A cult British classic that I would say introduced the world to Ewan McGregor, did for me.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton, had an drug addiction and finally decides to go "clean" once for all, but it's not as easy when all you mates are just as bad and feeding your bad habits. Set to a cool soundtrack in Edinburgh, Scotland him and his friends steal and rob to support their habit. There;s his hapless friend Spud, Tommy who's is a clean cut atelete guy who falls into the habit after his girlfriend dumps him, Begbie has over violent tendencies, con-artist Sick Boy. Tommy, has decided not to do heroin and criticizes his friends regularly for their lifestyle choice. Sick Boy, Spud and Renton are all addicts who spend their days shooting up in their drug dealer, Swanney's flat. Swanney is often referred to as "The Mother Superior" by the guys.
My favourite has to be Spud though, a simple soul and who to me has one of the most hilarious scenes after an "Overnight accident" due to being out of it and that's all I'll say. Great soundtrack.
