A couple of days ago I came across this movie called "It's kind of a funny story" (2010).I won't spoil too much for you but it's about a teenage boy with suicidal thoughts that checks himself into a phychiatric ward. Suffice to say that it is a story about human nature, relationships and coping with life.
So this morning I woke up thinking of these other two "mental" movies: obviously, the classic "One flew over the cucko's nest" (1975) with Jack Nicholson's brilliant performance and the maybe lesser known but, in my humble opinion, with an equally brilliant performance from Kevin Spacey, "K-PAX" (2001).
Do you you know any other movies set in mental institutions?
Which one is your favourite & why?
"Girl, Interrupted" is brilliant. Check it out. Angelina Jolie and Wynona Ryder´s best performances ever.
ReplyDeleteI watched it recently fully, I think I might have seen bits & pieces before. Indeed, brilliant performances. And it does make you wonder if there is a little bit of "crazy" in all of us... thank you for the recommendation!
