the video shows clips and the names of the movies (i believe, i have subtitles on all the time.) These look really good and really dramatic. Didnt know there were alcoholism movies I swear I had looked that up in the past. Let me know what you thought if you saw any of them/what your favorite was. Commentors on the youtube page said The Lost Weekend was really good.
The Lost Weekend is a classic!!
A Star is Born (has been made 4 times I believe, obviously Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga version is pretty awesome…tho not exactly a redemptive movie)
When A Man Loves A Woman
Leaving Las Vegas (incredibly depressing)
Smashed
Bob and the Monster (I love Bob!!)
Flight (the first time I saw this, I had no idea what it was about…I loved it!!!)
Barfly (I haven’t seen this in years)
The Rose (Bette Midler as Janis Joplin, tho not ‘officially’)…love the theme song
Walk the Line (Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash, nuff said)
Gia (I have always been a little obsessed with Gia, there is a great book on her life as well. This movie stars a young Angelina Jolie, well cast!!)
Drunk
Rachel Getting Married (great book)
28 Days
Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot (a great one)
Postcards from the Edge (great book…and great cast!)
Oh my gosh Sassy I just watched Gia from your list 🥲 so good but soooo sad. I had to grab a tissue. It’s from 1998 and I had not seen it before! Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll have to read the book now.
Flight is a great movie!
Yes!!! I like that one too Jay. Intense!
Yes, a sad story and beautifully acted. The book is very good and equally as sad. And blessedly times have changed since the early years of the AIDS crisis.
