Requiem for a Dream was a great depiction of drug addiction and the mother's side story was fantastically horrific and the overall tone and such are terrific. However, Fight Club is one of those movies that I can always just throw on when I want to watch a movie but aren't sure what to pick (Trainspotting, The Big Lebowski, and The Hour of the Wolf are a few others in this category). The acting, the grittiness, the fantastic twist, it gets me every time. It's one of those rare cases where the film is better than the book, imo, and gets my vote.
Requiem For a Dream - 0
Fight Club - 1
