Bellevue Inside Out

Let Pirate Programming be your TV Guide. Turn off that 1000th rerun of Seinfeld and tune into a documentary that could be considered a real life counterpart to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Full of colorful characters, this documentary details the patients of the psych ward in the infamous Bellevue hospital in New York. Meet a man who thinks he is God, an average husband who snaps and masturbates trance-like for 6 hours and Connie aka Mrs. Abba creator of Laptop Computer Systems whose "computer system will most likely blow the fucking place sky high". There is sections of absolute brilliance in this thing. For example, when pretty face bi-polar girl, Angela talks about her father dying in front of her while the Shaft theme song plays in the background is a timeless moment. The following scene with her dancing while calling out to her father almost made my jaded ass cry. On the whole, this doc has heart and quotable dialog in abundance. Seriously watch this!
