Absolutely i am 38 as of August 25, 2021.i grew up tripping on CCC, LSD, SHROOMS & many other designer drugs. But this movie has a HUGE colt following. I always bring back good memories!
Amazing scene and use of music but the story was very disappointing - you shouldn’t have to watch the director’s commentary to fill in the gaps. David Lynch has gotten away with this kind of filmmaking somehow but no joy for Richard Kelly
Donnie Darko and Tears for Fears... a match made in HEAVEN! What happened to good movies and good songs? They seem to have fluttered away on the wind like beautiful little butterflies...
M Urschel Both music and movies are subjective, but you'll find what you like if you're willing to search for it. It's one of the few good thing about the internet.
One of the few times a classic song has been used in a movie and really manages to create a powerful scene rather than be mere wallpaper for the film in the background.
As a film student, one (of the MANY) thing I find remarkable about the way Richard Kelly tells his story is that every major character besides Donnie is introduced in a song sequence.
I am so glad they picked head over heals from tears for fears. This song is such a great representation of the carefree 80's. It brings chills down my back because as a kid those memories stick
Donnie Darko is a very underrated movie. This is a classic film w/ the coolest soundtrack. My first time seeing it just blew me away. I liked it so much I bought the DVD. I make it a tradition to watch it the month of October. The story takes place October 1988. ❤️👍🎶
donnie darko is my favorite movie of all time. it sparks even the young brains of teenagers (such as myself) to consider the possibilities of energy beyond what we're taught at school or "supposed" to know. this movie makes me ponder planned fate or just "going as you go". also has a dark edge to it which is the kind of thing i love in movies
Best use of a song in a film ever! This scene is really awesome. Now that I'm older and have a much better understanding of the film, everything that happens makes sense. Everything happens for a reason. Drew Barrymore's character is one of the manipulated living. She was subconsciously drawn to make sure that Gretchen and Donnie sit together thus sparking a relationship between them. Great film!
Quite stunning how one scene can contain so much irony and sarcasm but above all truth. I have never seen another scene that touched on so many themes and had such depth.
WTF, how can 60 people (thus far) not enjoy this? TFF --- Roland and Curt --- just magical voices. I'm lulled by the beauty of their music some 25 years later. I wish they would record every year. I love them so much.
This is one of my favourite scenes in the whole movie - the dual long shots, the acting timing, and the fact that to every character in this scene, I can match a kid or a teacher to them from my school exactly. Great example of a realistic view of the politics of the playground.
I love the montage such an incredible scene in this film. It shows us who the characters are and I like the way it shows us how the characters interact and think of each other, also how very different people are experiencing high school. brilliant too adding that song, makes it nostalgic
The only reason I watched this film was because a guy told me i was very like donnie or I reminded him of Donnie. It ended up being the first film I ever cried watching.
DD is endlessly fascinating for many reasons. Has characteristics of a cult classic. Sm reason people love Bladerunner from back in 1982. Aesthetically its a work of art I have to say. I was n high school in 1988 and JST saw this film a week ago. I was completly blown away. None of my friends my own age had seen it. For many its also amazing to see the little girl who was in ponytails in ET sitting here teaching. ER star here and PatSwayze RIP. Gyllenhalls first major film. Loads of reason.
Saw this film for the first time last night. I'm 60 and I've seen thousands of films in my lifetime. NOTHING compares to this. Its like the Van Gogh of motion pictures. Breathtaking.
I have no words to describe how it makes me feel...This film is different from the rest, the music, the mistery, everything it envolves. I've seen it a houndred times and I can't get tired of it, it's such an incredible story...I felt in love with Donnie, with Frank and even with the airplane xD When I watch it I feel different from the rest, I think it's magic. It's so sad but satisfactory at the same time.
This is SO cool... Sometimes you forget/don't realize how great a song is until it is displayed/portrayed within the context/theme of a film/scene. Perfection here!
I saw this again recently for the first time in ages and really thought this whole scene is extraordinary. The combination of the weird camera angle at the start, timed just right with a bit of classic 80's pop, right through to the whole long pan up the corridor with the scary beardy guy, the teacher and the love interest is just genius.
The lyrics couldn't fit any more perfect with the plot. "I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance via the system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out until I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away Throw it away, throw it away I made a fire, and watching it burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last? Now, now, now, have you no ambitions? My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh, I feel so Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out until I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away And this is my four leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four leaf clover In my mind's eye One little boy, one little man Funny how time flies" The song even ends on the word flies (association to airplanes) and an unsettling tone. The feeling of the end of this song is very similar to the feeling when the movie ends. Might be my favorite use of song in film!
This scene reminds me of my own school life, I had two teachers that were almost exactly like Drew Barrymore and Noah Wyle are in this movie (they both were a couple, too).
The greatest crime in film history is that this movie eluded me until three days ago. It is now in my top five of all time. I can't wait to watch it again. This 2 1/2 minute scene is one of the greatest in cinema history. Much thanks to menaceboy. I have seen this 50 times in three days.
This movie will go down in history as ground breaking. I will teach it in my film school classes. I will change the world through films like this. I love this. Who's ready to enter into darkness with me?
