Requiem for a Dream. Aronofsky is a legend and totally up my alley but this and a couple other films he has done I only have the energy to watch once.
I thought of this one as well. It's my favorite movie I never want to see again.
I, too, remember this one. But it's so long since I've seen it. But every time I consider a re-watch I wuss out.
I'm sure there are others, but in my brainhole this one sure is a headliner for such a question.
What makes it worse for me is there was an old channel 4 advert that kad clips from lots of movies and the names of the movies in the current roster.
I thought the names matched the clips.. and requiem for a dream appeared alongside a film I've not actually identified with a guy shooting over a limo saying something like "death to some thing something and bad cinema"
So a few years later I finally sit down to watch requiem for a dream expecting some weird Hollywood critic (or something)
Kept waiting for that scene until things got really dark and then kind of knew something was amiss.
On the upside: no heroine for me thanks
