Donnie Darko
Don’t ask me to explain this one — it’s just good. It starts out as one kind of movie and becomes something completely different. The problem is, if I tell you what it becomes, that kind of ruins some of the story. Just trust me when I say this one is worth taking a chance for. Rent it. Watch it. Stick with it if you’re not getting it. By the end, it will all make a certain sense, but you’re probably going to want to see it again. Great writing and acting, and the director does a phenomenal job of establishing the creepy mood of the whole thing.
