Blow (2001) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi and is one of my favorite drug movies all time. The storyline showcases an American who was really good at struggling and keeping his mouth shut about his connections. He ends up doing so well that Pablo Escobar contracts with him to smuggle drugs into the United States just as crack/cocaine was becoming a major thing. Everyone makes more money than they can imagine. How long can the American maintain this lifestyle as his life expands into a wife and family? This movie is directed by Ted Demme (Life) and stars Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), Paul Reunbens (Peewee Herman), Penelope Cruz (Vanilla Sky), Bobcat Goldwait (Police Academy) and Rachel Griffiths (The Rookie). The storyline for this is incredible. It's hard to believe it was based on true events. The settings and characters were so fascinating and the writing was really smart and showed the evolution of the characters over time. The cast couldn't have been better selected and everyone delivers an A+ performance. This is an easy 10/10 and must see.
