Requiem, Clockwork Orange, Fear and Loathing, Blade Runner, etc. All these great movies are appealing to the masses, but for all the wrong reasons. That, young malchick, is why you might find it highly overrated.

And my dearest appy polly loggy for dragging on the thread off topic.
Fear and Loathing, Trainspotting, and Clockwork Orange are all amazing movies, and some of my favorite, but I never really cared that much for Requiem for a Dream. *shrugs*
