Now, That's How You Open a Movie! #2

If ever a film summed up a period of my life it's this one. 20, single, out every night, gigging, drinking - essentially being young. Then along comes Trainspotting. It's as if it were made for me.

"For a vegetarian, Rents, you're a fuckin' evil shot!"

The mere image of a young Ewan McGregor running down the street, chased by security guards to the ferocious beat of 'Lust to Life' by Iggy Pop evokes memories that will last a lifetime. The great thing about this film is that its lasted the test of time, its a product of its day but it's still funny, relevant and glorious.

Behold the junkie king that is Renton.
