Nice list of films but where’s a man loves a woman with Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia. Its so awesome and underrated especially from the alcoholism POV.

How about one that covers drug use, in the sense that it is primary to the story. Something like Basketball Diaries. Nice post though. Something different.

Good list, but it could definitely use Tree’s Lounge, The Lost Weekend, and The Fire Within. I think it’s neat/funny that two of the first three are about Charles Bukowski.

I’m definitely a fan of Trees Lounge. A real underrated gem and testament to the talents of Steve Buscemi.

“Trees Lounge” deserves a top spot on this list because it is one of the best — if not the best — movie about alcoholism that I’ve ever seen. It’s not flashy or showy or even particularly eventful, but it’s wonderfully honest and features a great performance by actor/director Steve Buscemi.
