  • I own this movie and watch it at least twice a year - One of my all time favorite movies -

  • I want this film but all I can find is the directors cut or S.darko.Bullshit

  • @Dontmakemecomeover5 I find the Director's Cut is actually better, you should try it :)

  • I love this movie to DEATH and I'm buying the 10th anniversary edition tomorrow :D I do not own anything of "Donnie Darko" (yes, I am ashamed of that), so it's perfect.

  • chevere, cuando patrick vivia... me la vere..

  • Damn now I want to dress up as Frank the giant Bunny Rabbit for Halloween...

  • AMAZING film. It is awesome.

  • OMG this movie is amazing - the ending is even more wicked... and i mean wicked!

    The thing that strikes me the most in this movie is the way positive things are seemed to be made negative and negative things are seemed to be made positive; at the end he does the most negative thing possible for the most positive outcome.

  • I think I'll watch this stoned. See what happens...

  • l love this movie. lt is flat out amazing and such as a major mind fuck. Jake is amazing in this. "l think about girls a lot...." l was just rewatching this on Friday.

    l love Frank.

  • i <3 drew barrymore

  • Oh my gosh, I want to see this so badly!

  • 20 people can go and suck a fuck.

  • @natureisthelife Oh how exactly does one suck a fuck!?

  • The movie is about what could happen, what didn't happen, and points in our life where coincidence is more than it seems

  • I. LOVE. THIS. MOVIE. ALOT!!!!

    at first when i watched it, i was in middle school, and i was like "wtf"

    now after watching the movie again, i felt so stupid. i missed the brilliance of this movie! damn, this is seriously one of the best movies ever made, but its still mind numbing to watch at the same time.

  • Why is the cut version better than the uncut?

  • can anybody explain to me about the time travel philosophy of this film and the ending? what happens in the end? y and hw did Franc appear?

  • @enginetai Keep watching it over and over, you'll get it

  • @enginetai frank is i time traveler, a ghost. he want it donnie to know that he killed his girlfriend, in order to avoid the death of her donnie had ti die. the turbine also travel to time at the same time that frank so maybe he cause it. the old lady also was waitnig the day 30 so the univers just mixed in that time and donnie hapened to be afected by that, he sacrifies, is the only way to change time, because of him she follows the same pat that donnie that leads her to her death

  • @enginetai 2 dimensions... in ONE, Donnie is killed and his girlfriend lives, in dimension TWO, Donnie lives and sees his girlfriend get shot. The plane crash is the only difference between these two dimensions. The plane engine falls into a wormhole (portal between dimensions) and kills Donnie. This event is what changes Donnie's and his girlfriend's fate. So in one dimension, Donnie is living and in another, he is hit by a jumbo jet turbine. Message me if you're still confused...

  • @Dylsworth

    I'm still confused.

    I understand the 2 dimension's and that the engine coming from another dimension (the future actually).

    But why the hell is ''dead frank'' telling him stuff? couse at that time ''Frank'' isnt dead in both dimensions. So actually donnie see's dead frank in a 3th dimension? or what the... the movie is mindfckin me.

  • @Pieterpost89 I believe "Frank" is there to simply make the movie more interesting and make it more of a horror film. I'm not sure he really has anything to do with the theory of time travel itself, but rather a special twist to make Donnie's mindset seem a bit darker...

  • @Dylsworth Maybe. . But then there is another mystic. Why is Frank sitting sadly in front of hes bed feeling he's RIGHT eye looking at the bunny mask at the verry end of the movie. Couse nothing happend.. so he must know something too..

  • @Pieterpost89 Frank just woke up from a nightmare at the end of the movie. If you watch that part, Donnie says that said occurrences in time travel will appear in the user's dream (including frank's dream). So he touches his eye because he had a dream about Donnie shooting and killing him. He does "know something" but only that what happened was dream, and not reality. This movie is also an example of "deja vu" because everyone dreamed about what happened in the future & sad because he died

  • @Dylsworth Now you say so.. indeed!

    Thanks, Its quite clear to me now!

  • @Dylsworth Then why didn't the chick remember

  • Donnie Darko isn't well explained cause of the director had to cut the Movie for the cinema version. That made it to something like an art-movie. You could also watch the directors cut, but the movie isn't half as good as the cutted version.

  • I did not get the ending. i thought it was a good movie but just near the end it lost me. So a portal through time opens as according to a prophecy and in this alternate universe the main character gets killed by a jet engine? How does the bunny play any role in the time traveling plot? Good movie but if there was some sort of clarity at the end I think it would have been better.

