Requiem For A Dream

As long as we're talking about older movies, I think Requiem For A Dream deserves a nod for being a very high impact film. It mixes visuals, sound, and lighting to achieve a mind numbing experiance. If you enjoyed Basketball Diaries and Trainspotting then you owe it to yourself to see this film. It pulls no punches, has excellent acting, and it's just visually stunning. The score is haunting and the overall "feel" will stick to you, for better or for worse, well after the end credits have rolled.

Darren Aronofsky is a natural. His first 2 films, Pi and Requiem, took bold steps and have seeded a legacy that needs to be built upon. His next film defiinately looks full of promise to me, but I admit he's turned me into a lifetime fanboi...

it should be noted that if you havent seen it, make sure to see the directors cut. it is much more graphic than the original.

Pi was hilarious, when Jason Biggs got caught whacking off I couldn't stop laughing. And that Shannon Elizabeth is quite an actress, I think she's going places!

[hide=.]Sorry, I'm just being an asshole. I have seen Pi and I enjoyed it. I wasn't aware that the same guy did Requiem for a Dream.[/hide]

I've seen it a dozen times and it still drains me to watch this film.

Requiem for a Dream pretty much tops my list of favorite movies of all time.

Check out the website, it's completely fucked up.

Jennifer Connelly is/was hot. That makes any movie she's in watchable. Overall, it's a great drug movie.

Best quote from the movie:

ASS TO ASS!

I like the Donnie Darko site a lot.
Hi-Res has done a shitload of high quality, innovative Flash websites.

Make sure to double your daily dose of Prosac/Xanax before watching Requiem. It makes Trainspotting look like the Wizard of Oz.
