Trainspotting
Choose life.
Choose a job. Choose a starter home. Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose your future.
But why would anyone want to do a thing like that?
Set against the backdroup of a group of friends ensconced in late 1980s Edinburgh's kinetic, underground world of drug addiction, Irvine Welsh's debut novel TRAINSPOTTING was considered an "impossible" choice for cinematic adaptation - until director Danny Boyle did just that with the film, which remains one of the definining movies of the 1990s. Both a critical and commercial success, TRAINSPOTTING is a pop-culture touchstone due to inedible performances from its cast (including Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle and Kelly Macdonald) and a killer soundtrack that spawned two albums.

TRAINSPOTTING (Danny Boyle, 1996 / 94 mins) | Heroin addict Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) stumbles through bad ideas and sobriety attempts with his unreliable friends -- Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), Begbie (Robert Carlyle), Spud (Ewen Bremner) and Tommy (Kevin McKidd). He also has an underage girlfriend, Diane (Kelly Macdonald), along for the ride. After cleaning up and moving from Edinburgh to London, Mark finds he can't escape the life he left behind when Begbie shows up at his front door on the lam, and a scheming Sick Boy follows.
