#1 - Half Baked; #2 - Pineapple Express! Dramatic ones usually leave me with little sympathy. And why would I enjoy watching these people throw their lives away? I'd rather watch a biopic about someone famous who also happened to have some drug problems, e.g. The Doors, etc.

Indeed!

It's the only film I'm aware of that details the pro's and con's of smart drugs. NZT-48 anyone?

The novel it's based on, should be required reading.
