Favourite Drug based Movie

[Carl Landrover]

A friend of mine told me about a movie called "Holy Rollers" which is about othordox jews being convinced to smuggle mdma because no one will suspect them, no clue if its any good but I'm going to watch it pretty soon. Even if it is shit its will be worth watching purely for poops and giggles.

I thought it was pretty good. I think it may have been based off a true story. It's got Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Bartha in it.

I don't remember I Love You, Phillip Morris having heroin in it either. I'm gonna have to re-watch that one.

Trainspotting and Fear & Loathing tied for top spot for me, followed by A Scanner Darkly - awesome film, got it on Blu Ray

Simple. This thread was created in 2005. A Scanner Darkly came out in 2006.

John Dies at the End. Cult!

 

[The Liberal Media]

Lots of good choices here , but saw Naked Lunch in the theatre the day it came out, and always stuck with me.

I picked requiem for a dream because it seems that the producer really knew about drugs: the high, excitement, and the low that comes even when someone apparently has a hold of the game.

Eyes dilated in the little montage when ever they shoot up, that pissed me off. Also the scene where the girl goes to the dealers apartment are soul crushingly depressing. That was overly depressing for my liking, and I don't have a thing against depressing movies I loved there will be blood (not drug related but just again soul crushing).

I though it was silly tbh; like, use heroin and you're gonna end up in prison or missing an arm. C'mon

and yeah, the pupil thing too.

When they show people smoking out of bongs in movies or on TV shows why are they always using crappy acrylic bongs and not glass? That bugs me
