Pi and Requiem for a Dream as a one-two punch.
"Being smart is such a curse I'd rather get a lobotomy" is boring, self-serving and trite, but the Reefer Madness-level "drugs bad" thing in Requiem is unbearable and requires every character to be entirely nonsensical.
Trainspotting was four years old by that point. How critics let Aronofsky get away with it is beyond me. To this day the closest I've been from walking out of a movie theatre. The only reason I stuck around was it was in a festival and I was there with other people.
Right there with you on these two. So overhyped.
