Top drug movie = Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Terry Gilliam, 1998)

Raoul Duke is the coolest drug fiend to have walked the earth.

My parents won't allow me to watch Requim For A Dream yet, so I can't comment on that one, but I have seen Basketball Diaries and thought that was very good.

Yeah, Fear and Loathing in Vegas was a great film. Hilarious, realistic, and just flat out awesome.

As a serious film Less Than Zero with Downey was a very powerful picture, same thing goes for Traffic. There's been quite a few good films having to do with narcotics.

I wouldn't quite call Fear and Loathing realistic but definitely hilarious and awesome.

Traffic was highly overrated.

Requim for a Dream hands down.

And whoever implied that it is exaggerated is wrong. Its very true to life.

The actions that were conducted in Vegas seemed realistic to me.

Traffic? Maybe. But the film is just done so well, and the characters are so deep, the product of Traffic is glorious.

Basketball Diaries

The best I have seen is Requiem For A Dream

Smoking out of a lightbulb IS a method of crack smoking, but in the movie itself depp was freebasing meth

All of the already mentioned are great movies. Fear and Loathing, Trainspotting, Requim For A Dream, Blow etc.


A favourite of mine is Candy an Australian film that didn't get much attention. Great performance by Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish.


I wouldn't class Scarface as a drug movie even though cocaine is a major theme. Its a great movies all the same. Other good movies with drugs as a heavy theme are Buffalo Soldiers and King of New York and Party Monster.

My top 3 in order are:
1. Requiem For a Dream
2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
3. Blow
