The 50 Best Movies About Addiction According to 24/7 Tempo
"A tough, but important topic to address is substance abuse and addiction. And a lot of movies handle this topic differently. In some films, it's nothing more than a side plot or a characteristic, while in others the dark and sad truth is revealed. Addiction is tricky because it's such a general term. You can be addicted to illicit drugs, alcohol, shopping, gambling, and other behaviors. To determine the best movies about addiction, 24/7 Tempo developed an index of movies using average ratings on IMDb, and a combination of audience scores and Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes, an online movie and TV review aggregator, as of March 2024, weighting all ratings equally. We considered only movies with at least 2,500 audience votes on either IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes. Documentaries were not considered." - 247tempo.com
