Movies In A Hospital (help needed)

[Mr. DS]

I'm doing some trivia games for my workplace and need to come up with some movies that involve hospitals, doctors and medical staff.  I aiming more towards mainstream flicks.  Any suggestions?

Extreme Measures starring Hugh Grant.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116259/


The guy who wrote it, Michael Palmer, writes excellent medical thrillers.
He's on my Myspace friends list and has written to me a couple of times.  Nice guy.

What is this main-stream you speak of?  

Is THE HOSPITAL with George C. Scott mainstream? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067217/

Would M*A*S*H qualify as a hospital setting?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066026/

BRITANNIA HOSPITAL (with Malcolm McDowell) is probably not very mainstream.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083694/

TALES FROM THE GIMLI HOSPITAL would probably not be considered mainstream.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096218/

These are the four that came immediately to mind.

How about Bubba Hotep?

I aiming more towards mainstream flicks.  Any suggestions?

Well, maybe not Bubba Hotep then. 

Off the top of my head:
M*A*S*H
Andromeda Strain
Coma
Outbreak

I have a little fondness for Outbreak even though I've never seen it. Sony (I think) was showing a clip from it in a computer show I went to in '98, as a demonstration of this new consumer technology called "DVD". Even though the technology was available, it would be another couple of years before the standards process got ironed out and consumers could actually start getting players.

Here's a few:

Dr. Giggles

Dead Ringers

Disorderlies

Young Frankenstein (Well, he is a doctor)

[Jack]

Halloween 2 - quite a bit of this takes place in a hospital

[Psycho Circus]

Carry On Doctor 

[Patient7]

Not mainstream but Candy Stripers was a fun movie, not good for the kiddies mind you.

[Menard]

Hmmm....seems like hospitals go better with b-movies than mainstream.


Mainstream (depending on your definition):

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Young Doctors in Love


B-movies (again, depending on your definition):

Terminal Choice (1985) - David McCallum, Joe Spano
Hospital Massacre (1982) - Barbi Benton


Made for TV:


Three Diagnosis Murder movies which preceded the series:

Diagnosis Murder (1992)
The House on Sycamore Street (1992)
A Twist of the Knife (1993)


Would Brian's Song (1971, 2001) count?



That's it for now.

[sideorderofninjas]

Desperate Measures (1998)
Re-Animator

Every TV-movie adaptation of the Robin Cook novels. 

[JaseSF]

A B-movie I really like:

VISITING HOURS

[Mr. DS]

Cool suggestions.  I should be all set, thanks all!

[Psycho Circus]

I have to also mention "Critical Condition" with Richard Pryor 

[ToyMan]

if the singing detective movie starring robert downey jr. is anything like the original british mini-series, a good deal of it would be set in a hospital.

[JJ80]

Any of the "Doctor" movies from the Fifties and Sixties would definitely count.
The British thriller "Eyewitness" (circa 1956) concerns a criminal gang trying to find and kill a potential witness in a hospital.
