And really, you'd rather watch Cheech and Chong? I'd rather have a prostate examination than endure that crap.
Up in Smoke was awesome, stupidly hilarious and well deserving of it's cult status.

All the other Cheech and Chong movies range from mediocre to mind blowingly terrible.

Yeah, he's british and we're not.

One film I don't understand why people like so much is Requiem for A Dream. Yeah I know it's totally gripping and ****, but it's really not something I would watch again, I think it's ****ing terrifying.

I also dislike A Clockwork Orange quite a bit, but I was pretty young when I saw it, and there was too much tits in it for my taste.
Oh man, you shot down 3 of my faves at once.

Eh, Requiem for a Dream is indeed very disturbing and terrifying but it's so compelling to watch both on a visual level and story level, I love f*cked up movies like that.

And again, Cybill Sheppard was my least favorite thing about Taxi Driver, whenever she's in a scene without DeNiro that's the only time the film stalls for me.

Technically, most of us are elitists here. So we should all be smoking Newports, I guess. Only I smoke Camel Turkish Silvers...nothing compares.

Requiem for a dream gave me a headache after fourty minutes, I reckon I might be able to sit through all of it if I wasn't stone cold sober but other than that, meh.

It's pretty hard hitting, but it's like a train wreck, emotionally devastitating but I can't pull away from watching it.

It's one of the most visually stunning films I've ever seen, a great cast and it has an awesome score (which I noticed has been used in a lot of trailers and stuff).

Aronofsky is a fantastic director in general.

Bored the arse off me.

Hal Hartley films bore me to death. Why is he so revered amongst the cult indie crowd?

Every "feel-good" movie.

I generally find them depressing as heck.

I think I saw half of this. On the CW. Wasn't sure what to make of it, turned it off. Maybe it's better from the beginning and not edited-for-TV.
