The Lost Weekend (1945 - Billy Wilder) and Days of Wine and Roses (1962 - Blake Edwards) are the two big classics. The Country Girl (1954 - George Seaton) and A Star is Born (1937 & 1954) too.

More recently, Leaving Las Vegas (1996) of course, 28 Days (2000), When A Man Loves A Woman (1994), Affliction (1997), Barfly (1987), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), Under the Volcano (19874), Ironweed (1987), Angela's Ashes (1999), Hoosiers (1986), Jacknife (1989), Sling Blade (1996), Drunks (1995), My Favorite Year (1982) and Arthur (1981). All have either the main character or a key subplot dealing with alcoholism.

And there's a good made-for-TV movie called "My Name Is Bill W." (1989 - Daniel Petrie), starring James Woods, Jim Garner and Gary Sinise. It's about the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous.



*and I love Clean & Sober (1989), very underrated, and Michael Keaton and Kathy Baker are fantastic. But those are all addict/alcoholics, and the emphasis is put much more strongly on the drug addiction (cocaine) than on the alcohol. Just so you know.

Bad Santa and Unforgiven, only they're not really about alcoholism, just contain

I know it's been said, but Days of Wine & Roses and When A Man Loves A Woman are the best and most accurate ones I've seen.

Not much I can really add, unless you want to use Rio Bravo and El Dorado, but those are movies where a character just happens to be an alcoholic in them instead of the film revolving around the issue.
