I went to Google and found many movies.

Do you have a book store? They probably have an index of books from which a movie was made. Some book stores handle video's also.

Also library prob can look up all Movies about alcohol. Might be able to get video's.

Also Amazon on web.

"Leaving Las Vegas"

Nicolas Cage does an excellent portrayal of a person going into the pits of H*ll (alcoholism).

There are many more, just can't think of them at this time of night, lol.

Love nd (((((to all))))),

My favorites...

'My Name Is Bill W.' James Woods and James Gardner.
It was a Hallmark feature.

'Leaving Los Vegas' Nick Cage

'Barfly' Mickey O'Rouke and Fay Dunaway.

'Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolfe?' Richard Burtom Elizabeth Taylor. Orginally a play.

'Lomg Days Journey Into Night' Jason Robards did one version. It's a Eugene O'Neill play orginally.

"Drugstore Cowboy" by Gus Van Sant with Matt Dillon and Kelly (???).
It's not about alcoholics but drug addicts.

I like "Leaving Las Vegas." One of my favorite films is "My Name is Joe." Peter Mullan is just fantastic as a recovery A trying to stay that way.
