[maloxx]

No particular order

Requiem for a Dream
Holy Rollers
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
The Big Lebowski

 

[verso]

Can I just say that I think Requiem for a Dream is the most over-sensationalized piece of ridiculousness I have ever seen?

I am not sure exactly what movies involving drug use I like best, but here are a list of movies that I like watching while intoxicated

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas
2. Up
3. The Dreamers
4. Coco Avant Chanel
5. Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain

I guess anything that's really quirky and high contrast.

 

[deaf eye]

No one said my favorite?

Rush

i like when that one fellah is like 'theres nothing to it but to do it "

 

[hellocatastrophe]

hmmmm- only five?!
in no particular order:

candy
basketball diaries
requiem for a dream
party monster
spun

there's so many more but those are the first five to pop into my head atm.

 

[hydrochron]

American gangster.

Dont like blow.

Need to find some new ones.

 

[blueyedevil173]

1. Trainspotting (just about the most fair and accurate representation of h addiction I've seen)
2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (confusing and weird, but funny)
3. Requiem for a Dream (overly dramatic, but still very good)
4. Leaving Las Vegas (depressing, but I admire Cage's character going out on his own terms)
5. Crank (mindless popcorn flick, but Statham is always fun to watch)

 

[Tommyboy]

Kids
Blow
Alpha Dog (more funny than good)
Trainspotting
The Rules of Attraction

 

[Queen Frostine]

I'm surprised that no one has said Across the Universe! Of course, it's about more than drugs, but they certainly play a role. Fucking awesome visuals with Eddie Izzard being a nutzo.

Also:
Psych-Out
Blue Sunshine
Go
Human Traffic
The Trip
24 Hour Party People
Groove
Party Monster

[VincentOnE]

Best Drug Movie?

IMO
Requiem for a dream.


3 groups of people,
start working toward something they want,
and with solid goals,
fall short of the finish line,
and fall fucking hard.

Although unrealistically, they inject Heroin and their pupils dilate, the movie really draws out on some realistic emotions and possibilities.
The plot, is so fucking easy to relate to, from any drug user, or anyone who's ever tried to achieve more than they're getting in their lives.
And really follows the very real fear of addiction, in any persons mind. Not even just the addiction to a chemical, the addiction to a want, a desire.

I haven't seen any drug-related movie like it, but I'd surely like to, or even one better :D
Your favorite?
Good watches?
Etc.?
