President's Analyst

Reading the Quadrophenia thread reminded me of the movie, President's Analyst.

Anyone seen this? Shrink gets hired to be the President's shrink and ends up going crazy himself. Late 60's flick that's just really strange and crazy. First time I saw it was at like 4am with a head full of acid. Then several months later I was watching Bravo (back when it was still commercial free) and I hear the voice come on and say, "up next, the president's analyst" Grabbed a video an taped the thing. Great satire. Reccomended for all.

YESYESYESYESYESYES

This film is fucking genius of the highest order. Have it taped ad-free off Bravo. And so few people have seen it... the redub of "FBR" and "CEA" is a good laugh.

It's great. Really. Everyone, hunt it down.

In a nutshell: James Coburn is a psychiatrist. He gets headhunted to be the President's shrink... on call 24/7. He quickly realises that everyone in the country can talk to someone - their shrink. Even the President. Only he can't tell anyone anything. So he runs off. And the FBR and CEA (FBR being a bunch of midgets in suits, CEA being relatively pleasant), as well as every foreign intelligence agency chase him. The field sequence is great, and the ending is marvellous... TPC?

Oh, and the suburban family are also wonderful: "What have I told you? The car gun stays in the car; the house gun is for the house".

Only tSuibhne will get those. But yeah. Go and see it.
