Scariest drug scene in a movie.

[Beware the Beast Man]

Poll question: Scariest drug scene in a movie.

[Misunderestimator]

1. Pulp Fiction! That FREAKED me out!!

:scared:

[bigwillq]

6. That Pulp Fiction scene made me

LOL! :rofl: For real! I know, I am twisted but I thought the whole scene was hilarious.

What killed me is when all that shit was going down and the girl on the couch was still taking hits off the bong! :rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

12. Oh, that part made me laugh too!

The freaky part was just the moment that she realized that what she had snorted wasn't what she thought it was. The way she rubbed her nose like she wanted to tear it off, and the panic-stricken look in her eyes... :scared:

[ET Awful]

2. Requiem for a Dream, the whole damn movie, but especially

when he's shooting into the infected, totally f'ed up vein in his arm.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

4. damn, you BARELY beat me to it!!

:D

18. my favorite review of that movie, ever, from IMDb

on this page.

"Yet another pathetic attempt to glorify drug abuse!", 24 December 2002
Author: (mel_farr) from peter's room again

This movie follows in the long history of movies such as: Reefer Madness, Assassin of Youth, and Star Wars which attempts to glorify drug use by painting it's users and the long term effects in a positive light. This movie is disturbing and disgraceful in the way it seems to suggest to impressionable young minds that if you do drugs you will be cool. The movie stars Judd Nelson as a young man who can't seem to get along with his mother. He begins shooting heroin and suddenly they have something in common vso she gives him her tv. When he watches tv he sees Patrick Dempsey and Lil' Bow Wow and wants to be just like them. Soon he is an actor and hollywood with a nice haircut, all thanks to heroin. The mother meanwhile has always been doing heroin, but decides that her life will be even better if she begins popping pills. She does, and soon she is young, think and sexy enough that she can go on a game show and win. The message here is that: drugs make you smarter, sexier, more successful. Judd Nelson's girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, does less drugs then him, but she likes pot. So she leaves him to go get stoned with a mathematician. They smoke and then do important secret work for the government. Again we get the message: drugs make you smarter & more successful. Finally Judd's friend, played by Damon Wayans smokes cigarettes, then dresses up as a clown who is also a detective. He is really good at busting people by nocking them out with a sock and shouting "homie don't play croquet!" Again, same message: drugs make you successful!"

Youth of America: This movie is a lie. Drugs are not cool. Do not think for a minute that if you do heroin you will end up rich and famous like the people in Requiem for A Dream! If you do heroin you will end up face down in the dirt with charlie firing his ak-47 up your a** like in full metal jacket.

I hated that damn movie. Hated it.

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Hahaha. that's comedy.

I love the film. As dark and brutal as it is, it's a damn masterpiece.

[Frank Cannon]

26. Now, there is is somebody who not only missed the clue train...

but it left the station with all of their luggage.

[ContraBass Black]

33. Drug use in Star Wars?

[anarch]

34. your guess is as good as mine

That "review" cracks me up, though. :D

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. Requiem for a Dream - the whole movie.

[LynneSin]

5. Other: Where the hell is Requiem for a Dream

that whole movie makes you want to stay drug free for life. What happened to Jared Leto's arm is just :scared:

BTW, the scene in ray was about as scary as watching a Winnie-the-Pooh movie

[livetohike]

7. Requiem for a Dream

The only movie I will never watch again. Too disturbing in so many ways.

[Mutley]

8. Trainspotting.

Just 'cause that's one of my favorite movies.

[Coventina]

9. What was the name of that Jennifer Jason Leigh movie where she was an

undercover cop?

I can't remember the name of the movie, but some of those scenes were really haunting.

[peekaloo]

11. Rush.

tee hee a druggie movie named Rush.

[Coventina]

24. Thanks. It was driving me crazy!

And LOL about "Rush".
:D

[anarch]

10. Blue Velvet

"Baby wants to fuck!"

:scared:

(even though, according to Lynch, Frank was originally supposed to be inhaling helium, which isn't really a "drug"...but Hopper thought it would make more sense if it was Amyl Nitrate. Phhht. It's a David Lynch movie, and he wants it to make sense.)

[Shine]

13. Pulp Fiction is the movie I immediately thought of. n/t

[peekaloo]

talking about this the other day: 'Boogie Nights' where Alfred Molina

is smoking crack while his houseboy or whatever is setting off firecrackers.

