it is just about time to wipe off the dust, from both my copy of the film and my memory/mind, and have another look.
mine's the original version (aka "theatrical") and that's what i'll be viewing.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% SPOILERS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Gregg and I watched it the other night. Oh...it's still so very good. A couple of things stood out even more this time around. I love his parents. I love the fact that the daughter could speak up and be funny enough to leave a Dukakis note on the fridge. When they go into the therapist you can just tell how concerned they are and my favorite scene is still when Donnie and his mom are sitting on the bed in his room. It was bittersweet to see Patrick Swayze, The movies that were made are so hilarious. Fear Love. And the way that the Sparkle Motion mom would trust the team with Donnie's mom on a trip is strange because I just don't think she has much respect and trust for her at all.

still a remarkably good movie; durable & worth watching repeatedly, and not solely for warm waves of nostalgia. very well "crafted": music, editing, cinematography, lots of nice close-ups, and acting is good too. transcends the "cult" label that some would apply as a pejorative.
surprised to realize that there is zero mention of Tangent/Alternate/Primary Universes in original version of film, which does make Frank's initial rescue of Donnie a bit puzzling (unless i've missed something) and the assumptions about time travel more likely. hadn't noticed before how obnoxious, rude, & cruel Donnie is early in the story. i think that Donnie is laughing at the end because he has found the answers that he was seeking, about God & dying alone; it finally makes some sense to him, even if it may yet be non-sense...

Was Donnie really rude? I am trying to remember. Isn't he the one who sticks up for Cherita at the bus stop? Isn't he kind of being picked on by the creepy 'better than you' guys at school? Do you mean at the table? Does this mean I have to watch it again soon??? ;-) The part that I have the hardest time with is the teacher making the girl change seats so that Rachel can sit next to Donnie. That just makes it weird (unless it was all in his mind) I think that he is laughing because he had already cheated death once and now had a different idea of what death was. Nice to see you around Twink!

Do you mean at the table? Does this mean I have to watch it again soon??? ;-) yeah, very rude to Mother ("Bitch!"), obnoxious at dinner table (inappropriate in front of younger sister & snide/nasty to older sis), and obviously all negative fear prisoner to Kitty Farmer's rainbow unicorn happy face. he is kind too, of course, to Cherita, sticking up for her when his friends mock her, as well as intervening w/Gretchen & bad boys on the day of the flood. by film's end we do see an "improvement" in his attitude, more understanding & compassionate than at first. i guess all that is meant to illustrate his instability, his mood changes & volatility. yes-strange, but remember that the teacher is eventually fired because of her "methods". the part that always bugs me is near the beginning when the father aims the leaf blower right at his older daughter, up the front of her body and into her face. not nice at all & sort of creepy. thanks K. & good to see you too alive and kickin'

did watch it Halloween night; again impressed with enduring quality of film (gain insights every time i see it: NOW i understand about the Insurance Trap...).
wife & daughter saw it first time. difficult to imagine not knowing info. as provided by director's cut, how that would affect reading of film.
it seems at end Donnie must know that jet engine is headed for his head, yet he continues lying there, laughing & laughing...has he seen into "God's channel" and now knows something even greater awaits him?
