Favorite movie of all time, no questions asked. I know there are trillions of psychological pinpoints to this thing, it's so wonderful and complex that no one understands it by examining it closely; so I step back real far and it all becomes clear to me. Jake Gyllenhaal is Donnie Darko. If someone else had been cast for the role, I would have it with the movie industry. This is a smart, thought-provoking film and to me it is a masterpiece that I live by religiously. I watched it the first time during a very mentally troubling time in my adolescent years, and I instantaneously connected with it. I hear people all over this board complaining about "not understanding it" or talking about all the time travel crap or the plot or how it makes sense. But it doesn't, and therefore it does. This is a more than a film to me (and probably most of us). Donnie Darko is my hero. (Well so is Frank heheh)
