Any tips on movies/documentaries?
 

I find it helps to watch films or documentaries about alcoholism. Recently wathced "Flight" and have seen this dreadful documentary "Drugged - high on alcohol" (I think that was the name).
Any other suggestions??

Rain in my Heart is the best one, in my opinion.

It's a 10-part documentary. Here's a link to part 1...

Rain In My Heart (1 of 10) - YouTube

Fear and Loathing
Smashed

Pleasure Unwoven

Smashed is the only movie I can think of off the top of my head on the topic of alcoholism. Oh, and Barfly which is pretty good

Leaving Las Vegas

Oh and Requiem for a Dream.

Alcoholism?

Days of Wine and Roses is a real classic! So is the "Lost Weekend"...also the Bill W documentary.

Thank you Nonsensical...I thought I had seen them all!!!

Requiem isn't about alcohol but it sure scared me.

Chris Herren Story (documentary)

Everything Must Go, Will Ferrell.

'When a Man Loves a Woman', my favorite.

Thanks, just started watching "Smashed"..recognizing a lot of stuff..

I recently watched Drugged, High on Alcohol the other week as well. So disturbing, so sad.

I also saw The Spectacular Now, which had some very sad alcoholic undertones. I think the director of this movie also directed Smashed. I haven't watch that one yet though. 28 Days is a good, positive one to me.

Yes I like that one there is also "Only when I laugh" with Marsha Mason. It's sort of comedy/drama, but she is also an alcoholic. I actually caught it the other night on TV.

"Lost In Woonsocket." Saw it in treatment. A documentary. Sad, happy. Thought provoking.

"The wet room"

I second 28 days. It's a light comedy but has a good story to it.
