    White Chicks is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Never fails to crack you up, and I don't think people realize how hard that is. They say it's much harder to make a good comedy than a good drama, and that is so true. They should get all the cred for that. Also, Marlon's performance in Requiem For A Dream - one of my favorite films, period - was fantastic. A huge surprise. He should definitely do more drama.

    I actually came across 'requiem for a dream' about a month ago and watched for the first time, I feel it's underrated. Didn't understand it at first or where the plot was going but by the end i liked the underlying messages within certain parts of the film. It was very surreal. I truly enjoy Marlon's creativity overall, and how he can basically shape or change a character around certain aspects of a script.

    Marlon is one of the greatest comedic talents of our time. His dramatic roles are criminally underrated. Till this day I can’t watch RFD again coz of how real his performance was and scared to death of drugs. Thank you GQ for bringing this legend in for a chat and taking us on a walk down memory lane.
