In reply to Re: Donnie Darko: almost as good as K-PAX!, posted by utopizen on January 4, 2003, at 22:27:25
1. I really enjoyed K-PAX -I agree this was good (9/10)
2. I've never heard of Donnie Darko but I will keep my eye out for this one
3. Of course the original psych hospital movie was "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - haven't seen this one in a while. (9/10)
4. I just saw "Colour of Night" with Bruce Willis - lots of gratuitous sex scenes but the therapy parts were complete crap making us all look bad as Dinah stated in her post. Worst movie I've ever seen in my opinion. (2/10)
5. I recently saw "Girl Interrupted" - Now that I thought was an excellent movie. Angelina Jolie plays an excellent sociopath (didn't she get an Oscar for this role?) and Winona Ryder does well as someone diagnosed by the "experts" with "borderline personality disorder" though to me she was just plain old depressed (But then again I'm not a psychiatrist so what would I know?) (9.5/10)
6. That movie with Barbara Streisand as the therapist and Nick Nolte was not bad (I've forgotten the name of this movie) (7.5/10)
7. "Don't say a Word" - with Michael Douglas as the psych. I've reserved my judgement on this one. Didn't really know what to make of it.
7. Can't forget "Analyze This" - humour is always the best approach to this topic. All other approaches hit way to close to home and can leave me feeling a bit numb.(10/10).
Can anyone think of any others movies like the above and give them a rating out of 10. I wonder how many of the actors in these films have ever been on the AD med merry-go-round or had a real life therapy session?Your resident PSB movie critic
