The thought crossed my mind recently that in this day and age there are ALOT of movies with copius amounts of drug use, whether comedic or dramatic. Many of them are among my favorite movies.
We all enjoy the Schadenfreude of watching movies of the like (right...? well I do), so what are your favorite movies, characters, scenes, lines, etc of the genre?
Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Requiem for a Dream, Reefer Madness, Scarface, Blow, Spun, Dazed and Confused or one of the Cheech and Chong movies? (those just the ones that stand out in my mind at the moment.)
Among my favorites:
Movie: TIE between 'Trainspotting' and 'Requiem' (Though Boogie Nights could technically garner consideration...)
Actor/Character: Jeff Bridges as 'The Dude', 'The Big Lebowski'. Just an awesome character. So laid back and non-chalant.
Line: Anything from 'Fear and Loathing...' ('We finally got to the room... but the key wouldn't open the door'😀)
Fav Scene: Drug deal scene in 'Boogie Nights'. Nothing beats Everyone coc'd out with Alfred Molina singing 'Jesse's Girl' and 'Night Ranger' while firecrackers are going off. NOTHING.
'Trip' Scene: Ewan's recovery scene in 'Trainspotting'. The baby crawling on the wall=CLASSIC. (The Acid Trips in 'The Big Lebowski' deserve honorable mention, as well)
Horrific scene: When Jen Connelly goes to the orgy in 'Requiem'... haunted me for days... I was SO depressed
Comedic scene: TIE between when Slater explains how George Washington grew Gonja in 'Dazed and Confused' and the 'Bazooko Circus' scenes in 'Fear and Loathing'
Best/worst Death: Tony Montana, 'Scarface'.
