Donnie Darko or Fight Club?

Fight Club
No question.
Not my favourite move but pretty close.

Fave?
Requiem for a dream - the most awesome film I have ever seen.anybody else seen it?

ive seen that,it was good but i dont think it was the best film ever.Elenn Bursten and that refridgerater segment was awesome,but then there is Jennifer Connely with some other girl “working” for drugs,sad.

after that movie i think its funny that she is the girlfriend in the HULK coming out today.think of all the kids that are going to see the Hulk only to grow up and see her in Requiem… :astonished:

im pretty sure the this movie was directed by the same guy that did “PIE” if you havent seen PIE get it.get it now!

Yes, that’s true. My mother and a good friend both recommended Pi very highly. I thought it was boring and unoriginal. I was very disappointed. :frowning:

well I grew up knowing Jennifer Connely as Cliff’s girlfriend in the rocketeer. I’ve heard good things about requem, but I doubt it can top Donnie Darko.

CHUT UP!

I liked Requiem more than Pi but i still liked Pi. I remember i watched requiem at a friends house but i watched pi sometime during march this year when i was in the hospital after getting my apendix taken out. that may have someting to do with it.

My fave? Actually is Donnie Darko. Suprising that this thread came up about it.

i just saw Donnie Darko

it was good,but i think i’ll take fight club as my choice.

the two movies are completely differant,in F-club Ed Norten is B-Pitt but in D-Drako Frank is another person entirely so what is the similarity here…?!

i,ll take F-club souly for the part where B,Pitt is throwing bags of lypo sucked fat over the fence at E,Norten.

P.S. for those at home who are keeping score,Yes D-Darko is another movie that Drew Barimore sucks in… :smiley: a totem pole could show more emotion

Yeah, I saw pi after watching requiem, I liked requiem better. On the dvd I have it has an interview with the guy who wrote it, he is not the sort of person you would expect to write such a novel - hes a ‘nice’ old man, a little demented, but not the sort of guy youd think would know about this stuff.

But yes, Darren Aronofsky(director of pi and requeim) is a damn fine director, one of the best.

And I know the scene where she was ‘working’ to pay for the drugs was shocking, but what is even sadder is that is the reality for a lot of people. I think Aronofsky successfully captured her experience of it, rather than the audience just watching these things happen like in so many other movies. I think the reason it is so shocking is because Aronofsky allows us to epthasise with the character a hell of a lot.

well,yeah she’s gritting her teeth the whole time.she’s hateing it,but her lover isnt realy doing any better with that life sized hole in his arm… :astonished:

A hole the size of life? dang that is huge.

Does this involve the exchange of bodily fluids? :wink:

i forgot to mention in my thoughts on page two that the D-Darko sound track was really good,even the stangely used Tears for Fears tune.

to bad the movie had so many loose ends though.

Well i thought using Tears for fears was excellent. the movie was set in the eighties for one. Plus the “Head over Heals” scene is one of my favs in that movie.

“Will you still be working at the Yarn Barn? Because i hear that that’s a good place to raise children.”

I didn’t like Requiem for a Dream all that much. It was so depressing. I felt so sorry for the guy who got his arm amputated and his mother. Jennifer Connely and the Wayans brother weren’t all that bad off. Jennifer seemed almost pleased with all the money she had made “working”, and the Wayans brother just missed his mom. I don’t think I really understood the importance of the telvision show about the “juice.”

I liked Donnie Darko and Fight Club better than Requiem for a Dream, but Donnie Darko the best.

Because we’re going off topic some, I’d like to add that Memento is another thinking movie that I really enjoyed.

You said that Donnie Darko has lots of loose ends. If you watch the deleated scenes with commentary it explains a whole lot more.

In many ways I liked the loose ends in Donnie Darko, gives you stuff to ponder afterwards.

And some of them are explained? Bah, that just means I’m going to have to go buy the DVD, damnit. :stuck_out_tongue:

I watched Memento…but that movie has absolutely no point to it, it seems like it was only made so people’s heads could be filled with the F word.

I like momento alot, whether or not it had a point, I thought it was good. I also didnt think there was much swearing compaired to alot of other newer movies.

Not alot of curse words? dude that movie probably has the most curse words in any movie ever…every other word is a curse word!

you havent seen many kevin smith movies have you? those are loaded, and I cant think of anything else right now.

Glenn Gary Glenn Ross had so many F-bombs i coulnt belive it…totally awesome movie though.
