doing welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 movie doctors for this list we’re
focusing on doctors and feature films
who make an indelible impression and
practice some form of Medicine however
no mad scientists need apply because
they’ve got their own list of the top 10
mad scientists number 10 Doc Holliday
tombstone must be a page of the hand
everybody wants to avoid the dentist
whatever do you mean that’s something
that no-good varmints in the OK Corral
should have thought about Val Kilmer’s
Doc Holliday in Tombstone he is more a
gunslinger than a doctor but he’s a
keeper and as a dentist we have to
assume he has a medical degree right
well thank you darlin a little foppish
and prone to having conversations in
latin he still proves he’s got cojones
it’s a startling unforgettable
interpretation of this real-life
historical character it’s not bald about
the large
number nine Nicholas Garrigan the Last
King of Scotland do you want to be of
service to your granddad dr. Garrigan
yes I do
then what better way than to look after
the hand of its president and let me
tell you it will not be a difficult job
Nicholas Garrigan starts this film as a
young idealistic doctor chosen to become
the personal physician for Idi Amin he
refuses to see the dictators brutality
for too long you should have told me not
to throw the agents out in the first
place I did but you did not persuade me
Nicholas
you did not persuade me but once he
acknowledges a means in humanity
Garrigan becomes resolute in his efforts
to escape and to let the world know of
his crimes Garrigan’s blend of human
kindness and professional opportunism
make him a memorably complex character
I’m his doctor it’s not my job to judge
the man I’m his doctor their defence
have a Fetty gulf Garrigan number 8
dr. Herbert her Bach the hospital now
what in hell am I going to tell this boy
shavers parents that a substitute nurse
assassinated him because she couldn’t
tell the doctors from the patients on
the floor my god the incumbent here is
absolutely radiant paddy Chayefsky is
black look at an inner-city hospital in
a perpetual state of chaos is anchored
by George C Scott’s towering performance
as dr. Herbert Bock the chief of
Medicine for the hospital box marriage
is dying and his children are estranged
I’m after a dozen times she left me a
dozen times we stayed together through a
process of attrition obviously
sadomasochistic dependency but nothing
will keep him from fighting for his
medical center half the time you are
perfectly intelligent young woman and
all of a sudden you turn in some kind a
goddamn catalyst of leaves and dreams
and witchcraft and bear power Bach may
be a pain in the ass at times but his
heart is always in the right place I’m
not going
I suppose coming apart I can’t walk out
home too much coming apart
someone has to be responsible by number
seven dr. Luther Brooks no way out
would you like one putting his dirty
black hands on you Sidney Poitier made
his feature film debut as dr. Luther
Brooks in no way out and immediately
caused a sensation well how does it feel
the reaction hasn’t set in yet like a
woman who’s just that a baby I wouldn’t
believe it till I see Brooks is a
perfect party character an idealistic
yet practical young intern fighting
against racism with dignity and honor
trying to help your brother why don’t
you just shut up you watch yourself
black boy i watch all you talk just shut
up at the end Brooks even saves the life
of a man who has tried to kill him and
destroy his career he’s just that
honorable
you’re gonna live number six
dr. hunter patch Adams patch Adams my
name is dr. Phil I’ll be your surgeon
Robin Williams turn as real-life dr.
Leonard Lowe in awakenings was a fine
job of acting but he was really born to
play the title role in patch Adams
a former patient from a mental
institution
Adams becomes a doctor to use his unique
sense of humor to help the ill in the
American Journal of Medicine found that
laughter increases secretion of
catecholamines and endorphins which in
turn increases oxidation of the blood
relaxes the arteries speeds up the heart
decreases blood pressure which has a
positive effect on all cardiovascular
and respiratory ailments as well as
overall increasing the immune system
response smart clownin and Adams is the
kind of doctor who believes the patient
dr. bond is all about friendship and
connection and patients adore him almost
as much as movie viewers do Dean welcome
in the future I think matters like this
could best be solved if you yourself
would practice a little excessive
happiness number 5 dr. Malcolm Crowe The
Sixth Sense shape many of our favorite
film doctors sacrifice their personal
lives to help their patients just give
me a chance but Malcolm Crowe of The
Sixth Sense takes it to an extreme
Malcolm is so wrapped up in helping his
latest patient a little kid who thinks
he can talk to the dead that he can’t
engage his wife in a real dialogue I
know that I’ve been a little distant I
know that it makes you mad I just feel
like I’m being given a second chance and
I don’t want to slip away Anna
happy anniversary turns out there’s a
reason for this one which makes the
audience have an even greater fondness
for the good doc need to help someone
think I did number four
dr. Yuri Zhivago Doctor Zhivago
yes Doctor Zhivago he came down you know
I must go Yuri Zhivago is both a Russian
physician and a poet and is played by
Omar Sharif in dr. Zhivago he is the
embodiment of every woman’s ultimate
romantic fantasy dr. G my god he’s
betrothed did manage to he also knows as
medicine and has great bedside manner as
a doctor we mean amazingly male viewers
don’t feel jealous of Yuri presumably
because they think he’s just exactly the
kind of doctor they’d be like not locked
by whom
why not liked number three Frederick
Treves the Elephant Man John Merrick the
physically misshapen title character of
the Elephant Man
lived a life as a freak before being
rescued by dr. Frederick Treves Oh have
you all always been the way Lana Treves
portrayed by Anthony Hopkins is a
multi-layered character of course I
appreciate your concern I appreciate
everything that you’ve done for mr.
Merrick thank you but I am the physician
in charge and I must do what I think is
best for him
clinical and reserved he develops a real
affection for Merrick and feels shame
and guilt at the realization that he is
using and exploiting the man for his own
ends not a touchy-feely sort trees is
nevertheless a man of commendable honor
and insight I can’t tell you how sorry I
am for what happened see I had no idea
yeah he knows you you mustn’t blame
yourself mr. trees junk what a hand
I am happy over all of the day number
two dr. Jack McKee the doctor there’s
nothing natural of a serger here cutting
open someone’s body of that natural one
day you’ll have your hands around
someone’s heart and it’s beating and
you’ll think oh I shouldn’t be here at
the beginning of the dr. Jack McKee is a
jerk plain and simple tell your husband
you look like a Playboy centerfold you
have the staple marks to prove it an
enormous ly successful surgeon he is
self-centered and ultimately uncaring
towards his family and his patients Oh
special live appearance but after he
himself experiences life as a patient he
undergoes a transformation and emerges
as the over doctor of our dreams kind
compassionate fiercely devoted and
genuinely involved and not too shabby
with a scalpel either beautiful heart

a few honorable mentions henceforth you

number one Captain Benjamin Franklin
Hawkeye Pierce mash there’s you got

audience Oh driving member and marriage

myself
Ribble uninhibited and cynical on the
outside Pierce on the inside was as
caring and skillful of doctor as any
person could wish and if you will have
observed anything you will have observed
that major Frank Burns is an idiot he
has put this week that he said in his
head that he’s a lousy surgeon he’s
laid-back fun-loving persona masked the
anxiety and terror he felt working in an
Army Hospital and made the audience take
him to their hearts in a big big way do
