Donnie Darko movie?

I really loved that movie. It's one of those ones that rattle your brains and keep you up and zoned in the whole time. Like, anyone would have to watch it a few times to get it.


I have seen movies a little similair to that aspect like the illusionist and the prestige, but they explain everything in the end in such a simple way, but donnie darko, even after the flashbacks, makes you ponder and have to watch it again.


Also, it was a science fiction.


So any other sci-fi brain rattling movies?


Sci-fi books and movies tend to have a little romance based story throughout it, and are very deep and futuristic.


But This one was a little different, about a genuis kid, who happens to see hallucinations, an dhad love/horror/family drama/depression/future/time traveling, all in one great movie..


Movies Like that please? =D

Reply:yea Donnie Darko is probably 1 of the movies on the top of my list. i dont really know any other brain rattling movies
Reply:Luckily, there is only one film like that, and that is Donnie Darko. I don't think I could stomach another subpar film like it. I really thought it was an amibitious idea without the proper knowledge, skill and talent to pull it off. And come on, when have you ever seen teens dancing and laughing to Love Will Tear Us Apart like it was some American Idol pop song?





When I think of mind-bending Sci-Fi films, I think of 2001: A Space Odyessey, or Tarkovsky's Stalker and Solaris.





I guess, what I have to say is, I have no recommendations...except maybe The Fountain. Yes, for you, The Fountain.
Reply:Get the Director's Cut of Donnie Darko...it explains the movie even more.
Reply:well its not sci fi but it will definitely make u ponder and think, i thought about this movie and even looked on the internet for explanations afterward its called mullholland drive


or try deja vu
Reply:Try The Fountain. Along with being what you're looking for, it is absolutely beautiful. Also a movie called Primer, this one is definately a head scratcher about realistic implications of time travel.
Reply:DONNIE DARKO was a poorly made and blatant rip-off of HARVEY.





HARVEY was one of my favorite movies as a kid and JERKO DARKO was just an ugly remake.
Reply:I'm quite fond of Pi and The Cube also. You might want to check those out too.





Edit: Memento is another good one.
Reply:I loved Donnie Darko





The Directors Cut of The Butterfly Effect is a cracker too, but it has to be the Directors Cut...
