The TV films and the stage show
Boyle made two TV films in 2001. Strumpet has no US page on JustWatch at all, so there is no streaming, free or rental option to point to. Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise streams with a subscription on Prime Video, and free with a library card on Kanopy.
National Theatre Live: Frankenstein (2011), with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller top-billed, has no US streaming, free or digital rental option listed.
Actors who keep coming back
JustWatch’s top-billed cast lists put Ewan McGregor in four of these films (Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, A Life Less Ordinary and T2 Trainspotting), Jonny Lee Miller in three (Trainspotting, National Theatre Live: Frankenstein and T2 Trainspotting) and Cillian Murphy in two (28 Days Later and Sunshine).
For a first pass, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours cover a lot of ground. Our 28 Years Later timeline explainer connects the two zombie films, our 28 Years Later ending explainer covers how the sequel finishes, and our list of movies like Sunshine goes further into space-mission horror.
