i need help

I need to do a presentation in one of my classes on heart failure, part of the research is watching a popular movie where a character has heart failure. Can anyone out there think of a movie? I have been racking my brain but I can't think of any. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch :)

Hmmmm....that is really stupid. They must be trying to use creative teaching methods, they make you do a lot of concept maps don't they. :)

I would be forced to consider watching some kind of ridiculous horror/zombie film----where someone's heart explodes or is ripped out of their chest and try to work that in. But then again, I am a smart a$*.

Good Luck!

in John Q, the kid had heart failure no?

How about that movie "Untamed Heart" with Christian Slater and Marisa Tomei?

What about induced heart failure...Flatliners".
