Movie Breakups: A Montage (VIDEO)

WATCH: The Big Screen's Best Breakup Scenes

Watch New York magazine's Vulture video to see the big screen's best breakup scenes, from the most anguished ("Brokeback Mountain") to the most iconic ("Gone With The Wind") to the funniest ("Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby").