  • @kevluv93 The Bunny was frank near the end you see him get shot and he guided donnie on the path and told him what to do

  • what is the plot of this film? someone tell me please

  • @EmilyBFF1997 from what i understood

    donnie is shown a dream/nightmare of a alternate universe/reality by Jack (the bunny)

    it's an awesome movie

  • @Smataba frank you dumbass, not jack.

  • @Smataba Frank*

  • Hey! My name is Darko! ^^

    what do you think of that?

  • @DarkoVr mine is to :) my first name tho!

  • found it xD

  • whats the music in the background?

  • Slipping away

  • slipping away from whom?

  • i don't think this trailer does a good job capturing the awesomeness of this movie, then again i don't think any trailer no matter how it was made could do the movie justice because of how open ended the movie is

  • Best movie out there.

    Right next to the butterfly effect.

  • @FxnJoseph You mean, "well above" the Butterfly Effect.

  • My #2 movie of the 00's!

  • @kbudz whats your number one film of the 00's?

  • In my opinion (and feel free to disagree) the best movies of the decade where... 10-Star Trek 9-Lord of the Rings Trilogy 8-the Royal Tenebaums 7-Fahrenheit 911 6-the Dark Knight 5-American Psycho 4-Sin City 3-Napolean Dynamite 2-Donnie Darko 1-Battle Royale
  • @kbudz wow, ive only seen two of them, but the 2 i have seen (donnie darko and napolean dynamite) i loved so i think ill have to watch the rest of them at some point! thanks :)

  • @kbudz fuck yeah, Battle Royale and American Psycho ;)

  • Überall um mich herum sind bekannte Gesichter Olle Orte Abgetragene Gesichter In aller Früh bereit für die täglichen Läufe Gehen nirgendwo hin hre Tränen füllen ihre (Trink-)Gläser Ausdruckslos Ich ziehe den Kopf ein, ich möchte meinen Kummer ertränken Kein Morgen Kein Morgen Und ich finde es irgendwie witzig Ich finde es irgendwie traurig Die Träume, in denen ich sterbe, sind die Besten, die ich jemals hatte Es fällt mir schwer, es Dir zu erzählen
  • love it

  • will forever be one of my faves

  • this film is amazing

    many people think its crap or a bad ending, but only because they dont understand it

    i dont think any other film ive ever watched has made me think so much

    favourite film, and im reading the philosohy of time travel now.

    the film is based on its theory of tangent and primary universes.

    ahhhh so amazingggg

    and i love jake g aswell, so :D

  • totally agree

    fantastic film

    it made me think about beliefs and time travel

    i would love to read that book 2

  • @xoxhartnellxox Really? Every single person I know loved it.

  • @Crzeimasha i'd have to agree with xoxhartnellxox. i've shown it to a couple of friends, hoping that they would enjoy it as much as i had, and that we'd have these massive discussions on their interpretations. no luck, however. they hated it. didn't understand it. you might just have smarter friends than i do, though. :)

  • @xoxhartnellxox How can anybody think this movie is crap????

  • @xoxhartnellxox Finally, someone that understands the movie like I do. It took me awhile, but after watching the movie 3 times I feel that I completely understand the film's philosophy of time travel. Very interesting stuff, but it still scares the shit out of me

  • @xoxhartnellxox isnt the philosofy of time travel an internet book, like something they put on the web and the special edition film... but it actually has like 10 pages. Im asking because if there is a real book of it I want it, ive watched this film like 12 times.

  • @xoxhartnellxox have you seen inception?

  • @haohaohayashi inception explains what is going on. this one doesn't

  • @BrannonSucks thats the point though, you figure it out yourself. would a joke be be funny if a told it and then explained it right after? nope, it would be ruined and not funny.

  • @xoxhartnellxox where did you find the philosophy of time travel, i'd like to read it too

  • @xoxhartnellxox Philosophy of time travel isn't even a real book... you're lame

  • I want these mysterious backround music of this trailer. It's not on one of the O.S.T. CDs...

  • torrent search it. i downloaded the soundtrack (mad world etc..) as well as the Score.. which is what you are looking for

  • R.I.P. Patrick Swayze

  • loyola high school entrance babay

  • watch?v=DR91Rj1ZN1M&feature=fv­w

  • Great Movie. =]

  • does anyone know what the music in this trailer is called?

  • I just realize all the truth.......and why the people cry in the end.....

    They all lived it like a dream......but they seemed to learned from it.

  • Worst trailer ever didnt even portray the true movie its not a horror film for fuck sake...Cant even put it in a genre really. Just watch the movie and dont expect scares but a whole slew of emotions

  • can someone tell me what wqas that about in the end where it showed frank its hard to follow this movie if you dnt listen and give it 100 % concentration

  • does anybody knows whats the song in the trailer??? i'm obssesed please help!!

