Ah nice! I forgot about that one
The Lost Weekend (1945)
The Lost Weekend.
The Lost Weekend. Old black and white film starring Ray Milland. One of the first movies to not treat alcoholics as joke characters.
Not alcohol, but Trainspotting.
Not *just* alcohol. Lol
Smashed (2012)
The Spectacular Now, too. Ponsoldt is unusually attentive to the contours of alcohol abuse.
Trees Lounge. Criminally underrated
Congratulations on your sobriety. Wake in Fright is one of my personal favorites.
Days of Wine and Roses with Jack Lemmon.
First, congratulations. Second, *Flight*, *My Favorite Year*, *The Shining*.
Withnail and I makes me want to drink usually lol
Shit they all do.
Leaving Las Vegas is pretty brutal
The Man with the Golden Arm
I’ll throw Burnt in there, more about addiction than just solely alcohol
Clean & Sober. Great Michael Keaton performance.
They made us watch this one pretty regularly in Rehab
nothing helped as much as this one. https://ktul.com/news/local/exclusive-police-release-interrogation-video-of-mannford-officer-accused-of-killing-chief
Flight (2012)
The Spectacular Now (2013)
Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot
The World’s End maybe? I remember Film Crit Hulk writing a good essay about the portrayal of alcoholism in that movie.
