Donnie Darko

An excellent yet overrated cult movie made by Richard Kelly. Donnie Darko is a troubled adolescent who's life is saved when a giant bunny rabbit orders him to follow him one night. A plane engine so happens to crash on Donnie's room, but he is gone with frank (which is why his life is saved) Realizing that his life should have ended then, Donnie finds secrets of physics and experiments things related to time travel and a book, that simply cannot be a coincidence. He is also going through a major teenage confusion, doubting humanity and especially adults. Just look at how the parents' reaction is different to the childrens', when Donnie is bashing Jim Cunningham on stage. They are shocked, while the teens actually relate to the REALISM of Donnie's words. Things cannot always be devided in only two paths. Life isn't that simple. Donnie Darko, the movie, is a presentation of many philosophies that only very few people ever think of. "Destruction is a form of creation" Etc, etc. Fantastic, yet kind of overrated movie by most. I see ALOT of people who "respect" and "worship" this movie yet cannot understand crap about it. Some like it just because it's oh so underground/cult, and never actually try to think about the message flowing in the movie. Sad.