  • Manipulated Living by Michael Andrews

  • you're my heroe :D

  • Is this movie scary? :S I am about to watch the DVD, but I am unsure ...

  • it's not horror...it's more of a psychological thriller

  • Ok the book that Grandma death wrote is the most important thing in the whole movie, and to fully understand the film you will need to read it. It is available in some libraries and all over the net.

  • What's the book called?

  • The Philosophy of Time Travel... same as in the movie.

  • I think i read it already. The book is really really really short or it isnt that one?

  • yea its a short book... lol

  • haha okay i thought it was a thick book or somethin I was searching for it haha..its the same one in the movie right? dreams? metal and water? etc etc

  • yeah its the same... i read it. itsreally short. google it. the first link you see.. click on it. you can read it there. it really helps you understand

  • yeah i read it thnxxxxxx :D

  • Hmm I didn't understand the end of this D:

  • Which part about him laughing at the end?

  • No the whole ending I understood everything but the ending :[

  • Donnie has the choice to live or die at the end and he' decides to live because he didn't like being alive and doing all the stuff that he did and he got to save the lives of people. He laughs at the end becasue he is relieved.

  • Yeah, this film is amazing. It makes you think and watch a movie intently. It made a big impression. But.. S Darko.. what was that??? It was, let's say, the same story. Like I say, the same shit just in the other hand...

  • s.darko sucks

  • I'm dying to see this beast of a movie but I've never even heard of the sequel, and judging by everybody's comments it can't be a very good sequel.

  • it's already out, it's good.

  • S, darko is the sequel

  • "They made me do it" but who are they???

  • Pretty sure he means the rabbit...

  • this is SUCH a good film! one of my all time faves...

    the sequel's crap though.

    i think hes hot~

    lol

  • my favourite film

  • gd film

    shit sequel

  • what is the sequel?

  • What's th egirls real name in 0:48 ?... It really bugs me when i can't figure it out ..XD

  • Jena Malone

  • its a masterpiece, no other word for it, s.darko is a complete failure the biggest rip off of this brilliant film,

  • WOW  this was an amzing film :D

  • This is by far one of the best films i have ever seen. It had me glued to my computer the entire time and i thought the ending was perfect. Then it just gets better because you start to glue the pieces together, even though they are very confusing. Just think about the theme of redemption to help you out, i dont want to give any specifics away for when u c it. I say when u c it because every1 should see this epic movie

  • This movie will live on forever! It just resonates so deeply after you watch it.

    I added my TRIBUTE video for the movie as a response.

    If it's approved, PLEASE watch & rate it and comment! :)

  • Cellar door

    that's the most beautiful phrase in the English language

  • i really don't get that....can somebody pleas explain the whole "cellar door" thing?

  • Selah dór

    It's not about the meaning. It's purely about the sound. It's the most phonetically beautiful phrase in the English language.

  • This film is the shit!!!

    I'm gettin it tattooed when i'm eighteen

  • i liked S. Darko, good movie

  • No S. Darko sucked disgrace to the original never needed a squeal.

  • a squeal? hahah

  • I completely agree, sequels don't work with this type of movie.....plus S.Darko was just terrible and a complete ripoff of the first :( i'm glad richard kelly had no part in it.

  • it was a good movie

    but it was completely useless.

  • whoofy, I have to agree with you.

    I picked up S.Darko from blockbuster last night. And my expectations were elevated. The acting was okay, the fault with the movie lies solely with the director and the loss of a coherent story line. They lifted 'elements' from the original. The should have also come up with a decent story and plot.

    So all in all I was greatly disappointed.

  • When It comes to watching this film, it sends shivers down my spine, think about it, "time travel" is it real?, or just a load of rubbish?, well all these (FILMS) are based on time travel, how do we know its all fake, we have no proof?

    makes you think doesn't it?

    i know that i actually believe in all this stuff, somehow,someone has figured it out,and someday well know, well all know.

  • How can even someone compare crappy shit as is S.Darko with this. Its a shame that someone allowed to spoil name of such a great movie with some kinda Sci-fi shit with meteorites. This dirty stain will never be removed and always these two absolutely different movies will be forever compared. Im fed up with this.

    Donnie Darko - Perfect movie, perfect soundtrack and so acting. Definitely in my top10 list.

  • the philosophy of time travel is real!?!

    can u get it on any store???

  • Nah the pages of the philosophy of time travel are shown in the directors cut of Donnie Darko, and I believe the special features of the original movie.

  • I saw S. Darko and I really likes it

    It related alot to Donnie Darko if you think about it.

