Trainspotting (1996)

I wasn't old enough to know this existed when it came out, but after hearing some good things about it I gave it a shot, and it was a pretty good film. I can see how it could have a cultish affect on people, it's one of those films. 

It's about this guy who's a heroine addict and how he struggles with his addiction, but it isn't a depressing movie. It can be kind of funny, a sick kind of funny. It isn't a movie about how drugs are bad and how they can destroy your family and mess up your life, just about how they can mess up your life. And this is passed off as both something to pity and something to laugh at... but it is also not a light-hearted movie fluffing off the issue. It is a raw look at the life of a guy who goes in and out of heroine addictions.. but doesn't really care. In his eyes it's just another aspect of his life at the moment. Worth the watch.
