Fear and Loathing
Trainspotting
Requiem for a Dream
Naked Lunch
Blow
Half Baked
Dazed and Confused
Scarface
Quiqu'onque meurt, meurt à douleur (French movie from Québec, awsome, it's like "Cops go bad".)

I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting plenty, so help me out!

    Blow was a wicked movie. Loved the way they turned Penelope Cruz into trailer trash by the end.

    Oh and True Romance is another one, which you can just watch over and over again. The scene with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is pure magic... as is the ending!

    The cheech and chong movies are great for when you're stoned, as is saving grace, but my favourite is lock stock, its pure class, if a little confusing in parts.

    Human traffic is spot on, just got the dvd and the writer/director is interviewed on it. There he says that when deciding who was to be in it he asked the actors if they were into the 'scene' and disregarded anyone who was 'straight'. That may be why it worked so well.

    I got a dvd called 'acid house' which has 3 short films on it, FilmFour I think. The last 1 on it is based around this fella on a mad acid trip and is well worth a watch. They've been on tele I think and are in the bargain bucket in Asda (£7.50)

    my fave films r traffic, human traffic, cheech and chong and scarface, fuckin all classics!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    human traffic :)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    is acid house based on a book?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    The book is called 'Acid House' and is a collection of short stories by Irvine welsh. The T.V adaptation is also called 'Acid House'. but is only 3 of the short stories (one where he gets turned into a fly, one in which there is a mental guy who lives in a tenement building and is crazy and beats up the main character of the story, and I think the other one is about taking LSD as well, but I'm not too sure...), and that's 'Acid House'

    The one about the fly is so funny.

    Whats that one with that Katie girl from Dawsons Creek too? Can't remember the name but that wa a goodun!!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Human Traffic, Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing and Pulp Fiction...all classics!!

    While on drugs, I love watching Alice In Wonderland :crazyeyes and Labyrinth, with a rather crazy looking Bowie playing the Goblin King. Headfuck!:lol:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Yes! Alice is simply the coolest comic ever, and it was MADE FOR DRUGS! Mushrooms that my you 'grow" (high), catapillar smoking opium, the white rabbit (see: Jefferson Airplane), tweedle dee and tweedle dom, the signing flowers... I watched it on so many different drugs!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I wasnt stunned with Blow, it was alright but relatively forgetable. If you want an insight into the coke trade you should read 'snow blind' a fantastic book about a seriously clever coke smuggler from the 70's.

    Its not quite a druggie movie but a french film called 'La haine' is possibly the best movie ever made.

    Fear and loathing is good too, although the books better and his other work is even better than that.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    "La Haine" is awsome!

    Jusqu'ici, tout va bien...
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Check out Rush. Quality plus it's got Jennifer Jason Leigh in it :)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Cool films

    South West 9
    Trainspotting
    Requiem for a dream
    Fear and Loathing in L.V.

    These are all great movies! drugs or no drugs.
    Nothing better than watching a film while passing spliffs!!!!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Forgot to mention "Withnail and I"....absolutely fuckin hilarious!
    Who is the author of "snow blind"?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Bill and teds excellent adventure is an excellent movie to watch while stonned too, all those shots of them going in the phone box are great. The full title is;

    'Snowblind: A Brief Career in the Cocaine Trade' by Robert Sabbag

    Its very good.

    As for 'La Haine' everyone should go out and find it now and watch it, its a masterful piece of film work, stunning, artful and deeply moving.
