Yes! Requiem for a Dream is a very powerful movie.

If you're interested in a movie which realistically depicts the negative consequences of sexual immorality, I'd recommend seeing "Closer," which starred Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, and Clive Owen. This was one of my favorite movies of 2004. The four main characters swap back and forth, cheat on each other, lie, manipulate, etc. Unlike most Hollywood movies, which glorify this kind of stuff, "Closer" shows how its destroys lives.

Isn't it the other way around???

Requiem and Closer are two great movies that show the down sides of drugs and sex, respecively.

I really wonder what 87 movies they did screen, and if only 28 had sex sceens in them, how representative of the genereal industry is that. I mean they started out with 200 movies, got rid of the animated, G and PG ones (no sex in those), and of the ones that were left only 28 had sex in them. Most of those 28 had lots of sex in the, but still 28 outta 200...

Another movie that really shows the downside of sex and drug use is "Kids". Beware though, it is very raw.

I love this:
