Best films about drug use and addiction?
I recently rewrote a friend's essay on films about drug addiction. It got me wondering if there were some films I'd missed. These are the ones I know:
Total rubbish: Requiem for a Dream (2000) http://imdb.com/title/tt0180093/ Drugstore Cowboy (1989) http://imdb.com/title/tt0097240/ Pretty good: Pusher (1996) http://imdb.com/title/tt0117407/ Pusher 2 (2004) http://imdb.com/title/tt0396184/ Pusher 3 (2005) http://imdb.com/title/tt0425379/ Fantastic: Man with the Golden Arm (1955) http://imdb.com/title/tt0048347/ Trainspotting (1996) http://imdb.com/title/tt0117951/ Super-incredibly good: Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo (1981) http://imdb.com/title/tt0082176/ What do you think of these films? Should the style of the film attempt to replicate the drug experience? Are all drug films, whether anti- or pro-, inevitably dishonest and partial? What would an honest film about drug-taking look like? [I haven't seen Naked Lunch or Reefer Madness or Traffic. I've seen but not included, where perhaps I should, Boogie Nights, Scarface, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Human Traffic.] |
