    Did you not see the end of that film? I thought it was incredibly depressing :L Depends on what you find depressing though i suppose.

    Ha, i hadn't seen it in years - i'd forgotten the ending till you said that!
    Still wouldn't really call it depressing though;)

    Stuart: A Life Backwards is not strictly a drug addiction movie (it's about an alcoholic) but it's worth a watch too!

    Great movie. First time I saw Tom Hardy in anything and I thought he was fantastic in it.

    I'm not sure why people keep mentioning leaving las vegas? wasn't he an alcoholic?

    it's a bit like saying cheech and chong is about drug addiction.

    If you're looking for something depressing, realistic and slow moving check out "Noi the Albino". It's about a teenage boy growing up in rural Western Iceland. It's got some brilliant scenes in it and the acting is top notch.

    Naked Lunch is a rather distrubing trippy journey down the road of heroin addiction (I think :p)

    I gave up when he started crying because he saw the dead centipedes in the market :L
    I may watch it again when I'm feeling more open minded :L

    The Matt Dillon flick, Drugstore Cowboy from the 90's is worth a look. They go round robbing pharmacies