I grew up in the 80's it was great They say humans are happier when they have more physical interaction. 80's was all about getting dressed up and going out.
The use of this song in this montage certainly beats the already fantastic music video. Side note: I can't help but feel in tune with Barrymore's character at the end. Great physical acting. Portraying the contempt of the situation perfectly.
lets see, it's about time travel, hypocrisy in American culture, martyrdom for the greater good, it's like a modernized, revamped version of the jesus story, hence why his mom is always bathed in light. it's also about the political climate in the 1980s, it's also a love story, a psychological thriller, among many other things. Basically, it's one of those movies you have to see at least three times to fully understand.
Rejoice in thy youth O' young man Ecclesiastes This scene brings back memories of when I was in high school in the late '80s, it was beautiful, it's sad to reminisce about my youth. Being 50 now, it makes me realize that I took those days for granted, when you're in the '80s as a 17-year-old and you are surrounded by the most beautiful things, you don't realize it at the time, later in life you do. This movie is a microcosm of the way things were for me, it was beauty
I saw this movie and had such a good laugh. It brought back crazy memories of when I was at school and all the characters that were there lol and this great song made it even better.
Your exactly right,,this movie has left a mark on me,Ie always felt a connection with the message this ts not lost in this incredible movie,I really think the writer is a genius 😢💙🎸✌️🎹
That whole scene with tears for fears playing , is my all time favourite scene from any movie. I love everything about that scene.
exactly I as was thinking the same thing when I watched the movie the first time
You know what's even better than that and my personal favorite of Donnie Darko? The opening scene whith INXS Never Tear Us Apart.
You and me both!
@@JayInDecent not as good as the Bunnymen opening
❤❤👍👍
Every scene from this movie is so memorable, truly a classic.
Danjoker I learned it's easier to decipher this movie when you're not trying to decipher it.
Its now considered a cult classic !!
Especially the last...
For real though. What an incredible fucking film
Absolutely i am 38 as of August 25, 2021.i grew up tripping on CCC, LSD, SHROOMS & many other designer drugs. But this movie has a HUGE colt following. I always bring back good memories!
This is art , i think this movie was edited by genius,
agreed
An “art” genius, for sure
agreed, and not just for being focused on theoretical physics
This entire fucking movie was brilliance at its best
Amazing scene and use of music but the story was very disappointing - you shouldn’t have to watch the director’s commentary to fill in the gaps.
David Lynch has gotten away with this kind of filmmaking somehow but no joy for Richard Kelly
donnie darko is probably one of my favorite movies of ALL time
Same here. What an incredible film, honestly
it's so emblematic, i'm born in 1993 yet this resembles with our generation so much
real
Man... The opening to this song gives me such a overwhelming nostalgia for my days as a kid growing up in the 80s. Beautiful.
Noah Robert Graves I love your profile pic. I've used that same image on my Facebook. 🙏🏻
The good old 80's. Hard to beat.
Missing this so hard right now, cellar door indeed
Same here. Lots of good memories.
Came here to like the comment about how I was feeling.
❤80s
Donnie Darko and Tears for Fears... a match made in HEAVEN! What happened to good movies and good songs? They seem to have fluttered away on the wind like beautiful little butterflies...
M Urschel Both music and movies are subjective, but you'll find what you like if you're willing to search for it. It's one of the few good thing about the internet.
What happened? They're still happening.
Urch: Chris Cornell Casino Royale comes to mind.
It technically has two tears for fears songs in if you count Gary Jules cover of Mad World
Studios and executives got in the way of both.
One of the few times a classic song has been used in a movie and really manages to create a powerful scene rather than be mere wallpaper for the film in the background.
VERY well said
Holy resurrection post. Totally agree. Epic song and brings back so many memories as a teenager in the mid 80s
I love how they introduce almost all of the characters in this part,
so clever c;
As a film student, one (of the MANY) thing I find remarkable about the way Richard Kelly tells his story is that every major character besides Donnie is introduced in a song sequence.
thanks for that I never noticed.
Such a good spot that is!
Wow true, is interesting 👌🏻
This scene is like a High School dream. I loved it.
why?
the amount of times i rewound this on dvd....
r.i.p. patrick swayze.
❤
I never knew Patrick Swayze was on this film
What's the name of soundtrack at 4:36?
Donnie Darko is the perfect fit for the Tears For Fears Classic...such a great movie
This movie has all the best elements; great soundtrack (first and foremost), a baffling mystery, a hint of sci-fi, and a little romance.
This is one of my favorite scenes from any movie ever, and to think that it's this director's first film. What a way to start off!
I love the "wtf" look drew barrymore gives to sparkle motion aha
This has got to be one of the best sequences I've ever seen in a movie.
What a movie and perfect soundtrack. A rare feat.
+Drive.
+Dune.
All the D's ...weird.
Which 'Drive'?
The Mark Dacascos one?
Muad' Dib drive is amazing
Leigh Dappa the one with Ryan gosling
I wanna delete my memory about donnie darko and watch it again.
This movie made me get into 80s music.
One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
I've never seen a full song being used this good in a movie ... fantastic!
Whoever decided this song for this scene I hope they find peace in life
I am so glad they picked head over heals from tears for fears. This song is such a great representation of the carefree 80's. It brings chills down my back because as a kid those memories stick
I love this movie so much, what a gem. They don't make amazing movies like this anymore.
Donnie Darko is a very underrated movie. This is a classic film w/ the coolest soundtrack.
My first time seeing it just blew me away. I liked it so much I bought the DVD. I make it a tradition to watch it the month of October. The story takes place October 1988. ❤️👍🎶

