I thought it was excellent, but I shared your sentiments right after seeing it. I've relented a bit, though. I think I'd give it a repeat viewing at some point.

One of my favorites and a movie that should be shown in schools to serve as an anti-drug message.

One of my least favorite movies ever. Except for the naughty parts.

The sex is not the primary footage I'd want to show them. It's the drug sequences that I'd want them to see.

I've never seen this. I may give it a rent once the Blu-ray is released.

Altering/censoring anything goes against everything I believe in.

Rental is the way to go. You won't want to revisit it often, if at all.

I had never thought about it until this thread, but it hit me that I picked up the DVD years ago after seeing the movie the first time and I have never once put it in my player. I still remember it well, and can vividly picture a number of scenes, it's just not something you want to watch over and over. After realizing that, the Blu-Ray is a definite bargain bin title for me. I can wait years until this is dirt cheap if necessary.

I've watched this movie 2-3 times in the last five years or so, I basically only watch it when it comes up in conversation and someone else wants to watch it. I think i'm gonna keep my DVD until the BR is under $10.

I saw it for the first time a little over a month ago. I'd watch it again, but with someone who hasn't seen it before.

Re: Requiem for a Dream: 9/8/09
Extremely depressing but a film that still draws me in everytime I watch it because it's so well made, acted, and directed.

I'm on the fence about picking this up on Blu.
