5. Trainspotting (1996)
The definitive cult classic of the 90s, directed by Danny Boyle, made Hollywood property of Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle and Kelly Macdonald. Alexander Armstrong says: "The subject matter is undeniably bleak, but the adaptation kept the humour and urgency of the original book by Irvine Welsh."
