I have just finished watching Donnie Darko. Lovefilm sent it to me late last week and I decided that tonight would be a good time to settle down and watch it.

Donnie Darko is a psychological thriller about a boy who, at the beginning of the film, is told that the world is due to end in 28 days by a giant demonic rabbit. The film then goes on to explore themes such as mental illness, the physics of time travel, love and an ironic look at life in the American school system.

I found the film intriguing to watch. It has a strange, possibly sad, ending that does in some respects explain the rest of the film. It reminds me of Vanilla Sky in the way that you gain some understanding of what the Director was trying to accomplish only at the very end.
