This role was made for Matt Dillon...This movie is an exciting yet accurate version of the obstacles and hardships junkies face. Matt Dillon played his role as leader, Bob, amazingly. And he did it looking pretty darn handsome;) also the other actors and actresses who partook in the cast made a deep impact in what this film could really be concluded as, a raging success!.Score: 5/5
Great filmPlease don't listen to the morons giving this movie a bad rap. First of all, to the moron who says this is not drug addiction. If your IQ was greater than 50 you'd realize that this film is actually about the life of a drugstore cowboy not his particular addiction. To the guy saying this film is boring, it's a dark comedy, not an action thriller..Score: 5/5

Excellent Movie!!I remember first seeing this in '89 and being completely engrossed with this movie. 1989 was the beginning of the video store industry, before Blockbuster and DVDs. I used to rent this movie over and over and over. In many respects, this movie is a comedy; subtle, but comedic none the less. Drugstore Cowboy is a thought provoking movie with memorable characters, cool dialogue and great cinematography. This was the first movie that showed, in detail, exactly how junkies shoot heroine. Cringe!.Score: 5/5
Stupid and boring.... all in one movie !!With out a doubt...... theee worst movie ever released !! If I could... I'd give it no stars... It's the hippie version of Fargo....... Do yourself a favor.... rent another "real movie"..... take your pick. I'm sure glad I wasted my money and time on this joke.......Score: 1/5
A fantastic movieOne of Dillon's finest performances. I believe this is Heather Graham's first big role. All the darkest aspects of drug addiction are on display here and are shown in interesting, sometimes amusing, fashion. Check this one out..Score: 5/5
Such amazingly realisticThe scene where he shoots up right after the pharmacy robbery in the beggining is phenomenal. He puts in to words the feeling of being on a opiate rush so well it brings tears to my eyes. A classic movie, which has been somewhat forgotten over time, but nevertheless one I will never forget..Score: 5/5
Blast from the PastI remember seeing this in the theatre years ago .Matt Dillion was at his best . It's a dark comedy in a way. Never thought if it as a serious movie . I mean come on listen to the dialogue .Just the same I love this movie . Was like running into a old friend from back in the day. The clothes , music , drugs , cars , the way they talked , William Burroughs as a junkie priest . "No hat on the bed ".We still say that from this movie almost 30 years ago..Score: 5/5
