"It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the f*cking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any f*cking difference!" FANTASTIC MOVIE! Choose Trainspotting!!

A very good film adaptation of an even better novel! Please read the novel by Irvine Welsh, it's better than the film!

A great criticism to the addiction to drugs and the subtle bad influences of friendships in life, Trainspotting brings an important message to the youth, with a heavy vibe, a frenetic edition, great movements of camera and a hint of acid humor. I had a kind of fear of this movie be as sad and gore than Requiem for a Dream, but no... I confess that I liked more this one.

Rewatched this in preparation for T2 being released this week. Still as great as the first 5 viewings back in the day. If you've never seen it ... go and go now!

There is a pit in my stomach as I write this. Great films stick with you. Great films provoke a reaction. Oftentimes it's joy, or a sense of tragedy, or some lingering glimpse of profundity through art. But other times it's horror; other times it's disgust; other times it's skin-craw More

25 years on, and this Danny Boyle effort has lost little of it's authentic, gritty, potency. Set in mid 1990s Edinburgh it follows the antics of a disparate group of friends whose only goals in life are to survive, maybe get laid, and to take each day as it comes... "Begbie" (Robert Carlyle) is thei More
