| Movie List - G, PG, or PG-13 |
| What About Bob | Favorite |
| Genre: | Comedy | Year: | 1991 | Rating: | PG-13 |
| Actors: | Richard Dreyfuss, Bill Murray, Julie Hagerty |
| Topics: | Treatment, Personality Disorder, Family Dysfunction |
| Cute movie with Richard Dreyfuss as the competent (or burned out?) psychotherapist and Bill |
| Murray as the patient (who seems to have more insight...). Note the difference in perception of |
| Bob between the therapist and his family. Has its flaws, but is a fun film. |
| What Dreams May Come |
| Genre: | Drama | Year: | 1998 | Rating: | PG-13 |
| Actors: | Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Annabella Sciorra |
| Topics: | Depression |
| First the children are killed, then the husband, resulting in significant depression and despair. The |
| story, though, is primarily of the husband's experiencing heaven, continued contact with the "real |
| world," and descent into hell. Visual imagery is remarkable (won Academy Award for Special |
| Effects). |
| What's Eating Gilbert Grape |
| Genre: | Drama/Comedy | Year: | 1993 | Rating: | PG-13 |
| Actors: | Johnny Depp, Leonardo diCaprio, Juliette Lewis |
| Topics: | Family Dysfunction, Childhood Disorder, Depression |
| Slice of life film, with Johnny Depp as the young adult caring for his family - a depressed, morbidly |
| obese mother, a brother with a developmental disorder, and two sisters. Somehow, he manages |
| it all. Good movie. |
