Read this on Sunday:Why Weepy Films are Good for You. Like, I've known that forever, and even added Cinematherapy to my wishlist weeks ago. Not that anyone - apart from me - has every bought anything from it. Reel Therapy is not available at amazon.co.uk.
The article is a combination of what is probably a press release from Bernie Wooder (aka themovietherapist.com), and the seemingly obvious premise that "films provide a shortcut to getting in touch with inner feelings". Like, duh. Isn't that what makes a good movie? Identification with one of the key themes/personal struggles?
Anyway, they list the Top Ten Movies That Change Your Life here. Not sure I agree completely (5/10 isn't bad)... that's one of the joys of eclectic therapy, though... I would include:
1 Casablanca
2 The Wizard of Oz
3 When Harry Met Sally
4 Groundhog Day
5 Like Water for Chocolate
6 Sliding Doors (badly done, but good self-esteem-style moral)
7 The Prince of Tides
mmmm... still thinking. Any suggestions?
