Default Re: Best films about drug use and addiction?

Oh, Blarg, Louis Cypher says a line that's right out of Oedipus: "How terrible is knowledge when it brings no profit to the wise." Both Oedipus and Harry Angel are searching for someone they find out is really they, themselves. (Even that ridiculous looking sun shade that Harry wears on the beach is reminiscient of a Greek mask that the actors in Greek tragedy would have worn.) And that sexy black girl was more than just a girl. You need to watch this again.

Oh, and one more: Chinatown when Faye Dunaway's character keeps getting slapped by Jack Nicholson for saying two different things that are really the same thing. (Avoided spoiler.)
