Trainspotting (1996)
Smart, funny, sickly, and sometimes just plain unconscious, Mark Renton is a hero of our times. Set in an underbelly of Edinburgh the city fathers never dreamed of, Trainspotting is the story of Mark and his so-called friends - a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves, and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, toward self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate - but then again, does he really want to choose life?