Man this opening is nostalgic as hell❤😢
😎🖤🥷
@@amberjeneric5839 😂😅
lol that "sit next to the boy you think is the cutest" is just so evil
This is the best scene in the movie; the selection of this song was perfect.
This movie is a real masterpiece, so underrated IMO
Quite stunning how one scene can contain so much irony and sarcasm but above all truth. I have never seen another scene that touched on so many themes and had such depth.
are you still around?
@@curtismellor somehow yes
WTF, how can 60 people (thus far) not enjoy this? TFF --- Roland and Curt --- just magical voices. I'm lulled by the beauty of their music some 25 years later. I wish they would record every year. I love them so much.
I just saw this movie the other day and I gotta say, it was excellent!
This is one of my favourite scenes in the whole movie - the dual long shots, the acting timing, and the fact that to every character in this scene, I can match a kid or a teacher to them from my school exactly. Great example of a realistic view of the politics of the playground.
Me to then and 9 years after that.
Donnie Darko remains on my top 10 list of favorite movies. Great soundtrack too. I have both. 😚
Tears For Fears. Great band and classic tune from 1985.
I love the montage such an incredible scene in this film. It shows us who the characters are and I like the way it shows us how the characters interact and think of each other, also how very different people are experiencing high school. brilliant too adding that song, makes it nostalgic

