#8 - Analyze This/ Analyze That
Analyze This-
Countless wiseguy films are spoofed in this Golden Globe-nominated comedy from director Harold Ramis that centers on the neuroses and angst of a powerful Mafia racketeer who suffers from panic attacks. When Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) needs help dealing with his role in the "family," unlucky shrink Dr. Ben Sobel (Billy Crystal) is given just days to resolve Vitti's emotional crisis and turn him into a happy, well-adjusted gangster.
Analyze That-
Mafioso Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) is released into the custody of his overworked psychiatrist Ben Sobel (Billy Crystal), much to the dismay of the doctor's wife (Lisa Kudrow). Despite Ben's attempts to help Paul get a legitimate job, sort out his life and stick to the straight and narrow, Paul's old mob buddies are after him. In a bind, Ben must try some unconventional techniques to sort things out in director Harold Ramis's comedic sequel.
Relation to PSY-201: Billy Crystal is a psychiatrist that tries to help De Niro with his panic attacks. (Chapter 10, Health, Stress, and Coping)
