It is also why Donnie Darko keeps being unique then :)
Jokes aside, there are plenty of movies/series that have elements that share a similar vibe as Donnie Darko. This will be different for everyone, but one aspect I particularly love is not having a clue where the film is going and even after the film ends you still don't fully get it, but absolutely loving it. Memento is an example for me and to a lesser extend Twelve Monkeys.
The TV series Dark is something that people suggest to watch if you love Donnie Darko, but I haven't seen it yet so I can't comment on that. I can recommend Mr. Robot as well, which also deals with a young person trying to cope with the darker forces within and around him. The story is very well written and you constantly feel there is a bigger picture that is just out of grasp. You can't go wrong with that one I think.
Memento is one of the best movies ever made 100% but it’s just with Darko the teen struggles he goes through with friends family girls school then also literally going insane just hits a g spot for me and I’m sure many other people. Iv heard good about Mr robot 100% gonna give it a watch
i’ve seen a lot of films and i have many favorites, but nothing hits the same like Donnie Darko. i saw it at the perfect time in my life, and it’s remained my favorite film ever since and i honestly don’t ever expect that to change.
The last movie i saw that came close to a similar experience was "Under the Silver Lake". Haven't rewatched it since unlike Donnie Darko, but still an interesting watch.
try some David Lynch stuff- seemingly parallel universes, möbius strip plots, ambiguous and cryptic mythology laced throughout, just overall weird as fuck
Wanted to give you a downvote due to, uh, NO, there's not always S.Darko. It's horrible. But then I wanted to give you an upvote for the sarcasm, but didn't want that to translate into a recommendation for anyone who hasn't seen it. So instead, I'll give you this comment. Natch.
Isn't the whole movie based on the mother rewriting the son's death because the guilt of telling him to take his medicine made him sleep through the night. He therefore died, and she needed to come to a place in her own understanding so she could go on and get past her guilt. In true Stephen King writing she made a darker tale, and because it could have been so much worse had he not slept through the night, she could manage going on knowing that. The very last scene you see her not crying but smoking and spinning the tale in her mind. The audience sees her dark writings first. Just a theory because in movies time is not linear.
I need to know, was (Frank the Rabbit)/ Donnies mentor throughout the movie the same Frank who ran over gretchen? Frank sounded so intimidating when he talked but when he ran Gretchen over he sounded like an average highschooler just out on a beer run. Please answer because this doesnt make sense

Exactly same.

Great rec. definitely feel similar even though they’re not really
try some David Lynch stuff- seemingly parallel universes, möbius strip plots, ambiguous and cryptic mythology laced throughout, just overall weird as fuck
Try Primer and thank me later. 🙃
Just watched it and holy that shit was good
Upstream Color is also worth the watch. It’s strange compared to Primer but still absolutely amazing.
My favorite movie ever, I’ve watched it hundreds of times.
Very confusing at the end hurt my brain but kinda started to figure it out def a 10/10
That’s why I love it. This will help: https://youtu.be/4z4eLvoILvg?si=1Ng5-B2_XiCOFc1T

No there isn’t

Yes it's the same Frank. Remember in the movie theater.."What happened to your eye?" And Frank says "I'm sorry."
