List of Educational Drug Films

         


Drug films are films that depict drug usage, either as a major theme or as a few memorable scenes. Drug cinema ranges from the ultra-realistic to the utterly surreal; some movies are unabashedly pro- or anti-drug, while others are less judgmental.

The drugs most commonly shown in films are cocaine, heroin, LSD, cannabis (see Stoner film) and methamphetamine.


There is extensive overlap with crime movies, which are more likely to treat drugs as plot devices to keep the action moving. Some movies are mistakenly labeled as "drug films" due to their surreal nature, including 2001: A Space Odyssey, Waking Life and Yellow Submarine.

The following is a partial list of drug films and the substance involved:
