Episode 95: TRAINSPOTTING / Top 3 Drug Induced Movie Scenes

Summary: This week it's Savage's turn to pull his "Perfect 10" from the vastness of Netflix Instant, what we get is   TRAINSPOTTING  the Danny Boyle directed film from 1996. Just to recap, the movie tells the story of Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), a young man with few prospects and fewer ambitions, lives in economically depressed Edinburgh. Like most of his friends, Renton is a heroin addict who loves the drug's blissful nothingness; financing his habit also provides excitement and challenges that his life otherwise lacks. Renton's two best friends are also junkies: Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), a snappy dresser obsessed with James Bond, and Spud (Ewan Bremner), a guileless nerd who suggests Pee Wee Herman's debauched cousin. Renton and his pals also hang out with Begbie (Robert Carlyle), a borderline psychotic who loathes junkies even though he drinks like a fish. After one too many brushes with the law, Renton kicks heroin and moves to London, where he finds a job, a flat, and something close to peace of mind. However, Sick Boy, Begbie, and Spud all arrive at his doorstep on the trail of a big score, leading Renton back into drugs and crime. The film was also the debut of Kelly McDonald, who plays the Diane, the young love interest and sometimes voice of reason to McGregor.
