The Film: Choose life… From that pulse-pounding, endlessly admired opening, Boyle's pitch-black comic adaptation is one of the most famous Brit-flicks ever made.

The Role: Our anti-hero narrator Renton, determined to get his life back on track - as soon as he can give up heroin. Before that, he'll deal with life, death, sex and who does the best Sean Connery impersonation.

A career-defining, BAFTA nabbing role that's pitch-perfect.

Tackle Out? Twice in one film. The McGregor penis show is on the road.
