Antonio, help me out on this one please.

I THINK the name of the movie was Cat Balou. I THINK the actors name was James Coburn. I loved the way he and his horse got drunk together.

Drug wise? Angelina Jolies portrayal of Gia.

One of my favorites is Mickey Rourke in Barfly. That is a great movie

DREAMSOFSEA...Oscar-winner Lee Marvin starred as the drunk and his evil twin/lookalike in CAT BALLOU. I can see why you'd confuse him with James Coburn though, as they look and act somewhat similar.

<perk> drugs?!? Yes please!

Anyway, my favorite drug addict couple is Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly in Requiem For a Dream!

I also liked Erika Christensen in Traffic!

[Danny L]

Steve Buscemi in THE WEDDING SINGER.

Bluto from Animal House is the best drunk ever. As well as the reason you go to college.

Yeah, during my freshman year, my biggest preoccupation (aside from getting laid) was going to house parties on weekends and getting wasted. Ah the memories. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Leonardo DiCaprio in The Basketball Diaries.I hate the guy(DiCaprio,not Carroll),but that was the only work of his that I liked.

[James Logan]

Nic Cage in LEAVING LAS VEGAS.

[beachblanketmomma]

Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOLF?

Then I'm thinking of a movie...help me here...with Jennifer Jason Lee and Jason Patrick as undercover agents who end up on drugs...what is the name??? Anyway, very realistic portrayals. It amazes me how some actors just seem soooo stoned...you wonder if they used drugs when making the scenes.

Floyd (Brad Pitt) from True Romance.

[Alexis]

Slater from Dazed and Confused! And all the drunks in SubUrbia - especially Tim - he rocks!
Best drug-addict performance: Ellen Burstyn in Requiem For A Dream.

[dicaprio_travolta_man]

Best Drunk Performance: Ed Harris as Jackson Pollock in "Pollock" (8/10)

Best Drug Addict Performabce: Leonardo Dicaprio as Jim Carrol in "The Basketball Diaries" (9/10)


- Ed Harris did a fantastic job as the booze driven doomed painter. And Leo Dicaprio deliverd one of the best performances I have ever seen as the drug happy basketball star.

[The Dude]

I thought the best performance of a stoner was Brad Pitt from TRUE ROMANCE, which someone already mentioned.

[Raw Chili]

Best Drunk goes to Nick Cage from leaqving las vegas, and best addict goes to jared leto from requiem.

*********************************************
Mickey Rourke was great in Barfly. My favorite though is Bobcat Goldthwait in 'Shakes the Clown' as an alcoholic birthday party clown.
