30-Day Breakup Guide: Day 20

Have A No-Chick-Flick Night
The terms “Julia Roberts,” “meet cute,” and “wedding” are hereby banned from your home starting right…now. You might feel tempted to watch “Clueless” or a similar favorite for the billionth time (you have Paul Rudd’s declaration-of-love speech memorized), but you will not. You will rent movies in which the heroine is a strange, or strong, or talented, or an ass-kicker. Because, let’s face it: Kate Hudson is a bit milquetoast, and Hugh Grant is kind of a jerk. Here’s a list to get you started:

• ”What’s Love Got to Do With It?” starring Angela Bassett
• ”Million Dollar Baby” starring Hillary Swank
• ”Jackie Brown” starring Pam Grier
