"Donnie Darko"

I recall there was another thread on this film but started a new one anyway.

One of the strangest but refreshingly original films I've seen in a long time. Very thought provoking.

Anyone else seen it? And what is that tune called at the end of the film, it's superb.

I liked the film but didn't get it :S, i tried to get it but just couldn't

Take a trolly.

ive been recommended others as well so ill have to do two trips over tyhis week.

The song is a cover of a Tears For Fears song, who also (in case you weren't aware) provide the music for one of the best uses-of-music-in-a-film moments in this film. The music when they're doing the slo-mo walk off the bus into the school bit is Tears For Fears' Head Over Heels (and to indicate just how old I am, I bought the album it's on - Songs From The Big Chair - on cassette when it came out in 1982!)

...and yes, watch Punch-Drunk Love too.

i watched jackass last night before this and laughed my ass off. I'd seen it before but it had the same impact the second time round.

brainless fun, especially the end 'son of jackass' bit which I hadn't seen the first time.

i would have been pished off if i was the main guy.

It is truly mind-boggling. But once you start to understand it all - It's true brilliance.

apparently voted the most complicated film of the year. i liked it when i watched, so ill watch it again (it was mind bending)

what i think is funny is that im renting all these thinking movies and then i want to get jackass aswell :D

Got the DVD.

Excellent film that was shamefully ignored at the cinema.

Watch it again - You'll get a better understanding of it. Excellent acting and a superb plot.

I believe everyone should watch this.

And I mean everyone.
