Nightmare- 8/10
Pulp Fiction- 10/10
Life Aquatic- 9/10

Best Scene: Waltz for a night

Best Line: After that December, I'd say almost zero. But we're not real anyway, right? We're just, uh, characters in that old lady's dream. She's on her deathbed, fantasizing about her youth. So of course we had to meet again.

[AngelDust06]

Reqieum was awsome...Great choice...

[TylerDurden182]

Requiem For A Dream- 10/10
Before Sunset- 8/10

[blk_flower]

never seen either

[ChemicalRomance]

Requeim for a Dream is in my top 15, a true masterpiece. (10/10)

Few movie experiences I've ever had or will have jarred me like the first time I watched Requiem. As the movie progressed I could have sworn the walls were closing in on me as the characters dove deeper into addiction and the problems that plagued them. I actually went outside after for air once during it and when it was finally finished. Truly heavy stuff.

[Hannibal21]

I don't like as Requiem of a Dream as much as I used to, but it still is a powerful, unforgettable film with some of the most haunting final 30 minutes I have ever seen. Ellen Burstyn's performance is the best performance I've seen of this decade. 9/10

Before Sunset is a fantastic sequel that surpasses the original IMHO. Hawke and Delpy are just so natural together. 9/10

[Sigur509]

8. Lost In Translation

At least you don't set claim to the suspense, unlike Chemmy o'er there whose ruined the surprise on numerous occasions.

Since I last rated this, I rewatched it (twice!) and have added one extra point to it. The humor, script, and characters all seemed even more fascinating both those times. I absolutely love this film! Entering my top 100 for sure.

[blk_flower]

I found the royal Tenenbaums funny because I wasn't watching it but whenever I would glance at it there would be a new actor everytime it was just funny.
