Which of these movies should I rent?
I'm planning on renting maybe ONE movie this weekend on DVD from Blockbuster or something. Here are the choices, all of which I haven't seen but look to be great:

- Traffic
- Requiem For A Dream
- One Hour Photo

I love movies about drugs and weirdos so they all fit the mold I guess. Which one should it be?

I've only seen Traffic and One Hour Photo and while I think both have their values, I preferred One Hour Photo.

I've seen all 3 and would say go with Requiem For A Dream. Traffic was good, One Hour Photo was boring.

I liked Traffic the best I guess. All three of those movies are kind of unpleasant, but I found Traffic the most entertaining.

BTW, if you haven't seen it, Drugstore Cowboy is about drugs and weirdos and kicks butt on any of those three.

Out of the three, I would go with Traffic. An alternate suggestion-Trainspotting .
