I am a very big fan of Aronofsky so take these recommendations with a grain of salt as most everything he's done has been fascinating to me.
Requiem for a Dream - my fave Aronofsky flick. I hate overused terms like "Visceral" and "Unflinching" but both of these apply to this movie. Less a character study and more a study of the overall theme of addiction. I would recommend seeing this first.
Both The Wrestler and Black Swan I would categorize as character studies that flow in two opposite directions. Black Swan was actually my favorite movie of 2010 so that says something. The Wrestler made my top 5 in 2008 so either one would be great when you're in that movie mode.
I liked Pi, but it wasn't anything overwhelmingly great like the others I've mentioned. See this one last.
