It does have great directing and great acting, but the way you guys are talking about it in this thread I see you as putting it on the level of films like:

Goodfellas
Stand By Me
Good Will Hunting
Boyz N Da Hood
Boiler Room

Very upset that True Romance wasnt on that list Grundy

and propz for listing Stand By Me, I LOVE that movie, such a classic!

I could make a list of 100 movies. I love movies and have seen tons. true romance is one of my favorites and I own it. Quentin tarention is genius and I love all his movies, but I never seen from dusk til dawn. I just made a short lil list off the top of my head. but I think true romance is 100x better than requiem for a dream.

Yeah I think Requiem was great but it doesnt have shit on True Romance I agree. Nothing better than when he gets the advice from "Elvis" and proceeds to visit Drexel, man that scene was AMAZING

true romance has too many good scenes.

Yall wanna see a great drug movie which you probably can relate to. Go rent Home Grown. Great weed movie. Filmed all over Cali. San Fran and where I grew up. Great movie, I think its 100x better than requiem for a dream. it stars billy bob thorton (one of the best) and that dude from studio 54 (another great movie)

No matter what you say, most people who know their shit in film recognize "Requim For A Dream" as a great film and consider it a top notch film...Hell, it's number 54 on the top 250 movies list with an 8.5 rating on IMDB...You might personally not like it, but it's an excellent movie...PeACe

^^^I know its fuckin crazy, I cant stop thinking about this movie lol, take in mind I just watched it for the first time 3 days ago and I watched the ending again tonight, so shit is fresh in my mind. Yeah this movie is excellent, soooo amazingly sad, like I said earlier, at the end when you see Marlon on the bed in the prison and he has the vision of him and his mom as a child, fuck that shit is deep. Fuckin incredible movie, the last 20 minutes is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
