Get High!

Cinema and drugs, perhaps are the one of the most famous duets ever, and since movies picture both reality and fiction, drugs had to be discussed and viewed extensively in various movie pictures through wide range of years, and one can easily relate the amount of drug scenes and movies at a certain year with the real numbers of drugs addicts and the size of drugs business.


Pulp Fiction (1994)
Pulp Fiction has become an iconic movie

How about one of the most important movies of the 90's?! "Pulp Fiction" is certainly one remarkable movie by the controversial director "Quentin Tarantino", maybe the movie is not solely about drugs, but the scene when "Uma Thurman"  sniffs a big amount of cocaine and the goes through an over dose condition and her heart stops, we can never forget when "John Travolta" is debating with his friend about injecting her with the adrenalin shot, when he suddenly almost stabs her in the heart with the shot bringing her back to life.


The Famous Scene


  The Movie Soundtrack


Goodfellas (1990)
One of the most shocking and realistic gangsters' movies ever

We saw behind the scenes of the gangster life and lived every small detail from the early life till the sad fall. Director "Martin Scorsese" filmed one of his most recognizable movies in 1990, talking about the mob life in the 70's and 80's, and how some brat kids evolved to be drug lords later, picturing all the drama, violence, action, happiness and even disappointment of the characters in the movie, simply, the rise, then process and finally the fall of the drug business of a group of people, and how it changed their lives forever, and even ended lives for others.


Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Shocking, thrilling and can't be missed 

It's the new millennium, and director "Darren Aronofsky" is giving us a heads up that the upcoming years will be amazing when it comes to movies, great shooting, plot, acting, directing and definitely an incredible soundtrack that will stick forever in your head.
All these elements are used to carry the horrible and destructive effects of different kind of drugs, from cocaine to diet pills, on a young man along with his best friend and girlfriend, and on his mother as well, and how their lives are turned upside down, great movie with a very twisted end, worth every second of watching for sure.
   Almost unbelievable full orchestra soundtrack
