I know this is a weird question so probably being v v v U to ask but I’m weirdly fascinated by this type of movie😳

What’s the best one you’ve seen, if any?

Not quite the same I guess but I like Session 9 - what sort of thing are you thinking of?

Girl interrupted.

I also loved ER but it’s a series, not a ‘film’ per se.

Awakenings

One flew over the cuckoos nest -amazing film, stellar performances

KPax - lead actor now disgraced as sexual predator

Awakenings - so sad, based on a real situation. RIP Dr Sachs.

Another vote for Session 9. Very underrated film.

Definitely, without doubt, best all time film, ever: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Shutter Island is amazing... Also The Facility is a great underrated British film, although its not an asylum, its set in a testing compound.

Reflexella · 07/04/2018 16:43

I really liked Stonehearst asylum (as well as others mentioned- girl interrupted & one flew over cuckoos nest)
