The Donnie Darko DVD without the extras....

What's the point?

Cash in on 'Mad World' me thinks.

Ignore that. I've had a bit of a short fuse recently so just pretend I didn't type that :D

If you haven't seen Memento then I ugre you to watch that. Absoloutly superb film, makes Darko look like nothing more than a fairy tail with a man in a bunny suit.

Depth, discussion and intrigue?

Heh, now THAT'S comedy.

Chill out home-boy, I was just giving my opinion. My opinion is that your opinion is laughable and the film really isn't all that it's made out to be.

Try Mulholland Drive. I *still* don't get it!

I love the film, I like they entire 'nothing is as ok as what it seems in middle America' idea. Plus I love the way everything turns very sinister when Frank appears on the scene. Plus the humour is dark, plenty of head material if you fancy getting behind the symbolism of the movie.

And I've had enough of that damn song. I think the first 3 or 4 times I heard it, I was in awe. Now they've played it to death, it's just another piece of commercial fodder - they even made a dance version for gods sake.

It's not the greatest film ever made, there is a gallon of creepiness from that rabbit, and a sombre atmosphere that makes you feel on edge at times.

When I first saw it, and some six foot grotesque rabbit with a creepy as hell voice, told Donnie that the earth would end in exactly x amount of time, I thought 'this kicks some ass'. I found the ending a little disappointing and rushed, but for the most part it was a refreshingly unique film that kept you guessing. I like the way your beliefs are constantly challenged - is Donnie a psychotic or is this for real?

A good head scratcher of a film, but not the best film ever made at all.

Thanks for this.

I went to see Donnie Darko cause my teacher suggested it, I didn't know it was a cult film.. I didn't even know it was small budget... in fact I knew nothing about it.

I just saw it and went "wow"... it was only after did I learn the cult hit that it is.

Ignoring the fact they do.
