Question by Kate: Help Please! Any movies that realistically display addictions?
I need movies for a project on addictions – movies that portray various addictions realistically rather than glamorizing them are somewhat hard to come by. I was wondering if anyone could think of/has seen any movies that would work? I have the following ones:

For drug addictions – Trainspotting, Drugstore Cowboy, Requiem for A Dream, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

For alcoholism – When A Man Loves A Woman, Leaving Las Vegas (possible – I haven’t seen this one)

I don’t have anything for gambling and the only movie I know about sexual addiction that would work is Looking for Mr. Goodbar, but I can’t find it anywhere. Please, please help!!!! Thank you!!!!
