Yes, along with and Pi, and the Black Swan.

All movies better than Insomnia, Following, and the Prestige.

Go watch back to the future II

prestige is pretty good. not better then those 3 but stll good.

The Prestige is one of the best movies of the last decade. Brilliantly acted all around.

Requim For A Dream is utter trash. Over acted, awful, boring plot, and some of the worst imagry and storytelling i've ever seen in a movie. That movie tries way too hard. Bottom 5 all time for me.

Requiem for a Dream uses that same fucking song 20 times. Sorry, but if that's your whole soundtrack, I can't watch.

Cheap shot if you're comparing that guys best to random Nolan films. Unless you think those are Nolans best?

The entire movie is a repetitive bore.

Don't forget the worst Brooklyn accent of all time from Jared Leto, typical annoyingness from Jennifer Connelly and the most unimaginative narrative arc of all time.

Wait, did I say arc? I meant a descending plane, since it only goes in one direction ... here's a visual representation of the "arc" of that shitty movie:

The Prestige is awesome, fuck you nflman. Go fuck your fat wife.

I have never seen Pi, but since it's supposed to be one of Aranofsky's best (can't be worse than Requiem for a Dream, I'd imagine) I would hope it is better than Nolan's 4th and 5th best films. Also, Following was shot on like $500 of Nolan's own money in between his part time jobs. LOL at even comparing that to the other features Aranofsky and Nolan have directed.

As for Insomnia, it is nothing groundbreaking but it's a solidly told story with a strong protagonist and cool setting. I like it a lot, but yeah it's his 5th best movie at best.

Still, I'd certainly rather watch that over the pretentious and overly stylized trainwreck that is RfoaD any day.


:truestory:

Saw Reqiuem for a Dream for the first time last year. I can't say I enjoyed it or disliked it. Not something I would pull out for a casual movie night though. Its pretty depressing.

 

[padman59]

Nolan and Aronofsky are both fine directors in my book. I've enjoyed both of their movie catalogs.

ok, the only Nolan film I would rank up there with Aronofsky is Memento.

 

[nflman2033]

I don't think its bad, but its not great either

so go watch jack off while watching back to the future II


So clearly based on this thread the asinine opinion NAHSTE and Palooza have of movies extends beyond the idiotic belief that Back to the Future II is better than III.

It all makes sense to me now, go about your business enjoying horrible movies and hating great movies. its like this when you are agreeing with W2BTD on movies then you know you are in the wrong, that guy has got one of the worst taste in movies on this board.
