Hey everyone!

Dropping in here because I’ve been trying to collect good movies that touch on Crohn’s
disease or at least explore chronic illness in a real, relatable way. I like
watching films on this topic — helps me feel less alone, you know? But I’ve
bumped into a lot of questionable lists online, and I’d rather not waste time
on movies that barely mention the condition or completely miss the point. Here are afew films I’ve already watched that felt somewhat relevant (not all are
strictly about Crohn’s, but they deal with chronic illness, hospital life, or
invisible conditions):

The Road Within

100 Meters

The Faultin Our Stars

My LeftFoot

Cake

Brain on Fire

And here are a couple of lists I found, but I’m not sure which titles are actually worth watching:

So, what doyou recommend? Have youseen any movies that really capture the emotional, physical, or everyday side
of living with Crohn’s or chronic illness? Drop yoursuggestions in the comments — would love to build a solid list together!

I wanted to invite you to take part in a new discussion started by one of our members 🎬💬

They’re looking for good movie recommendations that reflect living with Crohn’s disease or chronic illness in a realistic, relatable way — films that go beyond clichés and really capture the emotional or everyday experience.

If you’ve seen a movie that helped you feel understood, less alone, or simply resonated with your journey, your input could really help 💙

Even if it’s not strictly about Crohn’s, but about invisible illness, hospital life, or long-term conditions, feel free to share!

👉 What films would you recommend, and why?

Looking forward to reading your suggestions and building a great list together ✨
