Tough question indeed. It would have to be a close race between Trainspotting and 28 Days Later. Trainspotting would probably win in the end.

I really can't wait to get into more of Danny Boyle's movies, and I've heard a lot of good things about Trainspotting.

Obviously, I liked Slumdog Millionaire, so I'm looking forward to what else he has to offer.

Sunshine - It's just a fantastic film.

I enjoy most of his other work. Although I don't rate Slumdog that highly, it's still a decently directed film.

I had to go with Trainspotting, the working class junkies are just more likable than murdering yuppies of Shallow Grave. Let's face it the ravenous zombies of 28 Days Later are more likable than those three. Slumdog Millionaire is wildly overrated and I haven't seen Millions, Sunshine or The Beach.

Will this post stick or will it be disappeared like the last one? Hmmmm...

Great poll idea! I'm torn between Sunshine and 28 Days Later...

I've not seen all of them, so I might change my mind, but if I [had] to choose one, it'd be Millions as it's the only one I had any time for.

Trainspotting, followed ever so closely by Shallow Grave.

I had to go with Trainspotting, its been a favorite of mines since I can remember but I think Sunshine is just as good. Followed closely behind by The Beach and 28 Days Later.

Shallow Grave
It holds a special place in my love for movies heart. Trainspotting would be 2nd with Sunshine winding up the top 3. I have to admit that I even enjoyed The Beach after a 2nd go at it not too long ago. I had written it off because of Leo back in the day.

Man, this thread is depressing. Trainspotting is one of the most overrated films I've ever had the displeasure to endure. :(

I don't care for any of them.

I'm sorry to hear that. Unless you have some valid reasons for that remark can you please leave this thread now before we all tear you apart. ;)

I don't see how you could become depressed over this... especially since there are only eight movies to pick from... why not try world hunger or some such thing if you want to look for something to be depressed over... ;)

Anyway, why do you dislike Trainspotting?

It's been a long time, so this might be a little unreasonable, but I just didn't see what the big deal was. Although I've seen films in which I didn't care for the characters, I actively hated all the junkies, it would've been a much better film if they'd all just OD'd in the first scene and be done with it.

I didn't find it funny, I didn't think it was 'cool', I really just didn't like anything about it. Not the acting, the script, the setting, nothing. In fact, I think the only two things I liked about it were that it used (and popularised again) Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" and the bit when they shot the dog and it bit it's owner. That was the only laugh I got from the whole film.

Oh, as for world hunger, that doesn't depress me because I know how that can be solved. World hunger makes me angry, not depressed. :mad:
