Top 10 Trainspotting scenes
After Danny Boyle confirmed plans for Trainspotting 2 this week, we look back at ten of the best scenes from the original
Renton goes cold turkey
Boyle presents the horror of cold turkey heroin withdrawal in a series of alarming images. Even with the exorcist-necked dead baby and disconcerting Dale Winton cameo, Begbie threatening to "fuckin' kick [the heroin] oot" Renton's system remains the most terrifying aspect of the scene.
The end
The film's ending is pure euphoria with Underworld's trance classic 'Born Slippy' sound tracking Renton's triumphant stroll into the sunset after (spoiler alert – if you've never managed to see this film, that is) he robs his 'friends' blind and finally decides to "Choose life". Or perhaps just blow it all on skag the next day? Roll on 2016 and Trainspotting 2 with the answers.
