2. donnie darko is like a good radiohead song
nobody knows what it means really, but somehow it evokes an emotional response inside

3. I enjoyed watching that movie
I couldn't tell you exactly WHY, but I did. Like a dream.

4. Try watching "Stay"
If you like Donnie Darko, you will most likely enjoy "Stay". It was just released a couple of weeks ago to DVD.

15. You may have to watch it a couple of times.
I would surely watch when you are not distracted. I love movies like that, where you don't see everything the first time around.

5. One of my favorites of all time
I was profoundly affected by that movie...still am each time I watch it. I've heard some people call it "over-rated", though. So I am glad I saw it before it became sort of a cult phenomenon...I didn't know anything about it when I rented it, except that Drew Barrymore was in it. I guess I was just expecting the typical charming/quirky Drew Barrymore flick, but I got so much more than that! I was absolutely floored...my jaw literally dropped open at the end, and I couldn't speak!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

7. It was very good.
The sound guys should have won awards. The voice of "Frank" was haunting. I don't think I've ever heard anything like that.

8. Had to immediately watch it again the first time I saw it.
Didn't appreciate it until the second viewing. Haunting, and the music was dead-on perfect, especially "Mad World".

Although my one complaint is that I can no longer look at the Philadelphia 76ers mascot the same way ever again

9. My whole house watched it together
All of us (4 guys & myself) caught each other humming "Mad World" for days. It affected each of us differently, but deeply. I own it and watch it on a regular basis.

14. Watch the extras on DVD, helped make it better too
I liked it a lot, especially after watching the bits they had cut that needed to be in there. Not the Best Movie, but very good one recently.
