1
Requiem for a Dream (2000,  R)
Requiem for a Dream
Requiem for a dream is a cleverly put together story, showing the lives of four drug addict, three addicted to narcotics and one to prescribed drugs.

The acting is great all around, the creative filming allows the viewer to understand the feelings of the characters and the music really dramatizes the situation.

Best performance has to go to Ellen Burstyn
2
Lonely Hearts (2006,  R)
Lonely Hearts
LONELY HEARTS

Jared Leto loses his boyish looks in this film as he transforms himself into an older man and teams up with Salma Hayek to become lovers on a rampage in a Bonnie & Clyde fashion.

Worth watching, but don?t make it a high priority.
3
Panic Room (2002,  R)
Panic Room
A very average film, it takes a great story to make a great film when it's shot around one set.

Worth watching, but not one of Fincher's or Foster's best.
4
American Psycho (2000,  R)
American Psycho
I really wasn't a fan of this film first time around, in fact it stopped me watching films with Christian Bale in altogether. Having seen some of his other films lately though, I decided to give this another try and enjoyed it much more this time around.

The materialistic, egotistic living the high life which has become mundane needs to fulfill his compulsion to kill, a different angle on the serial killer front.

VERDICT: Definitely worth a watch
5
Girl, Interrupted (1999,  R)
Girl, Interrupted
I thoroughly enjoyed this film, both at the time of the release and re-watching it now.

Some really good performances, but in particular Angelina Jolie, this is my favourite of hers, it was before she became too 'Hollywood.'

Brings a little awareness to the subjects raised, but also has a sort of hidden message.

VERDICT: If you've not manageed to watch this as yet then I definitely recommend watching.
6
Urban Legend (1998,  R)
7
Fight Club (1999,  R)
Fight Club
Fincher's 'Fight Club' rightly takes it's place in popular film history as a classic must see. It had many levels and layers to it and some impressive graphic and camerwork.



The twisted plot gives first time viewers unpredictability and multiple viewers a sense of familiarity even though I can still pick up on something different each time.



There is a certain sense beneath the chaso in this film and a sense of irony in trying to be an individual.



My favourite quote of the film: "It's only when we've lost everything, we are free to do anything'.
8
The Thin Red Line (1999,  R)
The Thin Red Line
A huge quality star cast, which I?m sure is a huge selling point for this film, however I would find it near impossible to relay this film to someone else, perhaps war films are not quite my forte and maybe this is an area which I just won?t get, afterall it did receive 7 Academy award nominations.
9
Lord of War (2005,  R)

    Jared Leto has been in some pretty interesting films and caught my eye in Requiem for a Dream. I look forward to working my way through this list.
