Rush with Greg Almond and Jennifer Jason Leigh was a good one too. It may not be one of the best but it's an interesting take on undercover narcs and drug addiction

[ QUOTE ] Boogie Nights has pretty much the most accurate coke scene I've ever seen (with Juilianne Moore and Heather Graham). [/ QUOTE ] i always tought scarfaces "head into the pile" at the end was the most accurate coke scene ever made [/ QUOTE ] More accurate than Woody Allen sneezing away a pile of coke in Annie Hall? Talk about gritty realism. |

Re: Best films about drug use and addiction?
theatrical, A-list lead (involved pending script)
The rights holder killed the studio version a few years ago. It will be funded by a mini-major most likely and/or private investors. My partner just joined a conglomerate of companies expanding from distribution into a new mini major (big casino guy is co-owner). I'm only involved because the rights holder is close to my good friend and they are looking for fresh talent to write it. |

Re: Best films about drug use and addiction?
This movie is more about drug smuggling than addiction but I think it is worth mentioning. Midnight Express is the story of a young American hashish smuggler who gets caught
smuggling in Turkey. It is a compelling and haunting movie and it is a good film for young travellers to see before they go on a trip to those countries where drugs are prevelant yet punishment for even possession can be severe. |
