During a year i watch at least over 600 movies a year since it is part of my job. When i first rented Donnie Darko i wasn't sure what to expect. I loved it from beginning to end and went out to purchase the DVD the next day. Even though it was pricey at $.. when it was first released it was a good buy. The DVD is packed with bonus features such as a couple of commentaries, many deleted and extended scenes, trailer, still galleries, etc.Where to begin on just how good this movie is? I'm not quite sure where to begin. The story itself is very original and enagaging. The cast is perfect and there is some marvelous acting throughout the picture. The visuals are simply marvelous, it is a treat for the eyes. The soundtrack is also quite excellent from 1980's pop tunes to droning ambience.This is one movie in which you notice something different every time you watch. I've already watched it at least 10 times and that is incredibly rare for me to do that!
