Mrs Manctheknife, a fine woman, arrived back at the gaff one evening clutching Irreversible, then spent the next two hours calling me twisted for making her watch it.....

Haute Tension (Switchblade Romance)

Don't watch the dubbed version though, make sure it's in French with subtitles.

Requium for a dream is a real kick in the gut....relentlessly depressing. A great film but not one i'd want to watch more than once.

Agreed.

Fuckin' head fuck!

just watched this it might take me a couple days to get over it. good film but extremely depressing

Adam and Paul-about 2 Dublin junkies.True to life,very funny and heartbreaking in places.

Got this off Amazon, along with some other recommendations. What a film. It makes Trainspotting look like a Two Ronnies sketch. What a great advert for not taking drugs. Some brilliant acting, and in no way are the two blokes made to look cool, or trendy. Brilliant stuff.
