Eating Disorder Movies

Hey guys!
Lately I've been hearing of people who are looking for more Anorexia movies. I spent a lot of time in the past year watching most that the internet has to offer (youtube basically has all of them so it wasn't much of a trouble) so I'm going to post my favorites and links to them. A mostly all of the ED movies I have found are older films and are either bad quality, or a really lame script so I'm not going to bother mentioning those. The first three are about teenagers. These are the ones that I have enoyed:


A Secret Between Friends: A story of two friends who play volleyball. They both have some family issues...and they both want to loose weight. Jen is Bulimic, and Lexi becomes Anorexic. It was okay, deffinately worth watching, but not the best. The script is a little cheesy at some parts but it was mostly realistic. My biggest problem with this movie was it didn't portray her loosing any weight. She looked the same through the whole thing even though she was "dying." I think I mostly loved this movie because it was literally the "story of my life." Last year my best friend was Bulimic for a while, and I shared my Anorexia with her. Her Bulimia turned out to be a lame phase and she got over it though (Wannabe). Anyway, great movie:

Sharing the Secret: This was a story about a Bulimic named Beth. I really loved this one, even though I am not Bulimic. It was a great movie and I thought that it was really realistic.

Perfect Body: A teenage gymnast named Andie is on a climb to the top. She wants the Olympics and her parents are willing to help her do what she needs to be the best- but the pressure begins to be too much for her- she develops anorexia. This was a great story. It was a great look into the life of a competitive sport and the real pressures that athletes are under. Also I liked it because it looked like Andie lost weight- you could actually see progress and her becoming very thin- that's hard to do in a movie.

For the love of Nancy: I didn't watch the whole thing because the script was lame and I was bored with the oldness. But it was generally okay:

Thin: This is a documentary fallowing the lives of a group of young adults (and one teenage girl) in ED treatment. It was a recovery movie, but I still liked watching it and listening to them talk.

Skinny Kids: Documentary, about small children developing anorexia. Eh. Good. It also shows a child anorexic rehab center in England that's really awesome (hot tub) I mean really. At least their going someplace awesome, when I get sent to rehab I get shoved into a gross room in the top floor of a four story hospital and force fed by nurses.
