1) Magnolia - Haven't seen it
2) Donnie Darko - I'm one of its fans, but I'm not one of those obsessed cult/fan people. It's a hard movie to rent, cuz you really need to watch it a few times. For the most part the soundtrack is great, especially "Mad World" and "The Killing Moon" by Echo and The Bunnymen. There was also another song I liked, but I can't remember it right now. The group may have been "The Church". All 80's music. There aren't a ton of great performances or anything, but Jake does a good enough job, and everyone else does what they need to do, but nothing more. Patrick Swayze's got a pretty "funny" role in it. I'd definitely recommend it, but it's not one of my all-time favorites or anything.
3) Requiem for a Dream - Saw it and liked it a lot, but it's quite disturbing. It's got some scenes that make you wince and wanna' turn away, but I've got a strong stomach so it didn't bother me all that much. The soundtrack for Requiem is
awesome. It was all done by some Greek orchestra whose name I can't recall right now, but it goes with the movie perfectly, and it's very dark, very ominous, and very addictive. I bought the soundtrack a few days after seeing the movie. Ellen Burstyn is awesome in it, but kinda' freaky, lol. She gets [/b]REAL[b] cracked out. Jared Leto was surprisingly good, and I'm surprised I haven't seen him pop up in more stuff since then, cuz I thought his performance was pretty damn good. Another actor who surprised the hell outta' me was Marlon Wayans. I mean, he's not in the entire movie, but when he is, he does a heck of a job. A far cry from the Wayans Brothers show and "White Chicks", or "White Girls", or whatever the hell it was called. Definitely rent-worthy, for me, it was buy-worthy, but why should anyone listen to me, I wear an aluminum foil hat so my thoughts can't be stolen, and then I come and post them here voluntarily!! What's my problem!??
