(500) Days Of Summer (2009)

The Movie Hangover: After taking some time off work to deal with his break-up healthily (read: buy copious amounts of Jack Daniels and yell at happy couples in the street), Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) returns to his job with a four day headache and a very bad attitude.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: It seems to have taken the edge off his creative spark...

"Roses are red, violets are blue... Fuck you, whore".

This Is The End (2013)

The Movie Hangover: A gaggle of celebs find themselves facing an apocalpytic hangover after a massive house party.

Seth Rogen, James Franco and friends play fictionalised versions of themselves (at least, we hope they're fictional - looking at you here, Danny McBride) in this Doomsday comedy.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: It turns out that pampered celebrities are not the people you want to have around during the world's end - the gang can barely last an hour without cracking under the pressure.

Nevertheless, Jonah Hill takes the award for worst hangover ever thanks to the demon that punishes his bad behaviour in a very unpleasant way.

The Change-Up (2011)

The Movie Hangover: Old friends Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) meet up, get nicely blotto and pee in a fountain.

Sounds like it should be a simple case of headaches and nausea the next day, but things take a mystical turn.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: The whole body-switching thing isn't great.

Dave and Mitch discover that the grass definitely isn't always greener after their boozy night leaves them missing their old lives.

American Pie 2 (2001)

The Movie Hangover: The old gang gets back together for a summer of sun, sea and awkward sex in Grand Harbor, culminating in the infamous 'Best Party Ever!'

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Even though they're all suffering, it's easily Stifler (Seann William Scott) who has the worst morning after thanks to the arrival of Mommy Dearest (Jennifer Coolidge), who's keen to rekindle her night of passion with Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas).

The Wedding Singer (1998)

The Movie Hangover: Drinking yourself into unconsciousness the night before work is never a great plan, but it's an especially bad idea when you're recently dumped and your job is performing love songs for newly married couples.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Wedding singer Robbie (Adam Sandler) can't contain his bad mood, and lets loose at the lovebirds. Cue total meltdown:

"I have a microphone, and you don't, SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!"

The Big Lebowski (1998)

The Movie Hangover: The Dude (Jeff Bridges) just wants some peace and quiet (as do most people who are always slightly buzzed) in the Coen Brothers' cult classic.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: We think the only way to be woken up on a hangover is with a bacon sandwich, but for The Dude it's a swift punch to the face. Not nice.

Vanilla Sky (2001)

The Movie Hangover: This one doesn't seem to be half bad. David Aames (Tom Cruise) may wake up on the pavement after a drunken night out with mates ended badly, but at least über-babe Sofia (Penelope Cruz) is there to pick him up.

Plus, it's this hangover that signals the start of things turning around for the despondent David. Or is it...?

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: It turns out that David's happy ending wasn't actually real - an abandoned Dave had to drag his own hungover body up off the floor.

Thanks to that grotty morning after, he heads straight to the cryogenic lab and books himself in for a long-haul freezer session.

One Day (2011)

The Movie Hangover: Mourning the anniversary of his beloved wife's death and not caring what happens to himself anymore, Dex (Jim Sturgess) tries to mask his despair in booze. A lot of booze.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: After coming round at his Dad's house, Dexter settles in for an quiet evening of recovery with Mr. Fletcher Sr.

The two widowers watching TV together is almost unbearably sad.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

The Movie Hangover: Everyone's favourite creepy alien discovers that beer isn't always fun when he over-indulges in the mysterious liquid.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover : Poor old Elliot (Henry Thomas) ends up feeling the effects too, thanks to their newly formed psychic connection.

That's none of the fun and all of the pain. Bad deal.

Breakfast At Tiffany's (1961)

The Movie Hangover: Most days you can find party girl Holly Golightly sleeping off a big night in bed - but still looking devastatingly glamorous, of course.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: If a cat clambered on our backs when we were hungover it would find itself flying out the window quicker than you can say "tequila".

Hangover time is NOT pet time.
