The Movies of Abstinence.

So you have the original (excellent) idea from willpower_ranger http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?12342-The-Soundtrack-to-Abstinence&p=70228

My first copy:

And now... my second copy.


SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hB3S9bIaco
About: Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.
Why: To find love, hope and freedom, even in the worst cases, when it seems to be impossible.



IKIRU (TO LIVE)

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044741/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6wAlkouhEU
About: A bureaucrat tries to find a meaning in his life after he discovers he has terminal cancer.
Why: To find a meaning in life, to continue living after all.

 

I haven't seen any of those movies. I'll definitely take a look. (October Sky was already in my "Movies to See" list. Now I have another other reason to watch it.)

THE TRUMAN SHOW

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120382/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loTIzXAS7v4
About: An insurance salesman/adjuster discovers his entire life is actually a T.V. show.
Why: Because it's difficult to face reality and to leave your past life behind, but change's always possible.

 

TENDER MERCIES

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086423/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkRvzcektB0
About: A broken-down, middle-aged country singer gets a new wife, reaches out to his long-lost daughter, and tries to put his troubled life back together
Why: Because we can always start again and because we can remain in our new found path, no matter what happens (I don't want to spoil the movie.)

CLEAN AND SOBER

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094884/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFiZf0q6OZg
About: A hustling drug addict checks himself into rehab to escape trouble with the law, and realizes that it's exactly what he needs.
Why: Because it's up to us to choose if we want to get out or if we want to continue being "in".


LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR

WARNING: The movie contains many triggers and it's quite harsh. It's the opposite to the previous movie, as "Clean and Sober" is a journey from "IN" to "OUT", whereas "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" is a journey from "OUT" to "IN".

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076327/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GYt6fLLYzk
About: A dedicated schoolteacher spends her nights cruising bars, looking for abusive men with whom she can engage in progressively violent sexual encounters.
Why: To all of those who don't consider that a sexual addiction is a serious addiction.

 

I thought that it was a good idea to resurrect an old thread of mine. Feel free to contribute, if you want to.

BLACK MIRROR

WARNING: This TV-series contains triggers, so it's best to watch if you're advanced in your recovery, and you're no longer triggered by sexual references or brief pictures.
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Trailer:
About: A television anthology series that shows the dark side of life and technology.
Why: Because it shows the negative impact that technology is having/could have in our lives, focused on how we relate with each other, what it means to have privacy and what are our core values as a society. It's SciFi and it's quite dark and extremely well written.
