Matewan is an underappreciated gem, as is Passion Fish.

Strathairn has been one of the greats for a long time (see: Matewan), him and McDormand together mean I’m sprinting to see this.

Strathairn is a master at low-keying it, as proven in his John Sayles films.

The Accused. That’s one I don’t want to see ever again. Jodie Foster was great that film, but the rape scene - with everyone just looking on - was very difficult to sit through.

I immediately thought of Requiem as well as The Accused.  Great movies that I will never watch again.

Trainspotting is very different from Requiem in that Trainspotting allows humor and excitement into its world. Also the soundtrack for Trainspotting can be fun and propulsive at times (I used to jam out to the soundtrack regularly), whereas Requiem’s score is all sadness, tension and intensity. Honestly, Trainspotting…

Trainspotting is so much less intense than Requiem for a Dream. It has some disturbing visuals but it at least has a sense of humor. Requiem is just brutal. 

I’ve deliberately avoided Trainspotting for similar reasons.

Seeing the words “Saoirse Ronan” and “explicit” in the same headline was definitely not the reason I clicked on this article.

Kids was one of the very first movies that came to my mind when I saw the headline.  I saw Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer around the same tame and it absolutely belongs on the list.  Rooker is absolutely mesmerizing and as much as I love his work in general, I don’t think he ever topped that performance.

I opened this article only to write about Requiem, and here you are.

Thank you. I have almost watched that one so many times. The description just sounds so grim, like Leaving Las Vegas grim and I can’t go on that trip again. I don’t need more nightmares.

Shrinking the width of your browser window forces it to act like a normal page. It’s a pain in the ass, but it beats dealing with the endless clicking bullshit.

Requiem is in my top ten list. A really amazing movie. And extremely visceral and tough to watch.

Funny, I just put The Irishman on two nights ago, on a whim - “Did I actually like this movie?” - and wound up watching the entire thing, uninterrupted, after thinking “I’ll turn it off and go to bed around the halfway point.” It is, of course, infinitely better on a second viewing, when you can really focus on the…

It’s a strange wording (the article title, not yours) to say one “enjoyed” a movie like Requiem for a Dream. Respected, moved by, yes, but not really “enjoyed”.

I almost never want to see any movie again. There’s too many out there to repeat them. I have a few like Snatch and a few others many times. But I generally don’t. Even though I seem to have collected them back in the day. But there are times where if I’m bored and I want to watch something easy I’ll put it on again.…

Jesus, can you please not do this slideshow format?? Just make thirty ads appear on the side of the screen or something!

I would be fine living my life without being emotionally destroyed by Requiem for a Dream again. Amazing film but I can’t do that one again. I tried once years later and gave up about 25 minutes in. I could do it if forced, but not willingly. However, if you haven't seen it you should watch it once, but expect…

The thing that bugs me about these sorts of films is that they assume that [historical figure x] must have had some sexual preference to begin with. It’s the putting them in a box, and reckoning that they must’ve been either straight or gay, and without direct evidence, it just seems like so much wishful thinking or a…
