Sid And Nancy (1986)

Like the description on IMDB.com, this is a morbid biographical movie about the Sex Pistols Bassist Sid Vicious (Gary Oldman) and his dangerous relationship with Nancy Spungen (Chloe Webb). It follows their dangerous paths with drugs and the lifestyle of being an infamous couple. The part of this story that always gets me is; Did Sid kill Nancy? It's a question we'll always ponder and assume that he was that messed up. This to me is a ugly movie, but it hits the nail on the head as to how ugly the lifestyle is. Gary Oldman (Batman Begins) does an excellent job in this film and I believe this was the first time America came into contact with this great actor. The movie also features my least favorite person in the whole world, that being the very troubled Courtney Love. Does life imitate art? This movie also has Xander Berkeley (Year One), British actor Perry Benson (Rough Cut), Sy Richardson (Surviving Christmas), and Biff Yeager (White Oleander). I give this movie an B+, which I could have given this an A-, but I'm not a big fan of The Sex Pistols or Courtney Love.
