First half of the movie.  It's kinda generic in that regard, and fits
right in with:

(1)  Boogie Nights
(2)  Blow
(3)  Scarface
(4)  Goodfellas

and any number of other movies, generally about some illicit stuff, that
start out with how great it is then lead you to the inevitable fall and
conclusion.  There are, of course, variants like Basketball Diaries,
where there is an "emerging" from a low near the end.

Uhh, how about Sleepers.  Great movie, but man were there some ups and
downs.

Cheers.

PS:  I may be confused... is Raider asking about the "best movies" that
include highs and lows (all movies, basically, right?) or the best movie
highs and lows?

Also, again in the context of Raider... do testicles ever regrow?
Sleepless in Seattle?  Ma?  Ma, is that you?  Who taught you to Usenet??!?!!