"the first film I ever cried watching." I think I went to a screening where we discussed it afterward. Sometimes movies are put together very well.
Wonderful scene from one of my favourite movie ever.
I think this is the best acting I've seen from Drew
This movie has some of the best songs........
The dude snorting a pill or coke at his locker lmfao.
it'd be a pill these days
ElGatosLastLife Seth rogan is a goat
Phenomenal movie. Richard Kelly's first movie, too. He was young AF. This is in my top 5 movies of of all time. Possibly top 3.
Did he make any other good movies
This movie deserves WAY more attention

Shawshank redemption?
I miss school, just the simple things like walking through it and seeing everyone
I have no words to describe how it makes me feel...This film is different from the rest, the music, the mistery, everything it envolves.

Phenomenal; In My Opinion!!!!
My favourite use of an in movie song and maybe my favourite movie - truly my four leaved clover ❤️
i LOVED this part of the movie, for some strange reason lol... this song is amazing:)
3:10 "You suck" that part cracks me up every time. Poor girl got roasted by her teacher and classmate.
Hahaha!!
Drew Barrymore is the ultimate bae in this film... imo anyway.
Gamesarki I love her !
Costa del Artlepool stands for before anything else, basically just a significant other
this is my fav track from the movie, genius! this sountrack is one of the best i have ever seen in any movie!
Don't you miss the days when Tears for Fears ruled FM radio?
Joe Bonnie God yes
@@grazideda long live the 80's!! Ham Tyler the classic "bad" good guy. My roll model since i was
❤❤❤👍
I remember
Songs From the Big Chair was such an excellent soundtrack for adolescence.
They had three hit songs, now two have been used in films.
this movie is so perfect...i love it
This is SO cool...
Sometimes you forget/don't realize how great a song is until it is displayed/portrayed within the context/theme of a film/scene.
Perfection here!
Truly beautiful and brilliant filmmaking.
This scene is beautiful. I love watching it:)
This is a nice music scene from Donnie Darko. ❤️💖✨🌙💙🤍
Donni Darkos amazing movie.great opening scene, 80's at its best. fear and love lol
there is no other movie that can set great mysterious atmosphere like this.
Is that fucking Seth Rogen in the coke-sniffing scene lol
yep, that's him
Yes long before Superbad
Yeah that was his film debut
I saw this again recently for the first time in ages and really thought this whole scene is extraordinary. The combination of the weird camera angle at the start, timed just right with a bit of classic 80's pop, right through to the whole long pan up the corridor with the scary beardy guy, the teacher and the love interest is just genius.

"I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just, just, just wasting time
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
I made a fire, and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last?
Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
And this is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
In my mind's eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how time flies"
The song even ends on the word flies (association to airplanes) and an unsettling tone. The feeling of the end of this song is very similar to the feeling when the movie ends. Might be my favorite use of song in film!
A creative way to introduce all the characters in the movie.
love this film, but every time i watch it im always waiting for the high 5 fail at
2:06
haha
I haven't seen that movie, but TFF is what I listen to daily. And Roland has the most beautiful voice that I've ever heard, his voice melts me 😍❤️
flawless scene
Tears For Fears ftw. This movie was soo crazy. Lot of language as well.
This scene reminds me of my own school life, I had two teachers that were almost exactly like Drew Barrymore and Noah Wyle are in this movie (they both were a couple, too).
The greatest music scores in history!!! Doesn't get much better than this!!!
He figured out time travel
I cant help myself, I cant imagine better music for this clip ( movie as well). Great work.
doing blow in the hallway of school is CRAZY

Will you still be working at the Yarn Barn?
I heard that’s a great place to raise children
When can I squeeze one out?
This movie will go down in history as ground breaking. I will teach it in my film school classes. I will change the world through films like this. I love this. Who's ready to enter into darkness with me?
Too bad I didn't grow up in the 80s, it looked like a fun time. Oh well at least I was born in 80s.
I grew up in the 80's it was great
They say humans are happier when they have more physical interaction. 80's was all about getting dressed up and going out.
god this is one hell of a sequence. the picture perfectly complimenting the sound, the mood of the film. just great
the greatest film ever
❗I think you mean 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'.
The use of this song in this montage certainly beats the already fantastic music video.
Side note: I can't help but feel in tune with Barrymore's character at the end. Great physical acting. Portraying the contempt of the situation perfectly.
Algun latino , la mejor película la amo
I like this song more than everybody wants to rule to word, or shout. It has this hypnotic ending that's hard to explain, just awesome
THE greatest scene ever.

Your exactly right,,this movie has left a mark on me,Ie always felt a connection with the message this ts not lost in this incredible movie,I really think the writer is a genius 😢💙🎸✌️🎹
Why is this in a different key than the original?
I guess you (me 2) looked the director's cut, not the "original"
Its definitely sped up. Drew Barrymore practically sounds like Mickey mouse
Wait a second it’s sped up
Wait a second copy right can’t remove it.
Sped up for copyright I think
This whole scene down the hall and everything was filmed brilliantly!
I time traveled to put a like on this comment!
Pode ser louco, mas eu não canso de ver...
This is why I liked this movie.
Chut up!
Go back to China bi---
A movie I soon are going to watch with my 14 year old daughter. Just to show her how great movies are made and are Timeless... Funny how time flies
It sounds like the song has been speeded up.
Yeah ...
It definitely has been
The visuals were obviously fast forwarded through the hallway, so maybe it’s a play to that. Great scene.
@@p0479 more likely it's from PAL to NTSC conversion something *like* that or sped up to avoid copyright
