I haven't voted yet since i haven't seen "The Fountain". I ordered it yesterday from Amazon so hopefully I'll be getting it soon. Everytime I decide on the other 4 that I have seen i think about how good one of the others were and change my mind to that one, then change my mind back. I would say Wrestler but Requiem is a very close second and I'm sure once i get a chance to watch Black Swan a few more times that will be up there as well. I haven't seen Pi since I bought the dvd when it came out but it was one of my favorite movies of 98.

The Fountain for sure.

The Wrestler is his masterpiece.

finally got to see Black Swan tonight .... brilliant

my rankings

#1 The Fountain
#2 Black Swan
#3 RFAD
tie #4 Pi, The Wrestler ... The Wrestler being a bigger dissapointment than Pi given when it came in his career

1.) The Fountain
2.) Requiem for a Dream
3.) The Wrestler
4.) Pi
5.) Black Swan

just heads up , The Fountain starts on "Watch Instantly" on the 1/1, kinda wish I would have held up buying it, but like Seth said Aronofsky is one of my favorite directors and so far he is 4/4 with me for all the others that i have seen so i probably would have picked it up anyway. I think he's one of the few directors where I own everyone of their movies(once Black Swan becomes available anyway).

Requiem.

I liked Black Swan, hated The Fountain and didn't mind the other two.

Finally saw Black Swan last night. Now I've seen them all. Requiem gets my vote.

I've gotta vote for The Fountain right now since it hit me the most emotionally but Black Swan could overtake it eventually.

Ditto.....But I'll cast a vote when The Wolverine comes around.

lol...personally, I'd like to see wtf DA can do w/ a superhero flick more than what he can do in general..cuz...well...seems like he's doing it the way he wants to do it. And I'd like to see how his style flares w/ the superhero film.

Oh well...watched Black Swan tonight. It falls even below The Wrestler. This movie gets all the accolades while The Fountain gets ignored??? What the fuck?

The Wrestler. Really the only one of his I liked, though I haven't seen Black Swan. I thought The Fountain was a pretentious film on a subject which should provoke modesty.

Aronofsky would be much better if he didn't give into literary and artistic fads. He has a great sense of emotion. The Wrestler didn't need any bullshit; it was an incredible and emotional story. I'd like to see him do more like it.

ETA: I also haven't seen Pi.

After watching Black Swan a little while back....I gotta say that although I am not into ballet at all...as far as the film itself goes....it's right up there with Requiem.

Just caught Requiem for the first time in a while on IFC. The first thing I have to say is that the commercial breaks really suck. Secondly, what an unbelievably depressing movie. It truly boggles my mind how people can fall into drugs. I think pretty much everybody knows that drugs are bad so I just don't understand why anybody would try drugs for the first time and risk falling into an addiction spiral.

Anyway, it's a really good movie. I haven't seen Black Swan yet mainly because the plot just doesn't interest me. Catching Requiem tonight has actually inspired me to watch The Fountain again though. I remember being very intrigued by it but not liking it very much the first time I saw it. Think I'll give it another shot.

I totally agree with this. Although I did like Black Swan and Requiem a whole lot.

I'll be watching Black Swan tomorrow. Some trusted people liked it a whole lot, and it sounded from their comments like he finally managed to successfully adapt artistry to meaning.

I really hope that's true, as he is obviously very talented.
