Hey, has anyone ever taken the same train route that Renton&Co. took in Trainspotting? I love how the station is almost non-existant and just drops them off in the wide-open highlands. My tourguide told me how to get there once but I've long since forgotten...http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif

yeah fantastic film .............needle and the damage done :rolleyes:........fantastic .I think Danny Boyle is one of our best, most original and most underrated directors, even if he went a bit wayward with "The Beach". Made a great little film last year called "millions" which seemed almost to go unnoticed, I don't think people knew what to make of it. It's almost a "children's film" but it's great stuff.

Yeah, I totally think Danny Boyle is one of the best...and I really loved 28 Days Later as well. Has anyone heard about an upcoming film of his, with Cillian Murphy...something about the sunshine...??
