Drugs seem to have become something that can not be ignored by us. Especially with the rampant development of drugs in the world are dangerous. There are drug dealer, drug addict, police officer, and some other element of drug in the following movies.

Here is a list of movies that tell you about drugs that might interesting to watch. Some of them are the best collection of movies from the 90s.




1. Pulp Fiction (1994)





Explaining the story of this movie is quite difficult because Pulp Fiction is told with a non-linear flow, making it difficult to tell without spoiler. So the point is this movie about two mercenaries named Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield who work for Marsellus Walace. On the other hand, Vincent also had the task of protecting Marsellus's wife named Mia. It's a tough job because Mia is an unruly woman.

There is also a story about a veteran boxer named Butch who was asked to lose deliberate by Marsellus but in the field, Butch won and even killed his opponent so he was chased by the Marsellus. Still confuse guessing the plot? If you've been watching it, you'll still get dizzy, but I guarantee you'll be amazed to see this movie.




2. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)





For some people, happiness is when you have a lot of money and could buy anything you want. But when the money is enough, what else? They have the same level of happiness like people who have a mediocre income. In fact, people who have more money are more worried about how they can salvage their money. And they can be happy in other ways, when they do not think about money.

Based on the true story of a Jordan Belfort, from the luxuries of his life to being a wealthy stockbroker who lived an elite life until his downfall involving crime, and corruption. There are a lot of nude scenes, sex, and cocaine consumtion. And also other crazy scenes.




3. No Country for Old Men (2007)

Instead of reporting to the police, Moss decided to take that much money for himself. This makes a psychopathic killer named Anton Chigurh, chasing Moss. This action of chasing becomes tense and inevitable. Anton who is a cruel psychopath, against the clever Moss.




4. Requiem for a Dream (2000)





A story about some drug addicts who are related to each other. Everyone must have dreams and hopes of their own. But, what happen if you think that drugs are the way to reach those dreams? Is that something right? The film will tell how their dreams slowly fade into nightmares when drugs take over their lives. A destructive mental ending and tends to be bleak, but it is appropriate to talk about the topic being discussed.




5. Scarface (1983)





Tony Montana is a Cuban immigrant trying to change his fortune by going to America. Tony is an ambitious, persistent, and hard worker. There Tony started trying to achieve success by becoming a drug dealer. Not just being an ordinary drug dealer, but Tony is trying to take over a drug mafia cartel. But when the greed blinds his eyes, everything becomes a mess.




6. Black Swan (2010)





Nina (Natalie Portman) is a very obsessed ballet dancer. She lives with an equally obsessive ballerina mother. Nina has a rivalry with another ballet dancer named Lily (Mila Kunis) and they compete very tightly. As time went on, his rivalry and friendship with Lily suffered many conflicts and began to come into contact with the dark side of the real Nina.

Actually there is only one scene that shows the consumption of drugs and alcohol. But the whole movie will describe the sensation of "high" just like any other drug film.




7. City of God (2002)





Tells the story of two boys who grew up in the harsh neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. One is a photographer, one is a drug dealer. Actually the whole story is simple enough, but the plot is not boring and you'll be stunned for 130 minutes. The impression of this film looks very real about the children who lived in Brazil in the 60-80s. Lots of violence to be shown in this film such as rape, robbery, firearms, murder, and all that is done by children.




8. Trainspotting (1996)





Basically this is a movie about children of drug addicts. A wild and unique story, through the nightlife in Edinburgh. Focused on a man named Mark Renton and his attempt to escape heroin addiction. It affects his relationship with his family and friends. In this movie there is also a person named Tommy who never touched the drug but began to experiment out of curiosity.




9. Limitless (2011)





For me, this movie is very cool. It is about a man named Eddie, a writer who is running out of ideas to write a book. One day he met an old friend who already become successful and happy. Eddie was offered a pill called NZT, a drug-like pill that could make Eddie a super genius in an instant. It made him start writing excellent books and make a lot of money through the stock market.

Eddie was determined to achieve something higher, that is becoming a president. He began to gain amazing things in his life, but it also put him in a very dangerous situation.




10. Training Day (2001)





In Los Angeles, the street is ruled by drug dealers. Those who have vowed to enforce the law must violate it for the sake of cleaning the streets. Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) is a veteran drug detective and officer who uses "different" methods to enforce the law. The Training Day movie will tell you about Harris when he trained a rookie detective named Jake Hoyt for 24 hours.

The ethical dilemma arises for Hoyt and the audience as the question arises whether Harris's methods are right or wrong.
