Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: [narrating]
"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a focking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of focking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fock you are on Sunday night. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing focking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, focked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

focking A!


by far one of THE most under rated films of ALL TIME!

Cool movie, classic too.

I think Run Lola Run was by far a bigger cult hit. One of the most popular films and film characters of all time (Lola Rennt) and yet many don't recognize the film.

Here's a poster from the movie:
