Trainspotting

I'm just wondering how many people have actually seen the movie trainspotting. Basically Ewan McGregor is a heroine addict trying to get clean. I just watched it and really liked it and wondered if anyone else had actually seen it.

 

oh ya, really good!
i bet 95.6248% of the people here have seen it
check the movie forum

 

I enjoyed that movie as well, but I don't remember it very much. Suppose I should re watch it.

 

One of the best. Top 3 for me.

 

great movie, hence my signature.

 

Its one of those movies I wouldnt just sit down and watch...theres a mind set for it for me.

 

Yeah my first time I watched it while seeing how far I could go with vodka and I don't recommend that.

 

Ive seen it countless times. Its a good movie.

 

Amazing movie. Definitely a 5/5. The book was amazing too (if not even more). If you liked the movie and you enjoy reading, I totally recommend checking out the book.

 

When that baby was on the celing crawling like a fuc*ing spider,, that took my stoned ass mind for a loop...LoL

 

yeah.. i only saw this movie once & i was wasted. didn't like it too much

maybe because i drank half of a 1.75L of crown before/during the movie

 

You really didn't see it then.

 

Trainspotting is one of my favorite movies. I have a Trainspotting poster in my room (one that has the beginning narration of the movie written out, "Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career..." etc.). I've seen it many, many times.

One precaution about reading the book (which I would definitely recommend, books are always better than the movie!), is that it is hard for Americans to understand. In parts of the book (narrated by Renton, I think) Irvine Welsh writes phonetically to exaggerate Renton's Scottish accent. It's not an easy read, but very rewarding if you manage to get through it and understand it.

My favorite scenes from the movie are when Renton goes into that disgusting toilet, and when he meets Dianne. Or how about when Tommy and his girlfriend find out their sex tape is missing? Hahahahaha.

 

Only ever seen it once, but I remeber I loved it. I will have to check it out again sometime.

 

Trainspotting is good

Candy is much better, same concept, more gritty and real.

 

Yea, book was better but regardless, both fantastic works. Everyone is on point in it.

 

Great movie, watched it many times. I also red the book and I found it pretty amazing how they got such a consistent storyline out of it for the movie. Very welldone in my opinion.

 

heroin addiction is insane.
so was this movie.

 

This is one of my three favorite movies, it has such a re-watch value. So many great scenes and lines, and I thought all the actors did a great job.

Like others said, the book is fantastic too. At first glance it is like a foreign language, but after the first few pages I was already quite accustomed to it and loved the accents it put into my head.

The sequence when he's locked in his bedroom and has to quit cold turkey is probably my favorite part. Pure insanity and a great job by Ewan McGregor

 

one of my favorite movies,
the scene with the baby is scary and
the toilet scene is hilarious!