Makes ya twitchy just watching that scene unfold.



I agree with the others, too, on 'Requiem for a Dream'.

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. Another vote for Requiem.

:thumbsup:

[dolo amber]

15. Other: The entire movie 'Spun'

:crazy:

[ghostsofgiants]

21. That movie gave me a headache.

Fuck Jonas Åkerlund and his 5,000+ cuts. Probably a good film otherwise, but I couldn't concentrate from all the damn cuts. x(

[XemaSab]

16. Other: Reefer Madness

:scared:

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Truly terrifying.

[SteppingRazor]

17. I bet anyone who doesn't vote for Requiem...

hasn't seen Requiem. That movie is seriously fucked up. You can take your pick of any drug scene in that movie, and it beats everything else in the poll -- shooting up in the infected arm, the dude's mother freaking out, etc.

Spun's a pretty tough one to take too, but it's a distant second to Requiem

[LynneSin]

20. The freakiest thing about Requiem is the music and how it's filmed

I mean, you're not just watching Jennifer Connelly snort herion or Ellyn Bustyn pop more speed. You actually become the drug as you go into the body, flow through the body and create the altered changes that the character becomes. And the music just fucks with your mind even more

[Frank Cannon]

27. That music was rearranged for the Lord of the Rings TV ads

A lot of people were wondering where in the LOTR movies that music appeared. It doesn't. The music from "Requiem for a Dream" was redone for the ads with a full orchestra.

That music has an edgy, desperate urgency that is just unbelievable. It's like an itch that cannot be scratched. I agree that it really adds to the film--which is IMHO a masterpiece, and the best portrayal of addiction ever.

[Frank Cannon]

28. I agree. The disturbing thing about Requiem for a Dream...

is that it applies to any addiction, really. It's about the messed-up situation of being addicted to something, period.

And it presents it very well and very, very graphically.

[SteppingRazor]

30. Indeed. The message is especially compelling...

to those of us who enjoy wallowing in vice :evilgrin:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

40. I'd second that.

Amazing film. Friggin emotional sledgehammer.

My favorite typical reaction by grown adults: "Holy fuck... I need to go call my mom."

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Requiem For A Dream, definitely.

[noonwitch]

25. Pulp Fiction. Geldoff cutting his nipple off in "The Wall" was bad, too.

I don't know if that counts as a drug scene or a going crazy scene. Maybe it's a "going crazy from the drugs, my bitch wife and my overcontrolling mother" scene?

[LynneSin]

35. The whole scene for "Comfortably Numb"

where Pink starts melting away.

:scared:

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

29. I'd probably have to say Requiem, but

I've got to recommend a very, very low budget film called Combat Shock (distributed by Trma, although far removed from what is generally associated with them). It's an unbearably grim and depressive film about a Vietnam vet who has returned to the US in poverty and is living with PTSD, a deformed baby and no job.

Aside from the overall tone (although Combat Shock has no upbeat and positive moments) I'm reminded of this film for a drug scene where the vets junky friend has got a Jared Leto-esque fucked up arm and no syringe so he opens up a vein with a coathanger (IIRC) and just tries to rub the smack in. I'm really selling this film!

31. Basketball Diaries

Haven't seem Requium. Sounds like I have to put it on my Netflix queue.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

39. Just do me one favor

Do NOT watch it expecting to be entertained. Watch it like you would view a piece of art.

[Orsino]

32. Richard Pryor's Live on the Sunset Strip

And it's a dmaned comedy routine. Chilling.

[Shell Beau]

36. I was pretty grossed out by the Pulp Fiction scene!

[Radical Activist]

37. The dead baby crawling on the celling

from trainspotting. It gave me nightmares.

[TheBaldyMan]

38. The hop-head freak out in 'Reefer Madness' - well it scares me :)

[ceile]

41. Traffic

Many of the teeneagers' scenes freaked me out.

[maveric]

42. "Jesus Son". The split screen with Crudup and Dennis Leary.

Both mainlining heroin that was not properly cut. Both passed out, Crudup's girlfriend came in and found him, call 911. Leary was alone and just died. The split screen was freaky.
I found this very creepy due to my brother,who's fate was that of the Dennis Leary character.
