Withnail and I is a gorgeously lyrical and evocative film. Some of my friends think it's just about a couple of toff ponces mincing about mind you. (Which it is).

Even though it got shitty reviews, Next Day Air was funny as fuck. Which also seems like the right kind of drug themed movie for SR members.

I can't recommend the best drug themed movie, as we all have our favourite vices, and like different things!

I for one, have many of them, so can't just choose one!  ;)

But I'd like to recommend...

1. Trainspotting - For H, obvious and amazing! Although I don't do H, I was mindblown by this epic film! :)
2. Blow - For Coke, the obvious again and amazing - If you haven't seen it yet, where have you been? ;)
3. Requiem for a Dream - Four individuals, all fucked up on heroin, cocaine, and speed, and the problems that come with it, brilliant script, beautifully acted, simply superb! :D

Have any of you heard/watched a film called Dead Babies?

It's based on Martin Amis second novel, and is about a clash of British and American youth cultures, it's very engaging!
 
It has a mean streak and a devilishly dark side, if you like your dark humour you'll thoroughly enjoy it, and is refreshingly original!

One to watch!  :)

To be honest I thought that Fear and Loathing (the film) followed the book extremely closely.

Apart from the bit where, in the book, he ends up in jail for the night, and a more detailed explanation of the shooters at the start of the bike race, I couldn't think of much that the film left out.

Usually there are entire chapters missing but in the case of Fear and Loathing, I thought Terry Gillingham did a fantastic job of turning the book into a film.

I read the book after seeing the film and TBH it was like reading the script of the film!

Nope, but thanks for the tip. Dloading from pirate bay now, some not so great reviews on imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469966/reviews
I like to watch all drug themed movies and documentaries no matter what sort of slant they are putting on it.

Here's the summary:
Quote
A med student, a teenage runaway, a lawyer, a drag queen, a high school basketball player, a drug dealer, and a teacher all cross paths in the Ecstasy-riddled L.A. underground party scene. Rolling is a turbulent journey that takes a tough yet entertaining look at this unique drug phenomenon. With the pace and style of a documentary, Rolling captures the essence of Ecstasy culture, exposing the delicate balance of relationships and responsibilities with chasing this drug-induced euphoria.

Sounds a lot like life in my mid 20's, drag queens included.  ;D

Love Danny Dyer. Love Human Traffic!

Have you seen Human Traffic remixed?

Danny Dyer also starred in, Is Harry On The Boat.

Another hilarious drugs related(ish) film, about a group of holiday reps doing their first season in Ibiza, their female manager, is a crazy coke head who does anything to get her fix!

If you liked human traffic you should definitely watch this!  :)

SW9 came from the same producers as Human Traffic.

Whereas Human Traffic was set in Wales, SW9 is set in London, a much deeper film, much more street cultured!

SW9 is Human Traffic grown up!  :)

Yeah I agree, it was very closely followed but there are certain parts which are so much more vivid and effective through the mastery of hunter s man. I don't mean to take away from the film as its my fav film of all time but you can pick up more of the satire through the book. Like the bit where raoul's at the petrol station asking where to find the American dream and it's a place where all the junkies and lowlife's hangout. That bit really sticks in my mind.
Although not a drug film/book the rum diary was good too.. Unfortunately they didn't follow the book quite as closely for that one.

Fear and Loathing is a great watch. Something about seeing two guys push their boundaries while having a wild crazy time doing it is just so fun to watch.

Also, Blow. Any movie that can make you want cocaine that bad after watching is good in my books.

edit: Can't believe I forgot about the Dude. Big Lebowski is awesome. Also Dazed and Confused is a pretty good chill movie.

Post by: bubbak on August 09, 2012, 10:07 pm
Most of the best drug movies have been mentioned (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Withnail and I, etc.), so here are some others I think were missed:

A Clockwork Orange
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/
Alex and his droogs drink milk laced with synthemesc, vellocet, or drencrom before committing their crimes in this classic Kubrick satire. "Synthemesc" is synthetic mescaline; "vellocet" is methedrine/speed, and "drencrom" is adrenochrome. A classic.

Rules of Attraction
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292644/
Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho, Less Than Zero, and The Informers among others, has called this one of the best movies based on one of his books.

The Big Lebowski
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715/
The Coen brothers' offbeat comedy classic is hilarious with a joint, white russian, or nothing at all.

