And I liked David Strathairn's character in My Blueberry Nights, it was probably my favorite part in it.

All I can think of.

Wow, it seems films about alcoholics really score big at the Oscars.

The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew

Titles not yet mentioned:

"Arthur" was a light hearted look at an alcoholic.

ANYTHING with W.C.Fields in it, he drinks from the opening credits to the closing credits in all his movies.

"Under the Volcano" shows another story of a guy going down the drain like Ben.

"Bad Santa" had a good portrayal of a bad alcoholic.

Peter O'Toole does a nice job of playing the jovial drunk in "My Favorite Year."

In "The Verdict" Paul Newman is a hopeless drunk.

"Rio Bravo" (it's on cable this month) has Deano as a gunfighter who lost it to booze.

El Dorado, too. "I'm lookin' at a tin star with a drunk pinned to it."

Also, one of my all-time favorite movies: A Love Song for Bobby Long.
