Factotum is very good, better then Barfly. Under the Volcano is nice. Leaving Las Vegas is a great movie. Lost weekend is to old and in all cases the books are much better. Factotum is different from the book in a way I like, also very beautiful music.

Great list, Im glad that, unlike other “drinking movies” lists, The Hangover wasnt actually a part of it, since there wasnt hardly any drinkin involved (albeit a funny film) but IMO Strange Brew should have been #1 or maybe #2 in replacment of Revenge of nerds but thats just my 2 cents XD

Must agree w/ Drunken Master and Dazed and Confused…”well alright, alright, alright…” makes u wanna reach for a beer and a spliff!
The rules aside, anything can be made into a drinking movie with the proper attitude… once tried it with XXX with the single rule “anytime Vin Diesel says something douchely” … we were drunk about 10-15 minutes into the movie

O yeah and I heard about a movie called Grazy Love, based on a novel from Bukowski. It’s a movie from Belgium and it was released in ‘87. I think it’s not really about drinking like Factotum and Barfly, so you’ve gotta open one by yourself:D
(alternate titles: L’Amour Est un Chien de l’Enfer, Love Is a Dog from Hell)

A lot of western movies have some good drinking parts too
But Barfly is one of the the best and I also really like Trees Lounge with Steve Buscemi as Tommy, an all-time drunk. Factotum is allright.
Easy Rider is a great drinking/smoking movie with Jack Nicholson’s drinkin’ his good ol’ D.H. Lawrence. And there’s a movie from Ireland called ‘Garage’. It’s about a guy from a small town who goes to bars all the time and has a daily job and he is satisfied with it. But then something changed…

Must agree with John who mentioned Legend of Drunken Master. Way more fun than Old School.

The Big Lebowski is as much or more a stoner movie than a beer classic.

Swingers, anyone?

Our favorite drinking game in college was Ferris. You watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and take a drink every time anyone in the movie says “Ferris.” Try it. You won’t make it through the whole film.

What about Dazed and Confused? The whole second half is about the beer bust at the Moon Tower. Also, Beer League could be added to the list.

I can totally understand wanting to include a Coen brothers movie on any list, but it seems to me that The Big Lebowski is also improper for this list, what with the drinking game surrounding Miller’s Crossing and all. Besides, White Russians is but one facet to The Dude. Also, I thought Sideways was supposed to be a serious drama? The other six films are raucous comedies. Oh well, shows you what I know.

BTW, this is an excellent list, mixes the old with the new. And I have been laughing to myself all day thinking of Raising Arizona.

“My name is H.I.McDonough” – Nicholas Cage’s perpetual hang-dog look works VERY well in this movie.

Ok, then.

Beer (1985) – about Norbecker Beer (the awesome Kenneth Mars as Mr. Norbecker), Loretta Swit as the seductive beer executive trying to launch a fraudulent advertising campaign for Norbecker. David Allan Grier makes any movie.

Smokey and the Bandit was about transporting beer.

Revenge of the Nerds, alcohol quite prominent.

Auntie Mame or any of the Thin Man’s, classic martini consumption takes place, could also rate!

What about “barfly”, “Who’s Afraid of Viginia Wolf?” or “Husbands”? Before you time?

I don't get it. Is this kid making fun of me for liking Old School? Or does he actually thinking one of the mulit-sequels to American Pie deserves to be on this list? Head hurts. Head really hurts.

M*A*S*H is a great drinking movie, doctors drinking home made martini’s all day then operating on wounded soldiers. Either they’re great surgeons or their martini is shit! Funny movie though.

Leaving Las Vegas is one of my favorite movies yet it does get extreemly depressing at the end, so I understand why it is left out. However it is the greatest, f**k it all, I’m going to get drunk no matter the consequences movie of all time and I love it.

I think that as far as a true representation of drinking without equal, I have to submit “A Love Song for Bobby Long”. Excellent in many ways but gets the drinking right. The recollections of Travolta in the scene by the river, was a high point. I think this was a great movie all around.

Dazed and confused should be on this list. Replace big lebowski with it.

Withnail and I is a major omission. Id like to say a James Bond film as well but there just isnt enough drinking in them (though he has made drinking martini’s cool)