  • well duh it probably does.

  • this movie is the fucking best

  • S. Darko looks so bad!

  • this sounds cool but I've never seen this preview until now...

  • Comment removed

  • to whoever the dumbass is that's making a sequel: you can't fix what's not broken.

  • They're not trying to fix it..they're just continue it...

  • i know, i was just using that expression to say that they shouldn't try to tamper with something that is already good on its own.

    i hate when perfectly good movies get sequels, it just ruins it.

  • I agree with rainbowmonochrome, this movie would have been great if they let it be, the next ones gonna be a totale chick flick! GAAAAAYYYYYY

  • The film is great, but if you think it over a while you realize that it's plot stem is completely not logical. I'm not going to spoil so I'll end my comment here, but after watching it, rethink the main theme of DD people :)

  • I don't agree with you there. I watched the movie quiet a few times, and read both the books mentioned in the movie. I think it makes sense. A little flawed, but way deeper than I think most people would think the first time they meditate on it. It takes a little reading to understand. Look up The Philosophy of Time Travel by Roberta Sparrow. It makes things connect. Of course some things are very fictional, but the idea of a tangent universe may not be so off...

  • Yeah, well Watership Down wasn't so great. It was kind of boring.

  • Well that's completely random. But i saw that movie, didn't read the book.. They showed it to us in 6th grade, I forget the reason though. I smiled when I saw it though, It was amusing to see it. No offense to anyone when I say this, But donnie darko seems to be a movie for intellgent people. Most people I know who are in lower classes that have seen the movie find it boring, but people in higher classes, like myself, appreciate the movie more.

  • I agree with you. A lot of people I know haven't even heard of Donnie Darko. I love how it makes you think differently, and I can also relate to Donnie, sort of. You should see S. Darko. I expected it to be awful, but it was actually pretty good considering. It was really true to the Philosophy of Time Travel surprisingly. I liked all the Donnie Darko references in it, too.

  • it wouldnt be a spoiler for me, explain

  • S. Darko?

    waayttttt?

  • Samantha Darko

  • this movie is brilliant.

    a modern masterpeice.

  • this movie is awsome and it is crazy at the same time i love it

  • looks like a good movie...i wanna watch it.

  • its amazing

  • Great movie a materpiece!!! If you liked this you might and know that i said might like Fight Club another Materpiece!!!!!

  • whats the song

  • One of the songs off the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

  • Everything moves along a set path, if donnie doesnt die, then it is a tangent universe that will collapse upon itself. frank sets donnie up so that almost everyone he cares for will die and by killing gretchan, donnie will kill frank allowing frank to guide donnie throughout the movie, roberta sparrow helps him realize and get over the fact that everything dies alone, so that donnie will make the right choice by staying in bed when the time comes for him to die.

  • The question is... was Frank's appearance helping to begin with? :O

  • amazing film

  • It doesn't have to do with Donnie.

    It's about Frank...

  • wow, you just spoiled it

  • my favorite movie ever! hey jus a tip 4 ppl who like interesting movies. watch a movie called paranoid park. great movie! an didnt get enough credit.

  • It looks kind of good and it has that awesome song mad world

  • zajebisty film...

  • Personally I think this trailer is misleading, makes it look more like a random psycho slasher flick than the thought-provoking masterpiece of art that it actually is.

  • BEST. FILM. EVER! i swear, Donnie speaks to me so much, and i can't get that song out of my head ("Mad World"). This movie has made me cry, and could possibly be the best movie of all time, because it makes you think...

  • i saw this movie for the first time last night.

    goddamn, GREATEST FILM OF ALL TIME!

    showed me a perspective on life.

  • the sequel better nit ruin it cos this movie is great!

  • theres a sequel?

  • Yeah, it's called s.Darko. It's coming out on DVD and Blue Ray on May 12th.

  • nope no sequel :( sucks its a aweosme movie dude ! :)

  • lol

    ther is a sequal

    S. Darko

  • My name is Darko :)

  • This film is faultless. One of my all time favorites. Makes me weep like a loon. Sooooo good sooooooo funny soooooooooooo darko.

    If the remake rumour is true then I've gotta go swear and kick a can. Doh! You couldn't create the magic again with any other cast, soundtrack, or flavour.

  • i mean sequel too

  • this film is fuckin'beautiful!

  • lmao

  • s.Darko

  • I want to see this movie. I heard there's going to be a remake.

  • sequel... not remake

  • no problem :D

  • oh! a sequal! whats called??

  • S. Darko... Now is Samantha in the movie. Will be release in april I guess. I don't recall when actualy. You can watch the movie trailer on youtube already
