Title: Compulsive Liars
Post by: chainsmoking insomniac on July 14, 2003, 11:33:51 PM
I'm desperately seeking any movies dealing with/relating to compulsive liars.  If anyone knows any movies with characters who suffer from this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  Thanks. :)

I appreicate that Mog, but someone already made a film out of that.  It's called Boogie Nights.  

I guess I'm just crazy or stupid, but I can't believe no one's ever made a movie about a compulsive liar (besides that stupid Jim Carrey flick).   It seems to me that it could be compelling, given the right treatment.  Oh well.

Well, it' just not what I had in mind.  Thank you though.  Something more along the lines of a "normal" person, less Scorsese, more Egan.  I know, crazy or stupid.  Whatever.

I know Mogwai.  And it's really compelling shit, don't get me wrong.  But he lied out of necessity.  I'm talking about deceit as a hubris, as something that someone does and it defies all logic and doesn't really serve him at all, but gets him in a shitload of trouble.

How about any movie with adultery in it? Those movies are bound to have compulsive liars in them.


How about The Player, Wallstreet, and Other People's Money? Hollywood looks at pretty much all business people as compulsive liars. Check these movies out for compulsive liars that make big bucks in the process.
