Best movies about Drug Abuse
FAVORITES 
Tags: drugs, heroin, cocaine, based on a true story, addicts, drug abuse
Some of the most thought provoking movies involve a character who is addicted to drugs, or the drug itself is the main character of the movie.
| 1. | Requiem for a Dream. Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans all give their all to portray heroin addicts at their worst. But the reason this movie is number one is Ellyn Burstyn. Her portrayal of a lonely widow and mother who has no idea what is happening to her is why this movie is number one. |
| 2. | Blow. Johnny Depp plays George Jung, the man who created the cocaine boom in the US. This movie shows us everything, beginning with his childhood and ending in his inevitable downfall. |
| 3. | Rush. Jason Patrick and Jennifer Jason Lee play cops who go undercover as drug addicts, only to fall into drug addiction themselves. |
| 4. | Up in Smoke. Cheech and Chong at their best. |
| 5. | Trainspotting. A group of friends in Edinburgh let nothing (and I mean absolutely nothing) come between them and the drug they crave. |
| 6. | Traffic. A movie told from every viewpoint of the war on drugs. |
| 7. | Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Johnny Depp again. This time with Benicio del Torro (who is also in Traffic). Crazy rug-induced stupors. |
