4. Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
Drugs: Marijuana, Cocaine, LSD, Acid etc. Arguably the most drug-fuelled entry in this list, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas takes drug glamorisation to a whole new level. Ranging anywhere from marijuana to cocaine, via the lucidity of LSD and the psychedelia of acid, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas takes every drug in its repertoire and thrusts it onto the audience. Described by many as axiomatically pro-drugs, the film is actually an embodiment of the worst America has to offer; an obsessed state of visual vulgarity. Though, of course, there is little time to appreciate this metaphor when Johnny Depp is indulging in every popular drug there is to be had for 120 minutes.
