Top Drug Movies
 
Im new so dont kill me if this has allready been posted on but...

At the end of this summer ill be becoming an NYU film student :) and last week i was on the phone with my dorm mate..clearing stuff up and we got onto the topic of Drug related movies...

My favorite move of all time (trainspotting) obviously is a Drug movie as well as a few others of my top picks..but this discussion just totally reamped my lust for drug movies. Anyone else fascinated by them or have a favorite?

some of mine...
1. Trainspotting
2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
3. Requeum for a Dream
4. Permenent Midnight
...just a few

(please no one say traffic haha)

I can't say I'm fascinated by them. Many serious drug films disturb me deeply, so much so that I can't stomach watching my number two pick any more. Marijuana comedies on the other hand I like, but are extremly over done. But here you go...
1. Goodfellas - Some may think this is a bit of a stretch, but it's really not.
2. Requium for a Dream - The final 15 min. are the most difficult I've ever sat thru.
3. Trainspotting - "Choose Life"
4. Half Baked - "You in here for some marijuana?"
5. Saving Grace - Cute, uplitfing, and funny all in one.

I'm also going to add Dazed and Confused.. Because it is borderline... and just a good film.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
In the Movie Depp was heating a light blub with a lighter, does that get you high or something?

I am also adding Late night sessions to my list.. it's a very shakily filmed movie about the exploits of a group of friends who are all stoners and part of the rave scene. It's actually really good.. the charactors are sometimes 2D.. so beware of that
