  1. Trainspotting -- Mark Renton
    ``Trainspotting'' is about Renton and his buddies, Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) and Spud (Ewen Bremner), who live lives of stealing, getting high and sleeping. It's not a hopeless existence. They are all capable of getting off drugs, and occasionally they do.
  2. Trainspotting -- Irvine Welsh
    Trainspotting is a singular sensation, a visionary knockout spiked with insight, wild invention and outrageous wit. Sure it's easy to mainline mind-numbing. American-made summer junk like Eraser or Striptease. But doing so can't match the thrill of watching as Trainspotting, from Irvine Welsh's 1993 cult novel, declares war on the dull gravity of social realism. There's incendiary daring in it, a willingness to go for broke that carries you over the rough spots. Director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew Macdonald and doctor-turned-screenwriter John Hodge have upped the controversial ante on Shallow Grave, the black comic thriller that marked the thirtysomething team's hit 1995 debut.
  3. Delroy Lindo -- Spike Lee

  4. Black Hawk Down (2001) -- Ridley Scott
    PLOT: Ridley Scott's "Black Hawk Down" conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario. With exacting detail, the film re-creates the American siege of the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993, when a 45-minute mission turned into a 16-hour ordeal of bloody urban warfare. Helicopter-borne U.S. Rangers were assigned to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Muhammad Farrah Aidid, but when two Black Hawk choppers were felled by rocket-propelled grenades, the U.S. soldiers were forced to fend for themselves in the battle-torn streets of Mogadishu, attacked from all sides by armed Aidid supporters. Based on author Mark Bowden's bestselling account of the battle, Scott's riveting, action-packed film follows a sharp ensemble cast in some of the most authentic battle sequences ever filmed. The loss of 18 soldiers turned American opinion against further involvement in Somalia, but "Black Hawk Down" makes it clear that the men involved were undeniably heroic.
