Trainspotting

This knockabout heroin-addict ensemble piece put Danny Boyle and Ewan McGregor on the map and proved a shot in the arm for 1990s British cinema.
The Hours

Nicole Kidman won an Oscar as novelist Virginia Woolf in this complex drama exploring Woolf’s novel Mrs Dalloway through the experiences of women from different eras and places.
