Grade: A-
Trainspotting came out six years, and despite becoming a cult classic, it was not until 2002 that I finally saw this comedy-drama starring Ewan McGregor. Read the full movie review

A Classic!, by Smokey
February 15, 2007
This is my number 1 movie of all time! Its a classic example of how British films can be excellent on a relativley low budget, which I must say Americans havent really mastered yet (theres possibly a few exceptions to that). Generally americas idea of a good movie is a big budget... anyway lets not get carried away now. I think for you to truely enjoy this movie you have to have either lived in the UK or atleast visited there a few times and understand the culture. Alot of non uk people who I know personally think this movie is crap. But one mans junk is another mans treasure. I wouldnt say this movie is a comedy-drama, I mean theres a few humorous parts in it to soften the seriousness of the whole sittuation. But final words Truelly Brilliant, well worth watching!
