Blow.
Requiem for a Dream.
If anyone says Scarface, I swear to god…
i loved fear and loathing, and across the universe was great too. oh, and there was definitely drug use in garden state, though i definitely wouldn’t say it comes to mind first when i think of drug related movies. less than zero, oh man. that was great. alice in wonderland, of course.
i feel like there’s one i really like that isn’t coming to me.
Oh my I can’t believe I forgot requiem for a dream.
Scarface and True Romance
Fear and Loathing is great. :D
Trainspotting. hands down.
Dazed and Confused
The Football Factory
Pulp Fiction
Fear and Loathing and Across the Universe. But I’m a Beatles nerd.
Add The Doors to my list. Lurve to everyone for Dazed and Confused.
Across the Universe was an amazing movie. I also realllllllly like Dazed and Confused. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.
Trainspotting for sure! also a Scanner Darkly is pretty much about nothing but drugs. Also Spun is really good too.
Any Cheech and Chong movie
Yeah, Dazed and Confused too, but I don’t really consider that a drug movie, per se… But is is definitely one of my top faves.
@madcapper A Scanner Darkly and Spun are great. I really, really like A Scanner.
Goodfellas is a good one too. it’s more a macguffin in that film, but stil…
Go
Cocaine Cowboys
Half Baked
Pineapple Express
Oh snap! Pineapple Express = <3
“Now fry like bacon, you little freshman piggies. Fry!”
Drugstore Cowboy too.
The Monkees’ Head (1968), co-written by Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson in the Mojave Desert one weekend while everyone was stoned as all get out. And Frank Zappa’s in it.
Just because I love Gregg Allman I would say the film Rush
Requiem for a Dream, hands down.
I’ve always said that if they showed that to every middle-schooler in America, drugs would disappear within a generation if not faster.
Damn how could I forget half-baked and pineapple express! “I feel like a slice of butter melting over a stack of flapjacks.”
Requiem for a Dream, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Naked Lunch, Dazed and Confused, Reefer Madness, BRICK, Almost Famous, Trainspotting, and Pulp Fiction.
I just watched a newer movie called The Wackness that has lots of drugs in it.
And, because Im a big MethodMan fan I would say How High
This might be of interest.
The subject matter isn’t a lot about drugs, but, relating to @AstroChuck ‘s link, any of David Lynch’s movies – Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Blue Velvet in particular – are amazing while high. The Who’s Tommy and Fantasia are also amazing.
Trainspotting is probably my favorite, Layer Cake was good but not as well known, and Pulp Fiction was awesome.
Requiem for a Dream is straight up depressing…*shivers probably one of the most depressing movies ever.
yes, it was a good movie, but depressing beyond belief. And yeah, Layer Cake is awesome, if you haven’t seen it, I suggest checking it out.
Fear and Loathing…..
and Trainspotting
Trainspotting
Dazed and Confused
Cheech and Chong
What the hell….. no one mentioned the wall yet?
@uberbatman – I didn’t like The Wall. I tried and tried. I do like Trainspotting very much, though.
I think one of the reasons Trainspotting is so great is that it’s a very accurate portrayal – the clinic, the stealing, the dead baby, shitting the bed, etc. it doesn’t try to glorify it or water it down.
@eponymoushipster I agree. The other two movies I listed are comedic, but trainspotting was just an eye opener and is very well filmed. I saw it the first time when I was 9 or 10 years old and it made me not want to ever try heroine.
trainspotting was fucking awesome
@dlm812 yea same here.
altered states- awesome movie
I did put down The Wall but ended up removing it…thinking may me he just gone crazy all by himself without using any drugs…that’s why no one had mentioned it. Thank you urbanbatman!
Oh, I want to add the first White Castle movie too.
@ckinyc: Oh shit, how’d I forget Harold and Kumar? Great fucking film for sure.
@TitsMcGhee that scene will drop me to the floor in laughter EVERY TIME. the music really drives it home.
@eponymoushipster: I saw that movie on a date, and it was almost like it was an actual romantic montage, haha.
it was! the coffee while doing the bills is classic.
@eponymoushipster: I just found out via facebook photo album that my friend met Harold. So jealous!
@TitsMcGhee ROLDY!! he’s in the new Star Trek movie as well.
oh right. well – uhm, star trek movies are wilder whilst on drugs.
Haha, that’s just about true of any movie….
Rush for the intensity of the characters and the dark reality that is heroin.
A lot of really great titles have already been named. Add A Clockwork Orange.
requiem for a dream.
and dazed and confused for suree.
but i also liked grandmas boy, made me laugh alott.
not really a drug movie, but they smoke a lot of weed.
and i loveeeddd alphadog, although they just deal with weed in that movie too.
@Pol_is_aware: Is A Clockwork Orange really considered a drug film? I mean, I’ve read the book, and there really isn’t much drug use…
@TitsMcGhee though there isnt much drug use, talk to any drug user and ask them if theyve seen Clockwork. You’ll find the answer is usually yes :P
@uberbatman: I guess you’re right… I’ve definitely seen it for sure, but I haven’t seen it while fucked up. Maybe I should try it?
@TitsMcGhee: I haven’t read the book, but in the film, the Ludovico Technique is basically a really strong antipsychotic.
I just take three hits from my pipe and… Wait.. What was the question?
