Analyze This
Study this carefully
Analyze This is a 1999 comedy film starring Robert De Niro as a mob boss seeking therapy from Billy Crystal's psychiatrist character.
The title plays on the psychoanalytic phrase "analyze this," typically inviting interpretation of a dream or behavior, but delivered with dismissive New York attitude—essentially meaning "figure this out" or "deal with it." The phrase circulates independently as a wry challenge: You don't like my methods? Analyze this.
