Polysubstance Abuse: Fear and Loathing In Los Vegas


Storyline: The big-screen version of Hunter S. Thompson's seminal psychedelic classic about his road trip across Western America as he and his large Samoan lawyer searched desperately for the "American dream"... they were helped in large part by the huge amount of drugs and alcohol kept in their convertible, The Red Shark. (IMDb)

Other notable movies: The Basketball Diaries, Drugstore Cowboy, Kids, House of Sand and Fog

Alcoholism: Barfly


Storyline: Henry Chinaski never cared for the American dream, the thought of needing to become 'something' and fit into the system disgusts him. He believes that life is free and yours to live like you see fit, and if that in some cases involves copious amounts of whiskey then so be it. (IMDb)

Other notable movies: Bad Santa, Arthur, Leaving Los Vegas
