Arolemodel.com takes a look at some of the most realistic and most influential movies about drugs and addiction to have ever graced the cinema screen.
No Pressure Review: This is an odd light-hearted watch that is a bit confused whether it wants to paints its characters in a good or bad light.
Rest In Peace Review: This gripping thriller will captivate you from start to finish, leaving you pondering the boundaries between right and wrong long after the credits roll.
The Believers Review: Netflix's newest release is a thrilling ride with some emotional moments peppered in between.
I like the inclusion of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas here. It kinda sets itself apart from all the others in that it's not a "dangers of drugs and addiction" type movie. Rather it's just a "it just is what it is" type of deal.
I'm very glad to see Requiem for a Dream at the top. I thought that movie was an eerie look at addiction. It's just so raw and unapologetic that it makes my skin crawl. Ellen Burstyn was amazing.
Ummm spun? Should have at least been number 2
Requiem for a Dream isn't a surprise; it's the quintessential addiction movie. Traffic was another good one.
