Donnie Darko is one of the best and most thought-provoking movies that I have seen. Jake Gyllenhaal was perfect as the lead, as he has the dark, almost tortured and menacing face that suits Donnie's character perfectly. The movie, like the Butterfly Effect, shows how each action has a consequence and affects the people around you. Except, Donnie Darko goes further, at times exploring the possibility of taking different paths. This was only part of the movie, however. This is also one of the better movies to play around with the possibility of time-travel. The movie also holds so much meaning in the form of looking at the effect that one person can have on a number of people's lives.
