Best British Movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2003)

Possible Spoilers!!!!
There are only a few words other than 'brilliant' and 'excellent' that can describe TRAINSPOTTING. Best British Movie Ever. Who can compete?

The cast and crew will never better this stunning movie and they know it. Ewan McGregor's Renton is one of the most unforgettable characters ever to burst onto our screens. It's a shame British Cinema looks damned in hell as all we can churn out is BRIDGET JONES' DIARY (and we have to have an American leading lady for that) and TWO WEEKS NOTICE etc.

So don't choose Hugh Grant poncing around, choose a raw energy never to be recaptured. Choose a funny, tragic, wild, sombre, drugged up masterpiece. Choose a great movie. Choose TRAINSPOTTING.
