Films with no love or sex

I'm heartbroken at the moment and I need to not contact him for a while which isn't going to be easy. So I neeD something to take my mind off him. Films are a good distraction but I need some with NO sex or love themes otherwise it's not going to work.

What are some good, entertaining films like this?

It's honestly the best kids film ever.
Going off recent films; Toy Story 3 (1 and 2 as well). Inception. Shutter Island.

Hot Fuzz if you miss a few minutes at the beginning!
Saw + most horror films
Some children's films maybe?

Tbh I think you might struggle to find a film with no love/sex in it. I just had a quick look at my DVD shelf and most of the films have at least a little bit.

They are pretty romantically charged in places.

Actually Battle Royale becomes quite focused on that couple and how they can't sacrifice the other in order for one to live etc, kind of romantic with a lot of guns and heads blowing up in between. Good film! :smile:
Its interesting that pretty much every film I think of which I enjoyed has themes of sex or love..
Fight Club? There is love/sex, it's important to the storyline and all that, but I can't imagine even the most heartbroken person being sad over it. Or the Godfather for a similar thought. Ok, yeah, every movie ever is baaaad when you want to avoid love/sex completely. Oh, oh, Star trek movies have to be ok, right?

Try HelloMovie (website with uber listings). Dunno if it'd help, but still.

Also: *hug*

Toy Story 3 had more sexual tension in it than the elastic band on Berlusconi's boxer shorts when he sees a 14 year old girl, I don't think that would be quite the best choice. I'd suggest Kung-Fu Panda. Great film.

I wouldn't be too sure, the narrators lust/love for Marla, but simultaneous hatred and rejection might be a little too close to home for a broken hearted individual.

Fair point. I didn't really notice it as anything other than background to the rest, mostly.

Kill bill volume 1, then. :smile: (not volume 2, obv)
