The Cinemaholic's 10 Best Disease Movies of All Time

"Diseases are very much a part and parcel of life as we know it on this planet. Despite that, there is an unwillingness to confront them in their devastation and suffering, unless they are afflicted themselves. There have been movies made about pompe disease, lou gehrig's disease, lyme disease, alzeheimer's and many other horrible diseases. When works with such power choose to confront and analyse a dilemma such as all the diseases in the world, they guide us, the viewers, in knowing about them, and if it is great cinema, they also help us in empathising with those who suffer. This is true especially for those who are agonised by horrendous afflictions, removed from the typical and mainstream which are excruciating in their own way. To inspire such humane insight is beyond mere words. To instill a sense of awareness without any bias is a noble aim. The following is the list of top movies about diseases do just that." - thecinemaholic.com
