"Trainspotting"
1996
Directed by Danny Boyle

One of the most talked-about films of the year, Trainspotting is the wickedly witty story of the frustrations, aspirations and antics of a group of working class Scottish youths: unlikely hero Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) and his so-called friends, unlucky but amiable "Spud," short-fused, knife-wielding "Begbie" and narcissistic, Sean Connery-idolizing "Sick Boy." As the foursome plans a risky scam, Renton ultimately must decide to follow his reckless pals or "choose life" and sell out his friends in the process. "Electrifying and hilarious" (Rolling Stone).
94 minutes.
