Blu B All Time Classic. The cinematography is graphic, funny, disturbing, and sad. Filled with quirky characters that are somehow mostly likeable besides the fact they are very flawed. It weaves perfectly between the 4 friends with Renton's narration serving as the anchor and being for the most part the main focus. We see all his ups and downs the entire way and want him to succeed. In an ironic way he does but it's such a bittersweet type of ending too. Everything is first rate here and the defintion of a dark coedy that's very graphic and disturbing. It truly immerses you in the world of addicition by showing the effect your friends have on you and yourself as well. If you can stomach very graphic stuff and laugh at very dark subject matters than give this a try. McGregor's finest hour. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Leprechaun K I remember loving this movie in my 20s. Seeing it again some 28 years, it didn't age well. Entertaining nonetheless. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Jay W I Spotted No Trains Maybe I'm just too much of a prude for the dark humor of this film to work. There is just so much unpleasant stuff in this film. There is a whole lot of poop, and some of the most unsettling scenes ever put to film. There are several scenes with a baby crawling around, and I just kept thinking, OK movie, what are you going to do with that baby? And I don't like the answer they gave. Likewise, the characters are too unlikable to get behind. They are jerks to everyone they meet, and jerks to each other. There is no loyalty or friendship here. There's no growth, there's no reason. But who needs a reason, when you could have heroine? Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Jyri J Along with an insanely good soundtrack, the plot of Trainspotting is entertaining, sad, satisfying and authentic. You rarely fall in love with the characters this easily. Simply an amazing movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Dominik N Funny, sad and human. The characters feel surprisingly real and sympathetic, while clearly being, for the most part, bad people. The ending is satisfying and the movie as a whole is very enticing to watch, especially the drug induced scenes. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Evan M The first time I saw this film I hated it for the way it portrayed my home town. The truth is that it’s bang on accurate! Begbie, Sickboy, Renton, all characters that were somehow familiar to me. Now that I’ve come to terms with the movies honesty I realise that drug abuse and poverty are social ingredients found the world over. Danny Boyle does an amazing job of telling the story in all it’s grit. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
