Trainspotting 2.
What an absolute fucking monster of a movie. That movie completely defines the power of cinema for me. You really need to have been there (or closely roundabouts) for the original to truly get this movie. If you have.... for me that's been the best movie of the past decade. Honestly, I left the cinema with hairs on my arms standing and my heart pounding. Some of the lines, the soundtrack, the direction, and that fucking redone "Choose Life" speech just made my adrenaline pound and tears well up in my eyes. So relevant to today, and what's wrong with the world: "Choose Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, spew your bile all over it in the hope that some cunt you've never met before and actually gives a fuck."
Honestly, a powerful movie if you let it, and not walk into it with the expectation and wonder, "if it will be better than the original".
