All those movies are about different drugs. I believe this movie is the best one I've seen that depicts meth users.

Not that it's so real, but there is (to me) something crazily true in Alfred Molina's brief and should've been nominated scene as the wealthy, hermetic free baser in "Boogie Nights". That little scene perfectly captures the delusional madness & esoteric quirks that occur simultaneously with some users imho. It remains one of the gold standard scenes of drug madness to me. I never like to use the word brilliant but Molina in that film was brilliant as was that epic scene itself.
