You named several good ones. In my experience one of the best that describes the real San Diego meth scene is "Salton Sea" with Val Kilmer

DUNE

I'm serious. Think about it, the whole movie centers on a huge "Drug war" for control of Arrakis/Dune and the drug called "Spice". Just like in real life Those who control Spice/Drugs are some of the most powerful people.....
