Ok, so im doing a project which will include a short stab at alcohol use in movies - action movies in particular.
problem is i cant find enough examples since i dont tend to go to the movies much. Only one i can recall off the top of my head is the last samurai who drank a lot of whiskey and sake. anyone else recall popular recent action movies featuring an alcoholic beverage? |

Last Samauri did that quite well, making Aubrey a raging alcoholic and having him scream for sake while he was going through the withdrawls.
Another one comes to mind-a new one, The Punisher. Castle is the main chars name I think...anyway, after his family dies, he hits hard on the Wild Turkey whiskey. It's a constant theme in that movie.

Barfly, starring Mickey Rourke. Movie about alcohol from the first minute until the last.
Edit: and more recently.... how about captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean ? [ 05-17-2004, 05:52 AM: Message edited by: johnny ]

I dunno if Pirates would qualify, the only role the rum plays in the movie is to get burned [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Leaving Las Vegas, with Nicholas Cage? The whole movie is about a guy going to Vegas to drink himself to death.

Salton Sea... although it's more of a drug movie.

Mmmmmmm, warm sake.
It's my favourite drink [img]smile.gif[/img] There are plenty of films about alcoholism which you may want to investigate. [ 05-17-2004, 10:40 AM: Message edited by: Epona ]
