Definitely Spun....though in retrospect it's more because it was the right thing at the right time. I used to live in a house where we were constantly tripping, and when I discovered that movie I played it like 2 or 3 times a week minimum. I watched it a long time after leaving that environment and was a bit disappointed to realise I didn't love it that much.

Honourable drug movie mention also goes to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Requiem
Drugstore Cowboy
Basketball Diaries
Lock, Stock
Fear & Loathing

somewhat in that order

That's gonna need explaining.... You do realise not everything that's got bright colours in it was inspired by LSD. Some people just naturally like colours.

For example if I go out and say Being John Malkovich if my favourite drug movie I do not expect everyone to know what I'm talking about (my friend has a theory its all a big metaphor for the ketamine experience).

Trainspotting! Half Baked when I just want something I don't have to think about. It's not on the list, but Panic at Needle Park is a good one. A young Pacino is always worth a watch.

 

[Okami]

Personally I didn't like panic in needle park, nothing happened and I was too bored to finish watching it.

 

[poledriver]

'snitch' is ok, not one of the best or anything but worth a watch.

 

[ebola?]

No "A Scanner Darkly"? Was the poll established before the film came out or something?

ebola

 

[poledriver]

^ I think I read that it was, earlier in this thread somewhere.

I didn't really get into that movie that much tho personally.

 

[pskyhighatrist]

Fear and Loathing. But how about Factotum? Like Barfly it is also about Bukowski.

 

[Max Power]

Fear and Loathing. But how about Factotum? Like Barfly it is also about Bukowski.

Yes, but unlike Barfly Bukowski did not write the screenplay to Factotum nor did he make a cameo.

 

[Anthrogirl]

Choices, choices...Lets see, In no particular order:
Fear & loathing
Basketball Diaries
Trainspotting
drugstore cowboy
Requiem for a Dream

It wasn't on the list but I liked "Panic in Needle Park". Really depressing though.

 

[ebola?]

Seriously, "A Scanner Darkly" is kind of the best thing ever, and the casting was hilariously perfect.

ebola

 

[Wigrid]

No Enter the void in the list?

I would say the basketball diaries & also Enter the void, it's impossible to choose between them

 

[fawnkzila]

Trainspotting, Requiem, Getting High, Human Traffic, Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down, Drugstore Cowboy, and a cool indie trippy drug horror film called Pop Skull. I really like Pop Skull because it's the only drug related movie I've ever seen that gives a glimpse at the life of someone who's addicted to dxm and deliriants.

 

[fawnkzila]

Oh I forgot Enter The Void!

 

[pofacedhoe]

even tho i liked blow and voted for it on closer inspection, city of god was what i was watching when i came up for the first time.

hence it was amazing!
