In no particular order:
Trainspotting
Requiem
Sid and Nancy
Party Monster
Fear and Loathing
Drugstore Cowboy
Pink Floyd the wall
Rush
Leaving Las Vegas (although, more of an alcoholism movie than drugs)
Lucky Girl (although, more of a gambling addiction movie)
I need to see some of these other onesgo, salton sea, and others not mentioned on my list
Never touch the stuff (hard drugs), but these movies really fascinate me.
I wonder why.
Maybe it's a constant reminder of how precarious our lives are, and the slightest slip can make it all unravel and go to hell really, really quickly.

-Drugstore Cowboy
-Trainspotting
-Rumble Fish(To those in-the-know Heroin plays a major role in the film on many levels.Although mentioned only a few times,Its a big part of the mystery to why "Motorcycle Boy" came back & what he found or didn't find in California)
-Pink Floyd: The Wall
-Barfly(Booze. & although Bukowski wasn't entirely happy w/the film & portrayal of his alter-ego Henry Chinaski,I thought Rourke was amazing & the film great.& Bukowski experienced enough Hollywod BS to churn out a novel about it"Hollywood"which is a great read)
-Grateful Dead:The Movie -
