"Crazy People" is a 1990 movie starring Dudley Moore as a burnt out advertising executive whose mental breakdown lands him in a psychiatric hospital. With time on his hand, the man quickly recovers his mental health and is inspired to make truthful advertisements, such as in an ad for Volvo, which proclaims "Buy Volvos. They're boxy but they're good." In the sanitarium he falls in love with Kathy (Daryl Hannah), a fellow patient, and transforms the place into a branch of the advertising industry, where other mental patients come up with wild, often funny advertising slogans, like "Forget Paris. Come to Greece. We're nicer," for a Greek travel agency and "Come... in the Bahamas" for the island nation's national tourism board. The movie closes with George (David Paymer), a patient who speaks only in variations of "Hello" (e.g., "Hello, how the flip are you?"), singing the "Hello" parts of "Hello, Hello, Hello! What a wonderful word, Hello."

The movie was released on VHS and Laserdisc (now out of print) in late 1990, and on widescreen DVD in 2004. The soundtrack featured the song "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)" by Mötley Crüe.
