How does a movie with feces-flinging fall within the IMDb top 250? I decided to watch this movie after I'd seen it advertised in numerous places; namely in the top-films list on this 'site. It did retain a quirky, original kind of vibe all the way through; helmed by somewhat unappreciated director Danny Boyle, who has a unique approach to film-making. The 'anti-drugs' message is relatively clear: I suppose this is the embedded message within the film, asking the audience: "Would you like to end up like these people?" I felt the soundtrack and its usage added a redeeming quality to the film but I just don't agree this should be within the top 250.
