Though I do love that film I still prefer a viewing experience that captivates me so that I forget I'm watching a movie and just experience it. On the other hand I like a movie that I can get comfortable either in its style or its realism. I beleive movies can accomplish these two things simultaneously. "Trash" did neither of those things for me. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. I guess I just don't think it's important.
