Something about.. the greatest film ever

Also known as Trainspotting.

For me to review my favourite movie would be slightly biased. So instead of doing that I'm going to give you all the reasons WHY it's my favourite.

Trainspotting is to British film what the Beatles were to British music. Integral.

The film has caused controversy and complaint, banned from cinemas across the country on its release for 'encouraging and glorifying' drug use. The film has created a cult following. The film has made history, triggering an era of gritty British movies, far removed from the glamourous and shiny Hollywood blockbusters.

It's a movie masterpiece created by film legend, Danny Boyle. It was career making not only for its director, but also its leading man and narrator, Ewan McGregor.

The characters, casting, storyline, cinematography and soundtrack are all faultless.

With one of the most famous tag lines and monologues in film history and the most infamous scenes ever, Trainspotting has found a place in DVD collections across the world for one reason or another.

I'd say that those who banned it back in the 1990s really missed the point of Trainspotting. It's not about glorifying or glamourising heroin addiction, it's all there in the strap line: Choose life.
