Of those, Scarface and Requiem for a Dream are fantastic. Reefer Madness is quite bad, but kind of fun to watch as comedy. Haven't seen Fear and Loathing. Basketball Diaries was average. Up in Smoke is a cult classic but really nothing special; it was eclipsed by the Friday movies. Haven't seen Traffic. Trainspotting was very good. Haven't seen Drugstore Cowboy or Blow.
Some other decent films:
Dazed and Confused
Friday
Gridlock'd
Thirteen
Bright Lights, Big City
Bad Lieutenant
Boogie Nights
Training Day
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Go
Midnight Cowboy
Leaving Las Vegas
Pulp Fiction
Avg:
28 Days
Decent documentary:
Grass
And some bad ones, but might be fun to watch sometime:
How High
Half-Baked
Friday after Next
Next Friday
Also if you like Reefer Madness, check out Sex Madness (1938). There's a free download of both movies at archive.org. That site also has some other terrible propaganda films they used to show in high schools
bigddubb 11-15-2004, 06:23 PM check out a movie called "Spun". It has Brittany Murphy in it and its about all these speed freaks. It's a pretty funny movie and has this one scene that will have you laughing for days. ****in meth heads....LOL
SonnyG8R 11-15-2004, 06:30 PM The Cheech and Chong movies are by far the best "drug movies". And as Jose would say. It ain't up for debate.
SonnyG8R 11-15-2004, 06:35 PM Midnight Express is pretty hardcore.
Boxerdog 11-15-2004, 07:40 PM "Monkey On My Back"...the story of boxer Barney Ross was good but would seem pretty dated to you guys.
borikua 11-15-2004, 08:01 PM Midnight Express is pretty hardcore.
I like that movie...there is also one that is like Midnight Express but with two girls...I just don't remember the name.
Dr.Depravity 11-15-2004, 09:18 PM Fear and Loathing by a mile on this one.
:cool:
Lock stock and two smoking barrels is close but midnight express , **** that film is so harrowing. :cool:
city of god though its not just bout drugs. :cool:
Boxerdog 11-16-2004, 09:17 AM I like that movie...there is also one that is like Midnight Express but with two girls...I just don't remember the name.
Breakdown Palace?
LuKahnLi 11-16-2004, 09:17 AM Up in Smoke is an absolute classic. Cheech and Chong are one of the great comedy duos of all time.
DR. FREECLOUD 11-16-2004, 10:58 AM 25th hour is pretty good. 21 gramsis another good one. but my favorites are the comedies. cheech and chong are the best
jabsRstiff 11-16-2004, 12:15 PM I go with Trainspotting.

yeah me too mate i still enjoy the rare blowout but nothing like the old days. ;)

the pain outdoes the good time these days!
neils7147933 12-09-2004, 01:09 PM just remembered Al Pacino in Panic in Needle Park. It's not avaiable on DVD or VHS in the US I don't think but the Fox Movie Channel shows it (unedited - the studio does have a PG version circulating, like Saturday Night Fever) from time to time.
liams_parka 12-15-2004, 02:56 PM requiem for a dream was the most devastating film i have ever seen.
when it finished i just sat in my chair at home shocked by the disenchantment id witnessed.
if ever there's a film which puts someone off taking drugs (of all sorts) then Requiem is it!!
