Movies Best Exaggerated WD Scenes

[antigonemuse]

And the Nominees are

Ewen McGregger - Trainspotting and the dead baby scene

Leo Dicapprio - Basketball Diaries - crawling on floor with drool / vomit on face; between mattress and box spring to keep chills away

Frank Sanatra - Man With The Golden Arm - seizing on bed reaching up to the heavens for mercy

Ewen McGreggor - Again - Trainspoting - Worst Toilet in Scotland Scene - Diving into shit and coming out clean - Opium supositories - custom designed for you fuckin neids, bring ya doon gradually; for all the good they have done me I may have well shuved them up my arse... (did you know that mikey forrester, the dealer who sold him those in the movie was Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting - he was also the janitor sweeping up at the begining of The Acid House)

now i cant think of any more ...

help a gal out

we need a winner folks....

Leo Dicapprio - Basketball Diaries - crawling on floor with drool / vomit on face; between mattress and box spring to keep chills away



this is, hands down, the winner. i thought the stuff'd in a mattress scene was to show how badly he was shaking - stuff him in there to keep him still - it only makes the w/d action that much worse!

[Opiyum]

Yeah definately the Leo scene.

I thought the dead baby scene in Trainspotting ad some aspects that were acurate. The way that he tore through his bedsheets, tossinf back and forth was pretty spot on. I've never actually hallucinated but that's something that is hard to get across in a movie I would think. I've been sick and had moments were I would slip into sleep (though it really couldnt be considered sleep) for a few minutes (at least it seemed that long) and have a terrible nightmare. The point is I would lose conciousness for such a short period that the nightmare would seem to have occured in my bedroom....Proving to be difficult to get across in words too....anyhow I was laughing my ass off during that scene in Basketball Diary's. No telling if it was more the fault of the director or the actor. I guess a combination of both...

The movie "Rush" with Jennifer Jason Leigh.

[Bastian]

Basketball Diaries is such an awesome movie, I saw it like 4 times.
It showed drug addicts (especially, heroin/morphine etc) at their most desperate...opiates at their most destructive levels.

You got it man. What was that guy on and where do I get some?

[antigonemuse]

well, he was dead, and didnt know it.... Yeah... he died in the war... after being given large amount of LSD in his food supply. He platoon killed itself off. He died that day, and never knew it....

yeah, gimme a little of that...

LOU are you my angel....

Great flick... no WDs here though

[southernbelle]

How about Sid and Nancy? Gary Oldman did a great job as Sid.

[dorje]

DeCaprio takes it for the most exaggerated WD scene. The whole "Ma...It's your son...Ma" scene is bad acting at its best.

I realize that wasn't a WD scene. That was just my morbid sense of humor. I may have missed the mark on that one. It's one of those movies to watch and ask yourself, What would happen while you are in the process of dying? Pretty intense scenes in that one. Way creepier than any horror movie I've ever seen. Anyways didn't mean to sidetrack your thread. I meant for that to be somewhat humorous.

[Opiyum]

Yeah... Well your just not funny Zwoof. Infact some would call you outright stupid....I know I would. Take a shower then go screw a lamppost.

Nice talking to you. Bunnies and happy faces all the time.

I'll admit, that one was kinda out there. Anti is good at pointing that out. She's allowed, especially in her own thread.

Shut yur face anyway opinator, at least I'm gettin some, even if it is a lamppost. I'm getting a shower now, fuck off nerd.

i dont think my post (above) said anything about sidetracking the thread. I was commenting on an awsome movie, and a twisted scene from it. and trying to answer ZK post regarding what was goig on in the pic. hey ZW... its okay hun... ty for sharing, great movie to be reminded of. Its a part of my perrsonal collection actually. Do you like floor lamp with or without tassels? Do you unplug it first... Hmmmm... to may questions.

Lou was the Chiropractor in the movie, he was an angel trying to help through to the other side. The rest were demons trying to keep him from "crossing".

[Buckshot]

I forget the name at the moment, but the movie where the main guy gets an infection on his arm but continues to shoot into it, and gets so infected that he gets his arm amputated while in severe WD in jail.

His mom meanwhile is taking uppers to loose weight thinking shes about to go on a game show.

Whats that movie called? Thats it Requiem For a Dream

It also has a Florida dope dealer who eats oranges all the time.

[applesauce]

Leonardo DiCaprio is good, but I thought that Basketball Diaries sucked. I read the book years before, and I guess it spoiled the movie. It is one of those "the book is much better" movies, only the book is MUCH MUCH better.

Jacob's Ladder is one of my favorite movies. I like kinda obscure cult horror films (Bloodsucking Freaks, Slaughtered Vomit Dolls, Subconscious Cruelty etc) but Jacob's Ladder did such a good job with the creepy effects - the heads flipping back and forth and stuff - wow what a good flick. Now I have to dig it out of the pile and toss it in.

