Basketball Diaries (It blows Requiem for a Dream out of the water)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I don't know about it blowing it out of the water, i thought they were equally good.

Basketball Diaries
Requiem For A Dream
Trainspotting
Spun
Fear and Loathing

i've been wanting to see Wonderland.... as well as Party Monster

 

[badboybrian]

i cant just pick one either. of my favs include Gridlock'd with Tim Roth and Tupac Shakur. was very underrated.

 

[ice-9]

I'm surprised no one mentioned Drugstore Cowboy.

 

[ElaStiK Clouds]

spun
groove
fear and loathing
requiem for a dream
basketball diaries
Wonderland

Wonderland was really good.

As for Party Monster, I though Macauley Culkin was pretty unconvincing as a gay, conniving, twisted club kid...

 

[silvia saint]

trainspotting. hey, who didn't rush out and try smack after viewing this?

 

[ElaStiK Clouds]

no ones seen Groove?

 

[onetwothreefour]

i liked groove (and i think there's a thread floating around somewhere), but most others don't.

it *is* a little cheesy, but so's most of the rave scene in general. i still find myself watching it before a rave to get myself in a good mood a lot of the time

 

[panty]

I enjoyed Groove. No four stars or anything, but...

 

[ElaStiK Clouds]

^lol, i liked it....but i wouldn't give it an award.

 

[ChrisC]

Leaving Las Vegas was really good. And I've only met a couple of coke dealers who didn't own a Tony Montana poster...

 

[kubenzi]

^^dammit i thought i was going to be original and say leaving las vegas......great film although it does mainly deal with alcohol.but hey with sting singing jazz so well in the back ground i wouldnt want to sober up either.


i didnt like requiem i just couldnt watch the mother anymore..so i turned it off.
Blow left an imprint thats for sure.

man i really hate not being able to add something new im sure there are some im forgetting....but theres something about watching drug movies with a group of friends in the privacy of your home that that well...makes the chances of forgetting you watched them a little higher...i wont say what but im sure it could be found in the trunk of dr gonzo's rented convertible.

nobodys said half baked

reefer madness was the shit too
grass(the doc)

trainspotting
BLOW

 

[panty]

Anyone see Chemical 51. Big letdown in my opinion.

 

[Startrekq]

Trainspotting by far was my favorite;
Blow and Requiem for a Dream were excellent too.

 

[FUTURAmike]

formula 51 was shite.

 

[panty]

^^^
Interesting, I didn't know it went by a different title in the U.K. (or wherever you are)

 

[caffeine_voices]

eh? Formula 51 was the title in the US with Samuel L. Jackson

anyways...

this has pretty much turned into "name a movie that has drugs in it" rather than favorite Drug based movie...

Groove was not a Drug-based movie... it was about a rave. And Human Traffic as much as this is one of my favorite movies... was also about clubbing and going out partying... again not Drug-based in my opinion.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Blow
Requiem for a dream
Trainspotting

those are good picks

* Human Traffic
* Groove (best scene is when digweed is playing heaven scent and the song peaks just as the lovers kiss - one of my all time fave scenes in a movie)
* Go - I can't believe no one has said this movie. It's too funny!
* Blow
* Trainspotting
* Pulp Fiction (well, it was kinda drug based)
