Round!

Okay, okay, I know you’re probably thinking, "Enough with the sad stuff!" But trust me on this one last recommendation. This isn't a movie, but a TV show. After Life, written and directed by Ricky Gervais, is surprisingly moving, even amidst all the dark humour. It deals with grief in a very raw and honest way. You can stream it on Netflix.

Ultimately, the best movie to watch before Me Before You is whatever puts you in the right headspace. Whatever helps you open your heart and prepares you for a story that will stay with you long after the credits roll. So grab your snacks, your tissues (you'll thank me later!), and get ready for a movie experience.
