i lived a scarface like lifestyle for a bit... and i think thats the only movie i would ever watch again in that category of drug film.

I can relate 100%. For a while the movies literally made throw up. Bringing back those kind of memories is not the most pleasant experance. Although I've moved past that... I can take the films for what they are a little better. I enjoy them and think they are excellent films...regardless that I know people who have died, I know people who are killing themselves now.. there's not a lot one can do to save people who just don't want it. You can try and try saving them, no matter how much you love them, how many times you tell them that what they are doing is wrong... it doesn't help. (Although its great to hear you personally have moved on from that, its difficult)
Its almost like watching a documentary at some points and that can be frightening.
Next Try Gummo... my goodness...
I was dating someone else when I saw this..we ended kind of out of the blue so we still talk.. but we were out one night and he said "I still cannot believe you watched Gummo with me". That made me feel warm and fuzzy like I never should about a movie like that.
