Got me thinking...

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2003)

And got me talking... In the 24 hours since I saw this movie the first time, I've told numerous people about this mysterious journey, hoping to get more people exposed to this wonderful piece of work. I'm an IMDB regular, although I only recently became a member. In my goings about this site, I noticed that a number of people with movie interests similar to mine listed this movie as one of their favorites. Thank you all... as I never would have dreamed a film entitled "Donnie Darko" could be worth watching. So few movies keep me intently watching the entire way through, and even at 3 AM when the movie ended... knowing that I had to be up in 2 and a half hours for work... I spent an hour going through the messageboards trying to answer some of the questions raised by Donnie and his magical journey. I give this a solid 9 out of 10... and if they allowed halves, 9.5 out of 10.
