I've seen that film 11 times now. Also, "Irreversible" and "Salo," which I've seen 3 times each, and would see again, though most people can hardly manage 1 viewing. I know what it's like to be compelled to watch really disturbing movies again and again. Oh, and I would watch "Requiem" again. I just don't know if I'd buy it. @Adriano:

There's no denying that this film is not a happy one, nor will it leave you with high hopes at the end. But there's just something about it that draws me in, that completely ensnares me. I find myself rewatching it once or twice a year. I can't really explain why, I just love everything about it. The cinematography, the direction, the score...everything about it was so well done. @Adriano:

Call me crazy, but every five or six months I'm compelled to watch it again. It kills me everytime, I end up a mess of tears and all, but everything is just so brilliant - the direction, the performances, the amazing score, the special effects, the dialogue - that I just NEED to see it again. Maybe it's my own addiction. One of the best films ever made. Requiem for a Dream is one of the most re-watchable movies I've seen.

This is a tough decision for me regarding these dark films such as Requiem, Seven, and A Clockwork Orange. These movies are often times some of my favorites, but they are difficult to put in for multiple times. However, I'm sure I will end up buying Requiem on Blu-ray; I just love the film too much and think I would really enjoy that Aronofsky commentary. Your points are solid here.
