#194. Traffic
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0a/Traffic2000Poster.jpg
Dir: Steven Soderbergh
Genre: Drama, Crime
Year: 2000

Traffic is the most honest drug movie of its scale ever made. Nothing is glorified, nothing is pontificated, nothing is fearmongered. It's an appropriately complex, layered movie about a complex, layered problem. That's an extremely rare feat for mainstream Hollywood.

For those who don't know, Traffic essentially follows the various intersecting people involved in the Drug War: the politicians, the cartels, the DEA agents, and the users. My favorite of the stories is easily Benicio del Toro, who rightfully got an Oscar for the role. But, if nothing else, Traffic is worth watching just to see Eric Foreman freebasing coke as he approaches orgasm.
