Well, ya know, if you watched “Five Feet Apart” and liked it real good, I reckon you’re lookin’ for some other movies that’ll do the same thing to your heart—make it hurt, make it soar, or maybe just make ya feel real emotional inside. Now, don’t ya worry, there’s plenty more movies out there just like it, where folks fall in love and face struggles they can’t escape, but still find a way to make things work somehow.
First off, let me tell ya, “Five Feet Apart” is a real tearjerker, ain’t it? It’s about these two young folks, Stella and Will, who got this illness called cystic fibrosis. They can’t be close to each other, y’know, ‘cause it might make their condition worse. But despite that, they still find themselves fallin’ for each other. It’s a real bittersweet story that shows how love can survive even the toughest of times. Now, if you liked that, let’s talk about some movies that’ll give ya that same emotional punch, but in a different way.
1. The Fault in Our Stars
Now, this one, you might’ve heard of it—“The Fault in Our Stars,” with them two young ones, Hazel and Gus. They meet in a support group for cancer patients, and wouldn’t you know, it don’t take long before they start fallin’ for each other. Just like “Five Feet Apart,” it’s all about two folks dealing with sickness and the way love can still blossom even in the hardest times. They even go on a trip to Amsterdam, and well, I won’t spoil it for ya, but it’s just as emotional, if not more, than “Five Feet Apart.” It’s a must-watch if you’re lookin’ for something that tugs at your heartstrings.
2. Everything, Everything
Now, here’s another one that’s right up the alley if you like that “close but not close enough” feel. It’s called “Everything, Everything.” This one’s got a girl named Maddy, who’s allergic to everything in the world—well, nearly everything! She can’t go outside, she can’t meet people, but then comes this boy, Olly. They start talkin’ online and gettin’ to know each other, and before long, they’re fallin’ for each other. It’s a lot like “Five Feet Apart,” where they both have to battle what’s holdin’ ‘em back in order to let love in. A real good one to watch when you’re feelin’ all emotional, I tell ya!
3. The Spectacular Now
This one’s a bit different, but still good if you’re in the mood for a young love story. It’s called “The Spectacular Now,” and it’s about two high school seniors, Sutter and Aimee. Sutter’s all about live-in-the-moment, while Aimee’s more shy and reserved. But when they get together, they start to see the world a little differently. The movie doesn’t have all that sickness stuff like in “Five Feet Apart,” but it’s still a movie that’ll make you feel all sorts of things. The ups and downs of young love, the mistakes, the heartbreak—it’s all there.
4. A Walk to Remember
This one here is a real oldie but a goodie. It’s called “A Walk to Remember,” and let me tell ya, it’s a classic if you like movies where love is sweet but life ain’t always easy. It’s about a boy, Landon, who falls for a girl named Jamie, who’s got a secret about her health. They start off kinda opposites—he’s popular, she’s not—but in the end, they find out that love can be the one thing that makes all the difference. It’s one of them stories that’ll have ya cryin’ but also feelin’ all warm inside. Just like “Five Feet Apart,” it’s about two people connectin’ in a way that’s deeper than just love; it’s about understanding, sacrifice, and cherishing the moments they got.
5. Me Before You
Oh, now if you ain’t seen “Me Before You,” you best get on that, ‘cause it’s a real emotional rollercoaster. It’s about a young woman, Louisa, who becomes a caregiver for a man named Will. Will’s been left paralyzed after a car accident, and well, things don’t look too rosy for him. But through Louisa’s bright spirit and her way of bringing joy to his life, they start to form a bond. The movie explores love, loss, and the difficult choices people have to make when life ain’t fair. Just like “Five Feet Apart,” it’s about a relationship that grows amidst hardship, and it’s a tearjerker, for sure.
6. To the Bone
Now, here’s another one with a young woman dealing with an illness. It’s called “To the Bone.” The girl, Ellen, has an eating disorder, and she’s tryin’ to find her way out of it. Along the way, she meets a group of folks who’re all goin’ through their own struggles. There’s a bit of a love story in there, but it’s not the same kinda love you’d see in “Five Feet Apart”—it’s more about learning to love yourself, even when you feel like you’re broken. If you want somethin’ that’s a little different but still deep and emotional, this one might do the trick.
So, there ya go, if you loved “Five Feet Apart,” there’s plenty more out there that’ll get ya right in the feels. Whether it’s a love story like “The Fault in Our Stars” or somethin’ like “Me Before You,” where love ain’t always the answer, these movies will have ya thinkin’ long after the credits roll. And if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ that’ll make ya cry and make ya smile all at once, well, I reckon you won’t be disappointed by any of these!
