No no. I have seen Requiem but not Once Upon a Time... So, as a fan of Requiem you should be convincing me that Once Upon a Time isn't as good... or something... Well whatever we have a new poll now, so my vote doesn't matter

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM HAS TEH BUTTSECKS.

No, but in all seriousness, it's a wonderfully gut-wrenching, heart-breaking tale about addiction and the best laid plans of mice and men. It's like watching a wax-sculpted statuette melt slowly on an unbearably humid day, dripping over itself as it attempts desperately to cling to the victorious form it had once held. You, the sick voyeur you are, know the outcome - you know the wax will eventually melt completely, fall from its heavenly throne to sit in a stagnant puddle, yet you watch anyway just to see each melting fold and bubble as it makes its way down. You watch it bleed. You watch it die.

Do you want to get a good idea of Requiem for a Dream without seeing it? Okay. Go watch Detroit Rock City. I'll wait. ...alright, now, wasn't that nice? Ok, so, take everything that happened in that movie and make it exactly the opposite, and you get Darren Aronofski's Requiem for a Dream

Once Upon a Time in America is the ultimate story of loss of innocence, both as a human being and as a nation and culture. Robert de Niro gives arguably his best performance, second only to Travis Bickle, and James Woods gives his best performance period. The cinematography and sets are jaw-droppingly beautiful. The story is a tragedy in the classical sense and still manages to retain humor and warmth. It is four hours long and it feels like it goes by in an hour and a half; not one scene is unnecessary or out of place. And it has the greatest film score in cinema history.

I think you set this up so the polls automatically close. Cause I haven't voted yet and I can only see results and can't vote...

(also I've seen Requiem but not Once Upon a Time, fans of either - you can try and convince me why "Once Upon a Time" is better/worse than Requiem without me having to watch it 😁 )

I have a feeling RFD is going to win probably just because more people here will have seen it.

Leone! Once Upon A Time In America should destroy RFAD.
