What are some good movies/ documentaries I can watch? Thanks

I heard 28 Days with Sandra Bullock is good. Funny coincidence, I just DVRed it this afternoon when it was on tv and I plan to watch it tomorrow.

When a Man Loves a Woman is a good one.

When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) - IMDb

Barfly, Leaving Las Vegas, Lost Weekend, The Verdict are all good ones, too.

I second the lost weekend, I always like the old black and whites.

Clean and Sober, Michael Keaton
You Kill Me, Ben Kingsley, Tea Leoni, Luke Wilson
Shattered Spirits, Martin Sheen

Netflix streaming has some good movies. Enter alcoholism, or addiction, in search bar if you have Netflix.

I recently watched Dennis Weaver in Cocaine, One Man's Seduction, through the Netflix streaming, and it was very powerful.

When I start thinking of returning to drinking just the memory of the film "Leaving Las Vegas" makes me cringe...why oh WHY would I ever want to repeat that

How about "The Man With the Golden Arm" or "I'll Cry Tomorrow". There's also a fine movie about Billie Holiday.
