Your top 5 "drug movies" & what you watch when you're high...

Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, or Pineapple Express for me. Oh and the Harold & Kumar films.
 
Some great one's mentioned already.
I found "Super High Me" to be a great documentary, if anyone hasn't seen it, the comedian Doug Benson gets blazed nonstop for a month...
 
i just watced requiem for a dream for the first time...shit was fucked. Seriously it left me pretty shaken. It was shot and edited so well, such a good build up.
 
Did this thread get to 3 pages without a mention of Human Traffic? Sacrilege!

Great film about ecstasy.
 
As previously mentioned:

fear and loathing in las vegas,
Spun,
Half Baked,
Trainspotting,
Requiem for a Dream,
Cheech + Chong
Human Traffic,
And although it doesn't involve drug use.... waking life!
 
Drugstore Cowboy all the way.
My favorites on this list (Basketball Diaries, Trainspotting, Drugstore Cowboy) were all books first.

Looks like I'm one of the few people who dislike Requiem. I couldn't stand the image of the pupils expanding as they shot up. Also, it was pushed to the max, like past reasonable reality which IMO would have been even worse I think.
 
Requiem for a dream was stupid imo, I could have made that movie myself. A powerful drug like heroin needs a powerfull movie and that suit they did when they got high was just pathetic. Candy is one of my favorites.
 
Human Traffic or Candy, and Fear & Loathing gets runner up for sheer weirdness

Those first two are the only ones that I felt really captured the experience of their respective drugs, that managed to convey the feeling the drug provides or depict in convincing terms the relationship the user develops with the drug. I think personal experience is a big part of it, Candy is based on an autobiographical book, and anybody who's seen Human Traffic can tell you that the guys who made that film have obviously had plenty of nights getting off their nut in the club scene, then of course there's Hunter S. Thompson...

Films like Requiem for a Dream come off as overblown and understated in all the wrong places because the people who made them obviously gain their drug knowledge second hand.
 
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
