They don't make films like these like they used to...ever

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2003)

Donnie Darko is a brilliant film made in 2001 as if it were straight out of the 80's - this technique is good enough on its own to make the film both nostalgic and enjoyable, but coupled with one of the most thought provoking endings in recent film history takes the film to new heights. 'Mad World' by Gary Jules which is featured in the film made No.1 Christmas song in the UK incidentally.