Weeds
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439100/
This one doesn't fit since it's a tv show, but season 1-3 feature some of the funniest pot-related moments around as well as light drama. Along these lines, I'd also recommend the American version of the British show Shameless (the British version is probably as good or better, but I have never watched it).

I watched Trainspotting again last night and love it every time I watch it, I decided to total up what everyone has said as a gauge of which is the most popular (ignoring the ones which were mentioned only once/twice), not particular scientific but will help me pick out some new films:

Fear and Loathing - 13
Trainspotting - 11
Blow - 8
Requiem for a Dream - 8
Human Traffic - 7
Drugstore Cowboy - 5
Cocaine Cowboys - 4
Withnail and I - 4
Enter the Void - 3
King of New York - 3
The Big Lebowski - 3
Pulp Fiction - 3
A Scanner Darkly – 3

I’m surprised Scarface didn’t get mentioned more, but apart from that the top 5 match what I would of said and its time for me to go looking around Newzbin and TPB  ;D

There's a pretty good DMT documentary called The Spirit Molecule which is definitely worth a watch and'll likely put get you scouring the SR DMT vendors.  Focuses on both freebasing DMT and ayahuasca - good thing about the people interviewed is they're all pretty respected academics and all of them are extremely positive about their experiences, acquired knowledge and peace of mind they have achieved since.

Requiem for a Dream, will always be #1 for me.

Yeah, this.

I went on a serious drug movie binge for a couple weeks, watching Permanent Midnight, Midnight Cowboy, Spun, Fear and Loathing, Trainspotting, Requiem for a Dream, Altered States, etc. and Requiem has got to be my favorite (with F&L coming in at a close second). Not necessarily for realism, but for the story and the characters. Sara Goldfarb, believe it or not, is my favorite character in the movie. The actress playing Sara did such an amazing job of portraying her downfall. Don't get me wrong, the other characters' stories were equally depressing, but the performance and delivery that she gave as Sara was absolutely stunning.

I just wanted to post and disagree with those who said cheech and chong, and half baked.

Those movies portray stoners in a negative stereotypical light. It's a kind of weed-bigotry.

How are we supposed to convince people that pot is less harmful than alcohol if we're okay with promoting the idea that we're all idiots because we smoke?

Anyone seen Pure Shit?
It's really not that good, but it's so low budget and hardcore it's still a bit interesting.
Cheap thrill drug-movie for mdma lovers who think/thought katie holmes is cute: Go
Anyone seen that Animal Collective movie: oddsack?  I saw it at the cinema and just thought the whole thing was a big massive trip, good and bad.

other than that.. shit i was tryna remember a movie that came out in the movie BELLY. called : GUMMO

yall see da scene for the lil kids shootin eachother with playguns  like a rabbit

GUMMO is a sincerely disturbing movie on so many levels. Pretty sure I was sober (if not, just smokin' weed) when I saw it and I was horrified most of the time, lol. It's brutal, won't see it again, but don't regret seeing it actually. Never known anyone that has seen it or know what it is til now when you mentioned it, lol.

This one is a stretch for drug-themed, but the mother is a regular heroin user. Visitor Q, a Japanese live action film. Truly fucked up but in a lot of different ways ... One scene has the father of the family banging a female co-worker that he accidentally choked to death and brought back to his home. Rigor mortis causes his junk to get stuck inside the dead girl, and his wife eventually gives him a shot of heroin to free him. It's a lesser-known film by Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition, and many more) who is known for his controversial films.

Not sure if has been mentioned already, but I've just finished watching Ecstasy. Wasn't bad, same author as Trainspotting and had a similar feel, although a lot lighter.

Gotta love those japs.  I saw one movie that was really fucked up.  This guys neighbour vanishes and at the same time he is banging some young bird at the university or something.  Later on it turns out that she is a serial killer and goes after blokes who take advantage of young women.

MATE Oldboy is on TONIGHT on one of the freeview channels.  I noticed it this morning.  My brother is still banging on about how great this movie is like three fucking years after he has seen it.
Although i cant say much, i keep going on about District 9 at work.  Must have seen the last twenty minutes 10 times now. 8)

He had a really cool operation set up in that movie, and for his mates to stitch him up like that was fucking retarded. 

As for Jacobs Ladder, the fact of having a "bad trip" is all you got from that movie???
They all killed each other in vietnam after being sprayed with LSD by over head planes.  It really happened mate.
What you saw was him living his last few dying breaths and finally figuring out that he was dead thereafter.
