These are my 5 movies for the weekend; I've never seen any of them. How would you rank them? Any I should skip?

Requiem, almost famous, into the wild in that order. Have not seen the other two, but I'm assuming they're better than into the wild.

Also they are all WILDLY different and Requiem and Into the Wild require a certain mood to enjoy.

Mulholland Drive is total crap. Second worst movie ever behind Tree of Life.

The other four are all very good.

1. Requiem for a Dream - Ranked on Pure Impact. It's a tough movie to watch that's worth it, but you'll never want to watch it again. Watch it last. Ellen Burstyn's performance is all-time great.

2. Blue Velvet - A Completely unique film. It's awesome and weird. And weird and awesome. And weirsome too. I have no idea what that means, much like the film.

3. Almost Famous - Is probably the best film to watch in the middle of all these other movies. Great performances, great soundtrack. Fun movie.

4. Mulholland Drive - You might end up watching this twice. It's placement at 4 is no indication that's it's bad. All of the above are great movies.

5. Into the Wild - Good film and all but it's hard to both like the main character and feel sorry for him. Watch it first.

Nope. If you have the time, all worth a watch.

After Requiem you'll never think of Jennifer Connolly quite the same way again.

You just don't see wholesome family fun like that in movies very often.

You can skip Almost Famous. Into the Wild is worth seeing once, maybe. The others are great. Blue Velvet is a masterpiece and Requiem for a Dream is one hell of an experience.

1. Requiem for a Dream....maybe the most disturbing film I've ever seen. The last 20 minutes are so fcking uncomfortable. The score is downright incredible.

2. Mulholland Drive.....the world's #1 WTF? movie. It's a must-see, especially if you're a David Lynch fan.

3. Blue Velvet.....again, it's a Lynch masterpiece. Weird, dark, full of WTF? moments.




Haven't seen Into the Wild and Almost Famous.

Watch Mulholland Drive, then watch it again without masturbating and tell us what you think of it.
