Donnie Darko, from what I have heard, has been labeled a modern day cult classic. The movie fixes itself around a high school kid named Donnie Darko, hence the name of the movie. Donnie has problems, lots of problems. He suffers from social anxiety, bullying, sleep walking, and nightmare visions/daylight hallucinations of a demonic looking rabbit who give him jobs and prophecies. The movie fixes itself heavily around the discovery of the fourth dimension and time travel. I originality saw the regular cut version until I bought the directors cut. If you plan on seeing this movie get the director's cut. The original doesn't reveal nearly as much as the director's cut. This movie does a great job of screwing with your mind and leaves you guessing up until the very end. Richard Kelly wrote a great script, and I believe this movie is successful because of the main character. Donnie has so many problems and ideas that every teen deals with on a day to day basis. See this movie, it is great.
