Ah yes, that film was a truly awful experience. So awful that it had me crying with laughter, mind.

I thought Donnie Darko was a pretty damn good film. I managed to pick up the DVD for £3.99 in HMV last year.

Some other naturally good time travel films:

Bill and Ted 1 and 2
BTTF 1-3
Butterfly Effect
Twelve Monkeys

It was entertainment, but I wouldn't bother watching it again. It annoyed me by trying to be more intelligent than it really was, same with Identity, but that wasn't so bad.

Or understand, whatever.

I enjoyed it, didn't really find it hard to unstand either.

Evil Dead 3, Army of Darkness.

"This... is my BOOMSTICK"

Flight of the Navigator I need to see again, and the Terminators weren't bad, but can't stand too tall alongside BTTF and Bill and Ted.

Planet of the Apes too. All a million times better than Donnie Darko.

Aye, another. That ranks third so far, with Donnie Darko a no-placer.

12 monkeys.

We were talking about it less than a week ago! :P

I stand corrected.

Donnie Darko was a weak contender to the Bill & Ted/BTTF time-travel crown. And if you ever see a little film called 'Bubble Boy' you'll never to be able to take Jake Gylhenwotsit seriously again.

Back to the Future 1-3
