If You were in Hell....!

Requiem for a dream

Apparently it was, but you never know with some of the folks around here.

Movies I would want to take with me, if I were in Hell?...

Aha...This is a pretty easy answer for me, so I'll say it outright.

West Side Story--Numero Uno for me--hands down!!


Wizard of Oz
Sound of Music
French Connection

The other three above-mentioned films...in no particular order after that.

Hell Raiser
House Of A Thousand Corpes
Exorcist
IT
Dracula
Rob Zombies re-make of Friday the 13th
Basketball Diaries
All of the saw's
Texas Chain Saw ( the original )

Huh?! I won't argue that you don't like those movies, but you could honestly sit through From Justin To Kelly for eternity, over Blade Runner? Come on! And Spider Man 2 is considered by most to be the best of the trilogy. I think you need to suffer through some more bad movies.

For me this is a toss up between Gigli (2003), Glitter (2001), Burglar (1987) and most movies with Ice Cube.

No. I do believe that you are to list movies that you will suffer through, having to watch them repeatedly, while in hell.

Which Dracula movie do you mean, and please don't give Rob any more ideas. You mean Halloween. Some other ass-hat is remaking Friday the 13th.

Try Batman, the one made in 1966 with Adam West, infact any with Adam West, he would bore me to death in this world, the next world or come to it any world .

That would be Batman: The Movie? It's much more enjoyable than then the more modern films, though I have to admit that I really liked Batman Returns. For those who do like the 'old' Batman, check out Return To The Batcave: The Misadventures Of Adam And Burt.

I can't really think of one, definative worst film that they'd play forever, but Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan or one of Satan's hideous cheap films are sure to be fighting it out for the top spot. I think I'd rather watch a Ben Stiller 'comedy' than any of those.

Requiem for a Dream

This is the movie you couldn't sit through for eternity? But you could stomach say - Who's Your Caddy? in a perpetual cycle of single entendres, one-dimensional stereotypes, tired cliches, and bad one-liners ad nauseum?

I haven't seen Requiem for a Dream, but I've heard a lot about it, and I can totally understand someone not wanting to watch such a depressing, and emotional film until, you know, hell freezes over.

Dude...

Check his favourites list. That will be all.

I'm a tad jealous that I don't get to see it for the first time again.
Over 120,000 people voted it an average of 8.5 at imdb, for better or for worse.

All I'm saying is, your index would need to be pretty thin if Requiem for a Dream is the worst you can come up with. I mean, that's essentially saying: "sure, I'm ok with you playing Chairman of the Board or Cool as Ice forever and ever. Just don't play that 8.5 movie Requiem for a Dream ever again."

Virtually any movie off the IMDb Bottom 100 would be bad to watch.

Besides, if we're talking about graphically confronting films there are definitely way worse films out there than Requiem for a Dream.

No, what I'm saying is even if it's a great film, some people don't want to watch something seriously sad, or whatever, for forever.

You would have to ask undercoverlover why they voted for it. I'm simply saying why I, and others, "may" not want to watch it. Although I already named mine, way back in the thread. I would avoid sh!tty remakes, and gore.

Also, I could care less what those at IMDB think. They're just everyday people, like the rest of us. They also can't get half of their movie quotes right.

Yeah, but honestly, in the lexicon of sad movies, Requiem for a Dream ranks a few thousand down the list of anything profoundly depressing. See it and you'll know what I'm saying, It's more awkward than sad,

I don't put much stock into individual votes, or even single reviews at imdb, but when you're talking about 100k + voters, usually that's a good indication that the average of discerning filmgoers with good taste have spoken. At least, there's been something of a pattern of decent movie ratings found there when numbers are ten thousand or more sound off.

Practically any movie shown over and over again without end, blasting in my face when I can't get away would be hell for me.

Those that have REALLY LOUD gun fights and explosions then dialog in mumbles and whispers is pure hell for me.

Action sequences filmed in the dark so you can't see much of it are hell for me.

Films with no discernible storyline or character you would like and pull for are hell for me.

Movies that are taken from books. Let's say I really enjoyed the book. Let's say I could see while I read them, a great film unfold in my mind. Once the movie is made and it sucks majorly and has NOTHING good about it. Those are hell for me.

So, I'm thinking The Keep.

*gags and runs*

Yeah, I've always wanted to check it out, but with all the movies I still want to own, getting Requiem for a Dream may take a while.

Then again, it may be on On Demand at times. I'll look for it.

I think you're better off not watching it. No, it's not a hell-worthy movie, but it's about three numbers lower than an 8.5.

Batman: The Movie is my favorite comedy.

Hardly a 5. It's a 7 at worst. But if you're...from another time, then maybe it's not the movie for ya.