[moviebuff927]

The movie "Rush" with Jennifer Jason Leigh.

I always thought that scene when she and Jason Patric go in that black dealer's house and he Patric shoots up. Then that black dude says that he's the first white boy that didn't throw up after shooting. Then Jennifer shoots up for the first time in her life and doesn't throw up...BS but still a damn good movie...

Requim for a Dream... Same dude who did Pie.... Both awsome flicks...

[SpecialGuy69]

I really didn't think b-ball diaries was exaggerated at all. Maybe I just haven't seen it in a while. But whenever someone asks me what w/d's are like, or how bad they are, that's always the first thing I bring up.

[Papa Verine]

Requim for a Dream... Same dude who did Pie.... Both awsome flicks...

Great movie! It almost makes you NOT want to do heroin anymore. almost...

[vicious86]

There was a really good heroin flick with ben stiller who played the writer of alf the old tv show where he was deeply involved in the scene. It was a really good portrait and a true story to boot The movie was called PERMANENT MIDNIGHT check it out here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120788/
I would highly reccomend this flick. It about jerry stahl, A really great hollywood righter.

[insaneike]

The best I can recall is The Basketball Diaries...

That films is good and bad.

permanant Midnight is an absolute must see. Funny as hell when he's smokin readdy rock with that guy in the skyscraper. That whole bathroom scene aint too bad either. Extremly far fetched tho with that big purple fuckin thing.

[pinion]

Out of all the movies listed in this thread, I thought Requiem for a Dream was the most realistic and hit the hardest (except the thing with the eyeballs dilating/constricting the wrong direction - WTF??) All of the other movies I can watch, but I don't enjoy re-watching Requiem - that movie was heavy and I don't enjoy it and I'm really not a wuss when it comes to movies..

Trainspotting kicked ass. The toilet scene was classic, any real junky laughs at that scene 'cause the desperation is so realistic..

[youwonhundred]

Somehow, I missed seeing Trainspotting, so I downloaded it today. Fucking awesome film!!

Most of the time, I download a movie, watch it, and delete it. This time, I'll be keeping it, to watch repeatedly. Just one more thing I have learned since joining the 'phile.

[applesauce]

I only delete downloaded movies when they are a bad copy. I have half a dozen differen DiVX-compatible DVD players in the house, one on every TV (two on my TV, because some of the weird DiVX variants aren't compatible with one or the other player sometimes).

My "disc collection" is in the thousands, most of it DVDs that have four or five full movies on them. Stacks of books with 200 discs in each one. Full collections of TV series, everything from Batman and Green Acres (existential shows from the 60s) to 24 and Northern Exposure and House, Twin Peaks - it doesn't matter if it is "out" on DVD yet, if it isn't someone has made a digital recording from HDTV satellite and edited out the commercials and distributed it.

It is a sickness, I know. Seriously, I should see a shrink. I don't collect anything else, just 0's and 1's burned onto blank DVD media. But if it is in the theaters or the video store or on TV and it is the least bit interesting to me, I have it. Same with music, every kind that I like - from old time banjo and dulcimer music to RAC punk and Black Circle metal (racist satanic nazi metal like Burzum and Mayhem crack me up) to classical and bagpipe music. Thousands and thousands of albums. My collection makes Blockbuster look like chumps (that doesn't take much, I had Blockbuster beat years ago).

Sorry for the off-topic - I just saw you (youwonhundred) say you usually delete movies and amusingly enough, it set something off in me probably not unlike a junkie watching someone blow a pile of heroin off of their hand and into the air. Actually that is something I'm going to have to think about for a while, time for that self-introspection hat, thanks youwonhundred! :)

[lucifus]

what was ben stiller smoking in permanent midnight?

[vicious86]

what was ben stiller smoking in permanent midnight?



No smoking just snorting and shooting. Ill never forget the diludid pill bottle filled with pills and water.

[alowishus]

Don't know how true it is but, was told that Nick Nolte in The Good Thief, used all kinds of opi to get into the roll of a junkie that had to go through w/d's.

The shot wasn't floating babies or mattress stuffin' but it sure looked real. Good flick too.

[Nile_dancer]

Somebody else here said that Basketball Diaries was a better book than movie. I agree completely. Also, the sequel was good: The Downtown Diaries. It's actually really funny...

One more tidbit. The author of these books is Jim Carroll, who had a New Wave band in the early 80's. Their big hit was something like " People Who Died," about his friends who died (many from OD's) Maybe some of you out there remember it. Good album actually... but I'm dating myself.

Oh, for my money, Requiem for a Dream kicked butt.

[alowishus]

Yup, that dated you, but it was a good song. Man haven't heard that in yr.

"....these are the people that have died, that have died..."
