She and Ben Kingsley put in excellent performances in House of Sand and Fog.

That movie is heavy as fuck.

Rocketeer easily, everyone in that movie is 10/10

Objectively, it's Requiem for a dream, but my favorite is Other : Blood Diamond.

Labyrinth is my favourite.

Blood Diamond is awesome too.

She is excellent in both.

Seeing as I've yet to watch Requiem, don't remember much from the Rocketeer, and I watched Labyrinth more for Bowie and the puppets, I'll say Phenomena.

Damn, I haven't even seen Dark City either. I guess I need to watch more Jennifer Connelly movies.

Add my vote to the pile for this. As good as Requiem is, I think this one might have been better. I was pretty much broken by the end of it.

OP should update the poll.

I'm not a super emotional person, and certainly wasn't back then, and when I saw it for the first time at a midnight showing in maybe 2006, I had to leave the theater and go outside at the end because I had a total meltdown. I couldn't even tell you another movie I've even cried at, let alone this level of reaction.

I've seen it twice since just because it made such an insanely deep impression on me and every time it's devastating just the same. I also spent my teen years living in that actual neighborhood, or pretty close to it to be exact.

An incredible fucking role for everyone involved. I recently actually read that Dave Chappelle turned the role of Tyrone down and considers it one of his big career regrets after he saw it when it came out.

PS: I haven't seen House Of Sand And Fog somehow...

Yes, the best movie is prob Requiem, even though it's the toughest to get through. For whatever reason, I actually rewatched it last week and it's still as rough and haunting as I remember. I was also reminded how good the music is and how well Aronofsky portrayed the frantic, intense, horrowing feelings/experiences they were all going through that last 15min or so.

I remember seeing career opportunities and thinking the store was fake and a ripoff of Caldor and Bradley's....little did I know!

Maybe not the best, but I like Mulholland Falls because I like detective films.

Career opportunities is where I first saw her and immediately wanted to be locked in a target.

house of sand and fog is fantastic tho

I'm not sure if anyone in the history of everything has been more attractive than she was in Career Opportunities - she's breathtaking in that film.

But Requiem is the better movie and the better acting by miles.

Dark City but only the director's cut for the Sway singing performance with her real voice.

I went with A Beautiful Mind from the list. I'd go with Once Upon A Time in America overall. But I haven't seen Requiem For A Dream yet, but it is on a streaming service I sub to, so I'll check it out.
