Whether we like it or not Hollywood has so much faith in these three ingredients to make a successful blockbuster and somehow it hasn't let them down.*inserts "Don't let me down" by The Chainsmokers ft Daya*
I've curated movies that make use of all of these ingredients with high hopes you don't take them with you into your reality-Don't let me down.
N/B: They're in no particular order as they're all bomb and fire!
American Pie Franchise
American Pie set the standards for all high school movies from the time of its release to great beyond years to come; and although there's no definite use of drug scenes we cannot deny the excessive drinking and partying amongst these teenagers lest I forget the craze and crave for sex.
It shows the raucous and profane exploration of the most desired rite of adulthood, a group of buddies, fed up with their merited status as sexual no-hitters, decide to take action. And their franchise shows how they desired to be better versions of sexual hitters.
It's loud, funny, and wild. So make sure you're with your headphones! You don't want to give the neighbors a wrong idea.
The Great Gatsby
Yes, yes I know. The book might have seemed a little boring but have you tried the movie? Or wondered why themed parties often use the Gatsby concept?
Wow! Boy oh boy. The events thrown by Gatsby for a woman's attention were unusually explosive for their day, with plenty of alcohol and beautiful ladies. Although it's a slow burn but time after time there's an insert of something questionable regarding characters and lifestyle.
Watching the movie also makes your mind open to a lot of questions you can ponder away in your leisure time.
The Hangover Franchise
This group of normal men go insane at a bachelor party, taking untamed adventures beyond boobs and booze, satisfying their guilty pleasures, making new friends along the way, and waking up the next morning with a hangover and regret, but when all is done and dusted, that night becomes one of their best memories together. To be honest, this may be the best on the list because it blends a lot of humor and puzzles. You never know when you become too involved and try to lead them to a missing person.
Love & Other Drugs
It wasn't what I expected, but it somehow lived up to its name and this list the most, starting out with lessons on how to get 'em girls from a broke handsome man's perspective--which all men should not try out as you don't want a huge court case on your neck--it slowly moves into not so legal drugs marketed to people then slowly move into having sex with a Parkinson's patient, which was undoubtedly different from the thousand and one streaks on his badge of all the women he has had.
In a world of fantasy movies, this should be number one.
Wolf of Wall Street
G.O.A.T--that's what this movie is, the greatest of all time. It tackles everything from greed, money, love, sex, and partying, to drugs.
It also makes you wonder whether ingesting little illegal drugs will ignite you to be a better version of yourself professionally. You'll have to watch to the end for an explanation, but that out of the way, this movie gives you an adrenaline rush more than some highly recommended asphalt movies.
