Requiem for a Dream (very, very disturbing though)
Little Miss Sunshine
Requiem for a dream is possibly the single most disturbing film I have ever watched. It is about heroin addiction and deals with this topic in a heavy and graphic way. It is rated R for good reasons so I do not recommended this film for anyone under the age of 16.
Well there’s “Go Ask Alice”
Or “shattered spirits”
Both movies are fairly old but relate to drug/alchohol addictions.
love and other drugs
requiem for a dream
thirteen
blow
“Jesus’ Son.”
“Another Day in Paradise.”
“Panic in Needle Park.”
“Crazy Heart.”
‘Trainspotting’ all the way! And ‘Pop Skull’. ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ too, although I wouldn’t say they’re “struggling” with drug addiction but rather succumbing to it.
What other’s have said:
Requiem for a Dream
Trainspotting (but you’ll prob need sub-titles 😉
Rush
I thought ‘Blow’ blew lol
Barfly (about booze)
Actually it was Spun that blew, Blow’s not a bad film.
