If the closest thing you have to a relationship right now is a Netflix subscription and you can't bear to see one more rom-com, we totally get you. When it comes to romantic films, the market is well and truly saturated.
But what to watch, you ask, when it feels like every film is a love story? Well, you see, that's where we come in.

Don’t worry, we’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up the best films that are suitable to watch alone when you just can't bear another romantic montage scene. From nostalgic classics to dystopian thrillers, here's your list of films that have no kissing, sex or relationships.
Movies to watch with no kissing, sex or relationships
