The best dark comedy about drugs ever. .. but be warned- this isn't a film for the squeamish. Trainspotting is a film that has the guts to tell the truth about heroin- people take it because it works. . .(not that their aren't consequences, but it does work for the addict.) A film that is based in Scotland and starring a young Ewan McGregor. . .not surprising since no American studio would have the guts or brains to shoot this movie.

Put me off of using public restrooms for a few weeks.

The best movie I have ever seen. Really puts you in the mind of a junkie. They should be able to show this movie in school instead of all those other anti-drug movies they show. Certainly would make a person think twice before starting up this awful addiction. I haven't seen this movie in years, but it made a huge impact on me.

If I could only watch one movie for the remainder of my life, this would be the one. Virtually a no-name cast, but after a few viewings you'll come to know and love them all. Everything you could ever want, wrapped up in a single film (rapid-fire pace, excellent acting, scenic backdrops that establish mood, tight plotline, etc.), not to mention a fair smattering of violence, nudity, and foul language (in the Queen's English, which is a challenge to follow for most). If you've ever considered developing a credible smack habit, this is the flick that'll make you think otherwise. Bloody marvelous from start to finish.
