Hello everyone,

I know some of these movies were posted a year? or so ago. Here's a new list. I have not seen all of them.

Does anyone have any to add to the list? I've been trying for years to find a movie or a YouTube that shows a real-life rage. YouTube has dozens of people talking ABOUT their rages, but none of them show film of themselves in a rage state. I want to know how I myself appeared to others when I had terrible rages, before I got help and meds.

This is my absolute favorite:
Mind / Game about Chamique Holdsclaw, the best-ever female basketball player till she got bipolar.

A Fine Madness (1966) ·
Frances (1982) ***Trigger****
I would never see Frances -- too brutal and depressing -- it's about Frances Farmer. I saw one scene one time, and that was enough.

·

Mr. Jones (1993) A good movie. Great scene about fading from mania to depression -- feels just right to me -- amazing in a movie.

· Blue Sky (1994)
· All She Ever Wanted (1996)
· On the Edge of Innocence (1997)
· The Horse Whisperer (1998)
· Bulworth (1998)
· Pollock (2001)
· Sylvia (2003)
· Special (2006)
· The Flying Scotsman (2006)
· Michael Clayton (2007)
· Funny Games (2008 film) (2008)
· Observe and Report (2009)
· The Informant! (2009)
· Boy Interrupted (2009)
· The Roommate (2011)

The other is about bipolar and is very good-it made me feel less alone-It's called Four Lives: A Portrait of Manic Depression, 1987 Fanlight Productions. I would recommend these movies to anybody

I thought "Infinitely Polar Bear" (2015), about a father w/ bp, was excellent.

Thanks for another recommendation, Nanay! I'm adding it to my list. If the lists grows substantially from recommendations like yours, I will put the expanded list here later on.

I saw this recently and was extremely impressed. It seemed to fit my experience better than others I've seen and I liked how they clearly showed his love for his kids and his ability to be a good father despite the illness. I was worried going in that it would be triggering but it was a movie that provided a great deal of hope for me and I'm sure it will for others. I love the leading actor, he's always impressive and did a great job with the role.
