LESS THAN ZERO? –

Feb. 14, 2025 – This list includes many movies about substance and alcohol abuse, and we’ve also included pictures about other addictions, like workaholism, gambling and sex addiction. Some films actively explore the process of recovery; others do not. The primary requisite for a spot on this list is a truthful, respectful depiction of a complex, often misunderstood disease that affects millions of American families.

There’s no right or wrong time to have a conversation about mental health and substance use struggles. Mental Health Month (May 1–May 31) raises awareness of the possibilities of treatment, other services and fellowship-based programs—and to eliminate stigma. And even if it’s not May, remember that mental health is important all 12 months of the year. This list of the best movies about addiction and alcoholism tackles the tough topic with grace.
