Trainspotting, 1996 - ★★★★★
REVIEWED
Just had the massive urge to rewatch this again over the weekend, with all the hype over the sequel finally getting the green light along with Boyle having a new movie out. Not sure what I think about the sequel, but if anyones going to make it glad its Boyle.
Choose... amazingly bleak humor (which remains immensely quotable).
Choose... fantastic music (which ranges from timeless rock, 90s Brit indie and often quirky incidental elevator music).
Choose... fine performances and direction (arguably the best picture entire cast and crew have ever made).
Choose... Kelly Mcdonalds T'n'A
Choose to wind up at the end of the 90 minutes feeling totally entertained.
[PRFR: Personal Reasons For Remembering]
The whole damn package is still amazing, little I didn't remember from last time I caught it (a good 2 or 3 years back). I had forgot how great Ewan McGregor used to be, I last caught him in that dull lifeless tsunami movie. And how much time both the characters of Tommy & Swanney got.
