30 - How I Lost The Love Of My Life and 10 Heartbreaking Movies

African Couch Potato: The Mash-up

Gino opens up about his biggest heartbreak and how he has since turned to soppy love movies when he faces tough times.
Our story takes us back to 17 years ago with a boy who was cool in his school marimba band. At the same time there was a girl who was hot in her school marimba band. Like Romeo and Juliet they came together, although not in Verona, Italy, but at the National Marimba Competition held annually in Boksburg. A classic love story in the making. . .
Gino's Hot Heartbreakers:

1. The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) - A struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional career
2. The Notebook (2004) - An elderly man reads to a woman with dementia the story of two young lovers whose romance is threatened by the difference in their respective social classes.
3. P.S. I Love You (2007) - A young widow discovers that her late husband has left her 10 messages intended to help ease her pain and start a new life.
4. Moulin Rouge - A poor Bohemian poet in 1890s Paris falls for a beautiful courtesan and nightclub star coveted by a jealous duke.
5. The Great Gatsby - A writer and wall street trader, Nick Carraway, finds himself drawn to the past and lifestyle of his mysterious millionaire neighbor, Jay Gatsby, amid the riotous parties of the Jazz Age.

6. Catch A Fire - A drama about terrorism in Apartheid-era South Africa, revolving around a policeman and a young man who carries out solo attacks against the regime.
7. The Truman Show - An insurance salesman discovers his whole life is actually a reality TV show.
8. Pearl Harbour - A tale of war and romance mixed in with history. The story follows two lifelong friends and a beautiful nurse who are caught up in the horror of an infamous Sunday morning in 1941.
9. Remember The Titans - The true story of a newly appointed African-American coach and his high school team on their first season as a racially integrated unit.
10. Precious - In New York City's Harlem circa 1987, an overweight, abused, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that she can re-route her life in a better direction.
We hope these 10 titles will help you through those times when you need more than just a tissue.
